Nankai university is one of the best universities in China and a great place to improve my Chinese.

I have started studying Chinese thanks to Confucius Institute of Milan. I have never had the chance to go abroad to study apart from short periods of time. This is my first time coming to China and I fell in love with Tianjin only by watching the videos showing the city and Nankai University. I love the city background, Tianjin is a very big city with all the comforts. It is also very near to Beijing too! I am sure it is the best solution for the first experience in China.
I also would like to book in advance accommodation in The Main Campus. Living on campus would means sharing life and experience with fellow students.
