Personally, I think it would be more straight-forward to understand education system overseas(in North America specifically) as a corporation to serves students. If you really like studying but find it a little difficult to get an offer from top universities in China, apply for an university overseas. Foreign Universities' "Core Business" is to serve students for studying and research. You will be offered with a perfect environment to grab something into your brain - peaceful, passinate and quiet environment and infinite amount of resources. After graudation, no matter you go back to your home country or not, your university memory will keep you company for the rest of your life, hopefully =P. But, please keep in mind, you will be kinda "over-proteced" by your university. Ironically, students can graduate with A+ GPA and Dean's Honor Degree but superficial understanding of the complexity of society and career, as universities serve them so well and do almost everything other than study for them. Also, I have to admit there is a certain group of students, they are paying hundred-thousdands of dollors only in exchange for a shining degree to put into their profile. Getting admitted by universities with good reputation and high rankings is much easier in North America than in China. So if a degree from Ivy League is very important for you to build your resume, then studing abroad may be a good choice.

This was really a great idea. I hope it won't too late for me to find this place. I am looking forward to sharing and collecting information with folks in the forum.

This is a good idea. i will come here frequently to learn.

Good idea      

use english of high quality to confer your thought with structure

our english is so simple.

OK.  It's a good idea. I appreciate your suggestion and wish you success.

look look

When the moderator brought this brilliant idea up, people start to leave messages in English, which helps everyone a lot to express our ideas in another language. The purpose of reviewing this forum is learning something useful, and it does.
For living aboard, my suggestion is try your best to speak the native language as much as possible and try to make friends with local people. When you open your heart to others, they will open their doors to you as well.
Don't be shy, let us try!

I am preparing to apply the master of Hongkong University and maybe American Universities in order to experience more.

It's a great opportunity to communicate with others by English. I hope I could make some friends here and have good memory. Thanks a lot~

I am also a student studying abroad in the USA. I really like this website, it is an excellent place for sharing good resources. I am looking for some information about applying Econ Phd in the USA. Is there anyone wanna share some personal experience with me? I am very glad and appreciate to talk. Thanks.

Your suggestion is very good, I give my support to you! let us work hard together!

Which university I should choose to pursue my postgraduate study, University of Sydney(USYD) or Northeastern University(NEU)?

The program of USYD is master of commerce(Business Analytics), and the program of NEU is called master in Analytics. Actually I want to go to NEU cuz I think US has the best financial system and environment. However, the program in NEU belongs to the College of Professional Studies, which sounds not that great in CN, especially I am determined to come back work in CN.  

Plz help me

Hhhha,follow your heart and let your inner mind and thoughts lead to make a unregretful desicion cuz we always can not know which way is the best.

It's a good idea. When we apply for some famous universities abroad, we often don't know how to write an application. Through this platform, we can get some useful suggestions by communicating with others.

Anyway, to me, it is a great way of earning perks, thanks a lot.

Dear Professor ###: I am very sorry to bother you and send this e-mail, but I really wish to contact you.

Ok, Let's commmunicate in English to share information in overseas study.

Depending on what ur subject is, studying abroad may influence ur carrier variously. Myself, for example, the actual knowledge I got is not that necessary, just few chapters in the book. But the trainee experience, the spirit of academic and studying method weigh much more. For others, it might be another story.

谢谢分享

Yeah, I'll take it as my first step to get used to the English contexts.
