Accmmadation
Not only has YNU been teaching Chinese to students from every corner of the globe for over 20 years now, but we have also been helping students from every walk of life achieve their Chinese learning goals as well. Our students have ranged from backpackers who wanted to extend their time in China to business professionals looking to master the language. We have even developed partnerships with universities around the world to provide Chinese internships for their students. As a result, we realize that one curriculum will not satisfy every student's or organization's needs. Consequently, in addition to our excellent base curriculum, we also offer fully customizable courses to meet your or your organization's individual learning goals.
In addition to our Chinese language instruction, our students have a wealth of other areas in which the can study. Not only can they study typical electives found at most Chinese study abroad programs such as Chinese martial arts, Chinese cooking and calligraphy, our students are actually encouraged to pursue any area in which they are interested in. Our staff will do our very best to accommodate their requests.
One other option not available at many of the independent study abroad programs available in China today is that, because we are an actual university, our students are also welcome to pursue a degree from YNU if they so choose.
What housing options are there?
YNU offers students 4 housing options.
- Fully furnished 1 Bedroom apartment.
- Fully furnished 3 bedroom apartment.
- Share a dorm room with 3 Chinese roomates.
- Live off campus after your first year of study.
