There are hundreds if not thousand places you can get scholarship to study mandarin, why come to this shit place?

The local teachers teaching you are at their 40's-50's and they are using the out-fashioned rigid way to teach. I've not seen any one improves their Mandarin significantly after staying here. You will see a few Russians, 10 plus Cambodians and Indonesians as foreign students coming to learn Mandarin, that's all. All of them are here for the free scholarships, had the college not providing this...no one will ever come for sure.

I'm finishing my contract as a foreign teacher here and I strongly urge anyone who wishes to come here either to work or to study...please stay clear of this college. China is so huge, why choose this remote college with lousy management? Find a better college, it's not hard. Also, this college is very crampy...it claims to have an area of 600 Mu (6 Mu= 1 acre). But this claim is misleading because they are counting in the bush opposite the college as a compound. That patch of land is indeed designated by the government as college's boundary, but what's the point if it is thick bush with no access? The real area is 60% of what they claimed...So, you need to strectch your imagination how 6000+ students and 300+teachers with their families..making it easily 7000 people living in an area of 60acres. Thus, every where you turn you'll see buildings..and you'll just bump in with your students all the time...for everyone just live in such a close proximity. Also noise pollution is a BIG BIG matter here..local honk non stop when riding motorbike or driving car...crazy.

For foreigners who consider to work here, let me write down the exact clause the management always manipulate.

Article 3. Job Adjustment
Party A (college) has the right to adjust the job responsibilities of Party B (you) according to Party A's needs and Party B's capabilities and performance, to which Party B should agrees.

So, when an English Oral teacher flees...this guy will call you and ask you to teach English, despite you signed a contract of other language. When you refused, he will say you signed the contract of 16 periods and the Article 3 says....So, you are only safe, if you don't no English or very lousy English. Otherwise, you risk being trapped by this clause.

Plenty folks have wrote down their experiences working here, if you still decide to come, fingers-crossed.....really need the best of luck.
