Learning Mandarin in University
By Lainey | November 24, 2007
There are many places to learn Mandarin in Shanghai. You can study in a University or a language school. Here are some popular University options:
By the indoor park inside Shanghai Jiao Tong University
This is where I went! Right in the city center of Shanghai, so very convenient location especially if you also want to experience living in the heart of Shanghai. This is also where several notable political and sports figures went like Jiang Zemin and Yao Ming the NBA basketball player. You can choose to take any of the following Mandarin language programs:
1. Short-Term Mandarin course: This is often held every Summer, during the month of July. This is only for 1 month.
2. Long-Term Mandaring course: This is for 6 months, available in both semesters of the school year. SJTU follows the American school year calendar, with semesters starting every September and February.

The location of this school is quite far, so if you study here, you would really only be moving around this area. However, the school is known to be among the best in China, having science affiliations to western schools like Yale University.
Shanghai International Studies University (SISU)
I don’t know much about SISU except that it is quite a long commute from the Shanghai city center.
