 I’d like to answer in the perspective of a Chinese student.

Pros:

  • Low tuition fee together with high acceptance rate. Sometimes even with a scholarship. Chinese are always very envious about that and sometimes blame our government for that.
  • Privileges. Foreigners are first-class citizens compared to ordinary Chinese. I’d tell you a story, once a Japanese lost a bike, and it was found by the police just couple of days later, which was incredible for Chinese.
  • Low labor prices. For example, you can take a taxi for 3km with less than 2 USD in most cities.(Maybe all the cities.). Eat out with 14 USD/person would be quite satisfying. (Actually 2 USD is about the average in the school canteen.)
  • Teach English. As long as you are a white native speaker, 20 dollars/hr. is quite easy to earn in this developing country. (That’s higher than the Part-time job in the McDonald, right?) Professionals can even earn 100 USD/hr.
  • Safety. Anyway I had never seen a real gun. Knives are not allowed in subway and trains. Seldom see beggers and stramps (in Eastern China), on the other hand, those who are hopeless and may tend to conduct a crime are very rare. And homicide is rare, too. Lower than 1 in a hundred thousand according to the statistics. So you do not have to worry when you are living in downtown.

Cons:

  • Inconvenience. You have lots of things to deal with, lots of boring paperwork, registration… My buddies are always asking about this in a wechat groups. I mean, if I were the administrator, I’ll just make it as easy as it could, and the bureau and the data would be the guy that run around. Plus, taking a train is much more compicated for a foreigner.
  • Pollution. Actually cities like Shanghai are quite well, at least still acceptable most of the time. Welcome to Fudan Univ.(Unpaid AD).
  • Network. Simply buy a VPN, like the Express VPN or Nord VPN. (Actually I do not recommend them because the price is relatively high.)
  • Freedom. Ah… Of course not better than the West. You may need none in China (Rallying? Publishing?), and you would not be arrested because you say "Xi is an idiot." in Twitter.(Actually lots of Chinese do so and they still live in their homes. Only in some rare cases will you get trouble. Btw, many famous Chinese people have Twitter.)
  • Relatively low quality of education. That’s the one that I actually worry about. Professors have a lot of researching work and they are more intimate with the graduates rather than the undergraduates. And fortunately it’s getting better because the Ministry of education said that all professors should teach the undergraduates. But compared with their Western peers, they care less about undergraduates and they are willing to use the textbooks that are published by themselves rather than the best ones. (And again, if you study in the Fudan University, this would be much better. lol.)

  https://www.istudy-china.com/      Related What is it like for a foreigner to work or study in China? I've done both: Study: It's been a truly unique experience, I've met people from places I've never thought I would know anyone from, or even knew existed, like: Korea, Azerbaijan, Japan, Russia, Mali, the list goes on and on.. Had roommates from Grenada, Djibuouti, Senegal, France and Mongolia, pretty diverse if you ask me. Then of course you can presence Chinese culture and ridiculously fast development by yourself, oh and learn Chinese which is pretty useful and a beautiful language, if you put in the required effort/interest. Now the bad, well there is the pollution, traffic, lots of people, yes we all know.. But, if there is something I truly, truly dislike and feel dissapointed about is China's educational system, because: It only encourages memorizing stuff from books. Feels very fake (Teachers didn't even know what classes I had to take, handling empty ...

  https://www.istudy-china.com/      Related What real benefits can I get by studying in China? Hello! I am Clara, originally from Spain, but spent a semester abroad in China on University of Nottingham Ningbo. As a student there I benefited from many things that I couldn’t have possibily learned in my home university. Studying abroad is a decision that requires courage. Even more, if it’s in a foreign country with a very different culture than yours. I think there are many things to take away from China. From culture, to future job perspectives and of course achiving a higher level of mandarin I guess that most people try to work or study in China due to job opportunities. In this sense, it is indeed a country where engineer students will get the best formation possible, along with some experience, as in many universities there are interships programs. For example, University of Nottingham has links with many important companies like Huaweii or Microsoft. Also, it h...
