what did i learn today #8 (zhejiang edition)

(archived from 15 February 2024)
this week, we got to meet two representatives from Zhejiang Gongshang University.

Zhejiang Gongshang University is a university that is located in Hangzhou, China. it was established in 1911, making the university one of the oldest universities in china. the university also provides students with in-campus accommodation, Mandarin preparatory classes, and a wide variety of majors. these majors include business, hospitality, engineering, mathematics, IT, and even law. the university also provides different kinds of scholarships, such as a scholarship funded by the government, a general scholarship, and a scholarship for linguistic and cultural programs. their requirements weren't very high too, so i could say i would apply for the scholarship with ease.

what makes this university's offer more tempting is its tuition fee. i expected the tuition fee to be expensive with such a prestigious school. however, much to our surprise, the tuition fee is only Rp36 million a year. sounds too good to be true, right?

indeed, it was. someone looked up the alumnus reviews of this university and we found out that the university wasn't promoting active learning as it promised. it was brought up to Dr. Capri and she wasn't too happy with it. we are going to look for another university next time.
