Victoria, one battle you will face in Shanghai is that so many people speak English. To maximize your Mandarin study time, DO NOT LET THEM SPEAK ENGLISH TO YOU AND DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH WITH THEM!! You will be tempted to fall into English and will have to fight this urge at every turn. Stay away from any lazy American or European classmates you have in your langauge study class that will want to break the language school code of ethics of not speaking English with each other. Throw down the guantlet and really, really go for it. Jiao Tong is also a good school. Yes, good point, Kerry.

Everyone I met spoke English fairly well so communicating with the students should not be difficult. You may find that some students will ask you to proof read their composition and depressingly realize that their grammar is better.

It will be interesting to see the differences in the universities, as well as between American universities and Chinese universities. There will be more variety in backgrounds of people so it will be interesting. I will keep you updated as my learning progresses.
