From everything I've ever heard about Tsinghua, they don't have short term programs - only
semester or year long options! I have heard of China Study Abroad though, talked to someone from
that program on the phone a couple weeks ago and they were really helpful - since they have so
many program options I was trying to figure out what school was best for the summer and possibly
continuing into the fall and they really helped me with that, so I am planning to apply in the
next week or two! Good luck to the rest of you figuring out what you're doing!

So last Friday I had excellent success getting through to unis on the phone (woot!). And yes the
guy in the Foreign Student Office thinks there's a short-term program run by the Chinese Language
School, but the guy there denies all knowledge of it. Still.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst (sp?) to me, my girlfriend was actually on campus on that same day making
enquiries on my behalf (bless her!)... she didn't get anywhere either altho' she did see why
people complain about how big the campus is

Then I rang BNU. Got through to someone who is a) not a fax machine, and b) speaks English.
Awesome! Their short term courses don't start till summer however and only go up to 5 weeks - so
they're out on two counts for me. But the person I spoke to was very nice and helpful so they get
bonus points for that.

So that leaves BLCU... rang them and got through easily, and fortunately they still have space in
their 12 week course. That'll do then! After all that I am going to the most obvious one, BLCU.
Just have to make sure I get out enough that I'm not always talking to waiguoren. Not that great a
feeling from overly-brusque person on phone 'tho.

OK... so guess I need to start posting in a different thread then .

btw lilac521, this is the reason I thought Tsinghua had a short-term program:

Of course, that very tempting dj.zhanjun.net website, is almost completely defunct.
