Why I chose NYU Shanghai
I chose NYU Shanghai because of opportunity to be part of the diverse community, learn Chinese in the country of its origin, live in the magical city of Shanghai and study in a modern campus in classes taught by amazing professors.
Favorite spot/thing to do in Shanghai
My favorite area in Shanghai is Jing'an Temple as there's a cool mall, yummy ice cream "Mixue", place to do your nails and lots of restaurants!
Favorite quote or Advice to Applicants
Stay open-minded and give it a try even if it's something you've never considered or have never done before.
Fun fact about me
I can speak Kazakh, Russian, English, learnt a little bit of French and now completed two years of Chinese at NYUSH!
