    It's scary, but commit to it and give it your best!
    Especially since this is such a prestigious opportunity, literally nobody will end up regretting this. Even if you ignore the education and career part, making such a big change and committing to it, will be invaluable to building your character in life, to face challenges, to experience an opportunity that few could even dream of.
    The only important part is to not lose sight of your career goals, the pressures of which will likely hit hard once you graduate. Don't be afraid to change course if you don't see a particular path working out towards your career goals.

    Take it from someone who graduated from an Ivy (Brown), I wish I would have considered doing my undergrad abroad ... living + studying abroad will give you a global perspective + an unparalleled portfolio of personal/academic experiences that you can + could never obtain at an American university (even at an Ivy) ... more importantly, after 6 years in Beijing, you will be able to achieve near-native fluency in Mandarin + will understand China culturally like the back of yr hand ... most Americans think that their university system is the only benchmark of excellence + that is just not the case -- esp. at such an excellent institution like Beida ... IMHO, you can't go wrong studying at PKU + as an American citizen, you can always go to Cornell or UT Austin for grad school if you so choose in the future

Growing up, some of my family members, especially my mother kept saying you have to speak more Chinese...she or my dad didn't try to teach me Mandarin (because they only want me to speak Cantonese) and really didnt' even teach me to read and write Chinese characters....so, been in Canada for 46 years and i'm stuck in here, while China infrastructure is booming...and i be useless there.

    Fascinating! I taught English online to children in China for a while, and in the process my heart grew for the people in China (I actually started learning some Mandarin in order to connect with the owners of our local Chinese restaurant, haha). Personally, I would LOVE to visit China, but I would be very hesitant to do so. When I taught the children there online, I was told to be very careful broaching certain subjects with them, so that they wouldn't question what their government wanted them to believe. I certainly wouldn't want to put them in danger in any way. That being said, I would definitely be very excited about the possibility of going there! Hope you have a great experience!!

    don’t know how true this is but if you plan to pursue medical school in the U.S., AAMC recommends to complete your undergrad in the U.S. as well since sometimes the course credits taken abroad are not accepted by medical schools..

    I would take the path of convenience. If the plan is to come back to work in the US then i would stick with a US path. It just seems much easier. But if you see yourself staying overseas then a China university make more sense. Ranking of a university to me seems less important after working for a few years after graduation. Experinence becomes more important. Good luck.

    You could do the six-year medical program in China, and then transfer directly into US medical school. Call a few of the better US medical schools and see what their protocols are for that. My guess is that you would be given a fast track getting into medical school if you had already graduated a medical program in China.

    You are, in fact, making a terrible mistake. I'll give you some reasons why:
    1. Colleges are not academically rigorous in China. High schools are extremely competitive (for the wrong reasons IMO, but I digress), but college is a victory lap. People just coast through. Beijing University is basically like a public state college in the US.
    2. If you are going into medical research, you're going to be extremely underprepared. Professors and post-docs are extremely focused on their own work and aren't as interested in mentorship or teaching, so you're going to suffer immense neglect.
    3. It's going to be harder to find a job here in the US or anywhere abroad. People are going to profile you as a Chinese national. And anything that requires a security clearance is pretty much out the window.
    4. You will be able to build much more important relationships here in the US if you intend on coming back here to work. College is a time when you will be surrounded by a lot of people who will end up in a similar place in life as you.

    It kinda surprises me that you would think living or having education in the US is better than in China, especially if we talk about one of the best universities in the world. You know they've recently changed the ranking on universities with the CWTS Leiden OpenAlex Ranking and now almost all of the top 25 global universities are Chinese?
    As a white European that has no connection to US or China, I would never even hesitate. We got great universities, all free and people are much more educated in regular universities here than in the US, even when you talk about Harvard or MIT, etc. US education overall is seen as a joke in EU. I've myself watched many real classes from Harvard, MIT, Stanford and it was so basic and simple to understand that it makes me question how is it even possible. For example about quantum computing on Harvard.. and then I've watched a free CERN course on this topic as well .. and well, that got pretty hard, very quickly and into much more depth. Chinese universities are about the same difficulty as European one (Peking even harder), so you better be prepared for studying a lot.
    You know, when I was younger, I thought US is great. Then slowly all of my illusions broke the more I understood English and watched all kinds of US videos, youtubers, streamers who live there, watch their news etc. I realized the place here in Europe is much better - I mean, living is healthier, everything is cheaper, free healthcare, free education, no criminality, no drugs, etc. But to be honest, even though the life here is very comfortable, it's kinda boring. So I thought very recently about actually moving to another place, anywhere in the world and because I care a lot about advancement and tech and the most technologically advanced city in the world isn't in the US, but it is Shenzhen China (there are also other candidates like Singapore or Tokyo or Dubai, but not really as China is really ahead), that's where I'd like to move. I mean, where else you can order a drone package on a mobile app and have it be delivered in 15 minutes, be it fresh cooked food or whatever? Not mentioning all other tech sectors that US lacks behind (Europe too tbh).
    Btw, as the AI developer I must say that the future of AI is likely in China, now the US has lost almost all the lead in this industry. And medicare will need to move very fast, you'll likely have to learn a lot about AI during your classes, because doctors will be slowly replaced by that, unless they will teach you how to work with the latest AI tech. So that's another reason why to study in China, as their execution level and adaptibility speed is very fast.
    Unfortunately, you'll be living in Beijing, which is like the oldest city in China and therefore isn't very advanced compared to Shenzhen or some other cities, but it's still much safer to live in China and emotionally it can be harder for sure, because the level is way higher, but international should be way easier and also there's probably a lot of chill activities you can do there, opposite of the US, where you have a lot of hidden dangers, especially once you enter college life. So many dangers in fact, that I'd be scared of living there.

    • @eveyang362
      @eveyang362  3 місяці тому +3

      First off I just want to thank you for your thoughtful response! I definitely agree that some of the universities in china provide students with an excellent education quality that matches or even surpasses that of which is provided in the US. Although I'm not entirely sure what classes are like in us colleges, as I haven't been in them myself, I don't doubt that some of them may not provide an education and curriculum that is as difficult or rigorous as those in china or Europe. I think that's also part of the reason why I want to go to china, so that I can get a different education experience and consider the differences between education systems in different countries.
      I agree that certain aspects of the US are embellished, and it's precisely because of that embellishment that I am unsure of my decision (since it seems as if almost everyone around me that the us is better or even superior to china.) so I really appreciate your perspective. I think it's nice that you're considering moving to china, and I definitely think there's a lot of potential and fun in the country as well as in other parts of Asia! I wish you the best of luck in finding a place that you like! As for AI, it's true that china is pretty technologically advanced in that aspect, and I look forward to seeing how the healthcare system begins to incorporate it. The possibilities seem to be endless, although I do hope that doctors aren't completely replaced by AI haha
      And yes, I agree that beijing is older but definitely is very safe! I'm nervous but excited to explore the city, culture, and language while meeting new people. Thanks again for your comment and thoughts!
