	Ten years ago, more than a third of all international students in China were from South Korea.

	She says: &ldquo;My experience was great; I got to meet people from all over the world, mainly from Europe and South America, but I also had the opportunity to get to know the Chinese culture and made great friendships with Chinese people.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 12.5px; font-size: 16px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word; color: rgb(73, 67, 67); font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">
	&ldquo;In my first six months, I lived with a host Chinese family in the typical&nbsp;<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">hutongs</em>, which are traditional [residential areas]. I lived with about 10 Chinese people from the same family. It was amazing as we always had dinner together and none of them spoke English so this really helped [me to] penetrate the culture.&rdquo;</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 12.5px; font-size: 16px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word; color: rgb(73, 67, 67); font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">

	Over the past 10 years, international visitors and students have been going &ldquo;deeper&rdquo; into China, choosing to travel to a wider range of cities than before.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 12.5px; font-size: 16px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word; color: rgb(73, 67, 67); font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">
	In the past, Shanghai and Beijing were the only cities where it was common to see international students.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 12.5px; font-size: 16px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word; color: rgb(73, 67, 67); font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">

	Whether you intend to secure a graduate job or continue studying at postgraduate level, the reputation of your university is important for your future prospects.</p>

	Chinese universities are increasingly well respected; the number included in major global university rankings has risen significantly over the past five years, particularly compared with the UK, which has fallen in many rankings.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 12.5px; font-size: 16px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word; color: rgb(73, 67, 67); font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">
	In 2011, there were only six Chinese universities in&nbsp;<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Times Higher Education</em>&rsquo;s World University Rankings, whereas in 2015-2016 there were 37, more than either Canada or Australia.</p>
<h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.1; color: rgb(73, 67, 67); margin-top: 25px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; font-size: 18px;">

	Financial support is an important factor in the decision to study abroad and the Chinese government is offering a wide range of funding opportunities to attract international students, including more than 40,000 scholarships at 277 institutions.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 12.5px; font-size: 16px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word; color: rgb(73, 67, 67); font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">

<h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.1; color: rgb(73, 67, 67); margin-top: 25px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; font-size: 18px;">

	As the fourth most popular destination for international travel, with nearly 12 million business trips to China in 2015, the country is growing in economic and cultural significance.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 12.5px; font-size: 16px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word; color: rgb(73, 67, 67); font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 12.5px; font-size: 16px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word; color: rgb(73, 67, 67); font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">
	Marie Rosszell, an international student at the&nbsp;University of Macau, secured a job with Google in Japan partly as a result of her international experiences. Read her blog&nbsp;here.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 12.5px; font-size: 16px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word; color: rgb(73, 67, 67); font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">
	Gracibelt Rendon, who chose to study in China to differentiate herself from others in the workplace, explains: &ldquo;There is a saying that my friends who went to university together share, which is; if you survive living in China, you can survive and be prepared to face anything in the world.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 12.5px; font-size: 16px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word; color: rgb(73, 67, 67); font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">
	&ldquo;[The experience] allows you to be an open-minded person, ready to adapt and be flexible, which at the end of the day is what every employer is looking for. Studying in China gives you experience about how things work in this part of the world and helps you to become more independent.&rdquo;</p>
