This video is very helpful! I’ve been interested about studying in China for a few years now, so i’ll definetly consider this uni as an option. Thank you!
Sounds like you enjoyed Fudan. I’m there now, but I’m in the master’s degree program. We don’t get a chance to interact with the language school students at all. It’s like two separate worlds. And you guys are usually only here for a year tops. It makes it hard to get to know you.
I'm from spain, I am currently studying english and I want to learn chenese too. I love your channel because you have a really nice pronunciation and this is perfect to improve my listening of english! thank you very much.
Hii im still in high school and nowhere near graduating thus i don’t really understand how it all works but I really want to study in china and i can speak a little chinese so i wondered if u needed to have really good grades or were accepted almost immediately since ive heard fudan was a prestigious universities
(Just my complaints, you don’t have to read it) What an irony... i got 631 (一本線595) in 2015 Anhui Province College Entrance Exam, which was too low to apply Unis like Fudan... yet with that score i got accepted by the University of Amsterdam, and i just got into the National University of Singapore for the exchange program because of my academic performance in the first two years. Fudan was where i wanna go, but they think i was inadequate. I don’t know. It just makes me feel depressed to think of all the extra money paid to study in the Netherlands as a non-EU student and the fact that international students always get into good Chinese universities easily because they are NOT Chinese nationals. The thing is, with a score of 631 I wasn’t be able to go to any place near Fudan. The top universities in china got all the best resources while the rest remains left behind with very limited academic output due to the lack of resources. Should I just blame myself because I didn’t get a Hellish 690 out of 750? I remember when i was interviewed by the uni admission office they told me that i shouldn’t worry too much about my ‘rather too low CEE score’ because they think that Chinese top universities are being too harsh with those numbers. It makes sense, considering everyone now had to compete harder for very limited amount of resources distributed among those very limited numbers of universities.
According to my experience, the most important thing before traveling to China is to install a VPN first. Without a VPN, you will not be able to access Facebook and TH-cam, and choosing a VPN is not an easy task as some VPNs cannot bypass Chinese internet restrictions. MetroVPN is a very reliable VPN, better than others I have used before. It supports all models of iPhone and iPad, and all Windows computers. While it's not cheap (about $10 per month), it's really worth it, and it supports multiple devices at the same time.
At 5:13 the banner with yellow text belongs to a quite good Uyghurs halal restaurant. I recommand it if you haven't been there yet (or maybe you have already :P)
Hello ByKaja, Thanks for the great content, I have just received the Chinese Government Scholarship to pursue my studies in Shanghai and I have two questions: 1. Is there a student card that I can use for Shanghai Metro or bus services? 2. How much students spend on food per month? Thanks
Hey there, I studied at Fudan through the government scholarship too (2012-2015 so sorry if the info is dated). Everyone just uses a normal Shanghai metro card for the bus, I don't remember ever hearing about a student card. Public transit is quite cheap in general. For food, it depends a lot on what you get, if you're eating in the cafeteria, it can be incredibly cheap, same if you're going to go shopping and cook your own food (minus Western ingredients like butter and cheese). Shanghai can also be as expensive as you want it to be, but a standard meal out could generally be about 30-50 rmb depending on the place (USD 4.5-6.5), or about 15 rmb for just noodles.
Haii i just watch your video i mean this video So i was wondering what major that you take at fudan university? Any difficulty that when you start your collage at fudan? And how your mandarin? Did fudan teach your the begging? I just searching fot this kind of video ncs next your i want to go to shanghai for next education
I'm thinking of doing an exchange program at Fudan Univesity. Your video really helped me decide between different universities and I would love to talk through DMs about maybe some recommendations you could give me from personal experience!
Wondering if you could give me some input on how expensive it is to live in the dorms (or in China in general). I am planning on going for at least 6 months, but I don't know how it compares to Western countries as far as living expenses. Also... any tips you could provide on what I should do to prep for the trip? (ex. pay for a metro card in advance, what level of Mandarin I should be on to get around, etc) Thank you in advance!
Hi, so rent for a dorm is about 2500 yuan per month and for a room in an apartment I would say around 3500-4000 (and that's not downtown), watch the video I made it's called Cost of Living in Shanghai I talk there about all the cost of life in Shanghai from bills to transportation, coffee, food etc Hope it helps! :)
Hi kaja , im from a non english speaking country and my parents that are chinese told me that in the university they teach me chinese and after one year i can choose the carrer i want and if I wanted to be taught in English i had to take the IELTS or TOEFL because i speak Spanish so i am very confused
What was it like living in the International student dorms at Fudan? I'm really curious as I will be living in an international dorm too... I heard that they impose student curfews
I really loved it, it was super fun. The area is nice, and the dorm itself is decant as well if you have a single room. The only downside is that the big supermarket is quite far (30 min walk to walmart and maybe around 20 to tesco), however there are a lot of more local small shops around and plenty of food places etc. When I lived there and when I visited a friend around half a ayers ago, there was no curfew and to be honest I really don't think they would ever make one. Chinese students who stay at Fudan dorms have curfew but rules are different for students at international dorm, we could leave and come back at whatever time we wanted.
byKaja Thank you so much for the reply! Was it ever a problem having friends visiting Shanghai crash at your room? I'll be living in a single room so I'm really curious about that
oh yeah if that's what you mean that can be a problem, technically you're not allowed to have people over, and everybody who comes over needs to leave an id with the security guards, but I knew a lot of people who had friends coming over and what they would do is to just a rent a room in the dorms for their friends (it was quite cheap) and then you can do whatever you want
Another TH-camr (a Russian girl with about the same # of subscribers as this channel) also studied Chinese at Fudan around the same time. Did you know her?
In that case, I went back and looked at a 4.5-year old video she published on TH-cam (with almost 1M views) and can identify you in the background for 2 seconds when she visited the French Concession. You probably helped her take some of the videos since not all were done POV or selfie style.
Thanks for the replies. Now I know I definitely should cut back on watching too many China videos on TH-cam. Next thing you'll tell me is this other TH-camr is in your photo collage near the beginning of this video.
hey! thank you for your video, it was really helpful! Was it really hard to be accepted? recently I've been so interested in China and its culture but I'm scared to apply there for my master degree
luisa rota it’s really impossible to say since I assume it changes every year but if I were you I would just give it a try! It’s always worth to try :)
Hi! so um i live in shanghai (for 11 years so like ye) and i love it here i can never see myself living anywhere else in the world, so i thought about going to university in shanghai. and i thought about going to Fudan. i want to major in psychology and i'm not sure if Fudan is the best choice, what do you think? i'd greatly appreciate your advice. (i love you btw i subscribed)
Hi, it's hard for me to say since I assume you can only study psychology at Fudan in Chinese and I'm more familiar with the English majors ;/ but if you want to stay in Shanghai Fudan is considered a good uni for sure! :)
Hello ,can i ask what u studied in fudan ,if u studied business,does it enable u to get a job in ur own country ,becuz their business systems are not same with western ,for example they dont use insta facebook youtube for business marketing but wechat weibo and qq are used
@@KajaKubicka how much does it actually costs ? How was the experience ? For whom this course would be useful ? Is it worth doing ? About the study trips ? Job opportunities ? Basically I covered everything 😅😅
should I rather choose Fudan or Chula for my exchange semester? It seems as you are promoting both universities and countries :D Kind regards from Germany :)
I'm not promoting these two universities I just went to both of them ;) There are both very different and also the cities are quite different, so it's very personal what you prefer
Elina Mendes Everything is very cheap because of government subsidies, and try to apply for a scholarship. It usually costs about $2000 or $3000 one year for a Chinese student without any scholarship including everything you mentioned.
I just have a simple question : Does international student have classes and courses in English or Chinese and English? And should international students study the Chinese language? Hope u answer my questions 👀......
@byKaja do you know anything about the Shanghai Jiaotong University- University of Michigan Joint Institute (JI)? If you do could you please tell me since I am planning to apply there for next year? Thank you very much
Hi Emily, I went there a couple of year ago so the prices could have easily changed since there are more and more people coming to China, but as far as I remember the price back then was around 10.000 RMB for a semester but I'm not quite sure
haibin zhang She has a polish/dutch accent. I am born and raised in America. Her accent is closer to Eastern Europe than to American. No hate, and don't mean to be critical. But I have met no Americans born and raised in America with her accent.
I feel sad to watch your blog of your past experience investing your youth in one place with lots of memories either sweat or tough maybe I have a vulnerable nerve system
What is the cost for undergraduate program/ graduate ( engineering subjects ) for international students? Can you please tell me :} i would be happy if you reply
Silvia Era only because I went to Fudan it doesn’t mean that I know the cost of all programs by heart ;) as I said in the video I did Chinese language program so I don’t know anything about engineering, if I were you I would just check on their website
If you are from a western country, doing a degree in China wouldn't be a good idea. Most western governments don't recognize degrees from Chinese universities, even prestigious ones. If you want to study in China, it would be a better idea to just do a semester or two of language study.
byKaja how did you get the option to go to Thailand to learn. I really want to do it now rather than do it in England. I’ve been twice before for holiday near Phuket
This video is very helpful! I’ve been interested about studying in China for a few years now, so i’ll definetly consider this uni as an option. Thank you!

How is it to make a master degree in china? I'm considering so, but I want to know how good is the academic experience.
Thanks you in advance.
