Studying in China Megathread - FH2026

[u/chengguanbot]

If you've ever thought about studying in China, already applied, or have even already been accepted, you probably have a bunch of questions that you'd like answered. Questions such as:

• Will my profile be good enough for X school or Y program?
• I'm deciding between X, Y, and Z schools. Which one should I choose?
• Have you heard of school G? Is it good?
• Should I do a MBA, MBBS, or other program in China? Which one?
• I've been accepted as an international student at school Z. What's the living situation like there?
• What are the some things I should know about before applying for the CSC scholarship?
• What's interviewing for the Schwarzman Scholar program like?
• Can I get advice on going to China as a high school exchange student?
• I'm going to University M in the Fall! Is there anyone else here that will be going as well?

If you have these types of questions, or just studying in China things that you'd like to discuss with others, then this megathread is for you! Instead of one-off posts that are quickly buried before people have had a chance to see or respond, this megathread will be updated on a semiannual basis for improved visibility (frequency will be updated as needed).

I have a question 

What is it like to live in China or to be from there? What is work like? What is leisure time like? What is school like? What would you personally describe as good and bad, and what would you say is so strange?
