Thanks for all the advice. I am very quickly coming to realize that I might just have to take a leap of faith here and just pick a school. I have been offered a position at Jiangnan University, it meets all of my qualifications (bigger city, decent pay and accomodations) and even has some benifits (roundtrip ticket and food allowance). I have read a decent amount of bad reviews which concerns me but then again I haven't read anything good about anyone. I still want to look around a bit more but I am having difficulty finding positions for around six months. I am going to law school next fall so I cannot stay a full year. Thanks again for helping me put things in perspective better, if you have any suggestions about where to go or what to expect I would love to hear them. Thanks again!
