Pros
Teachers, imersion, course structure
Cons
Staff was very unhelpful and unfriendly. Tried to make me pay twice for the course and twice for my stay. They refuse to speak English with people just beginning to learn Chinese. I spent 2 entire afternoons negociating with them so they did not throw me out because I had paid 2 month in advance.
Many other students, friendly yet serious teachers, good location, beautiful campus, accommodation and many facilities on campus, etc.
Cons
I did not find any English-speaking staff on campus, which was problematic at times.
