DAY IN THE LIFE

MORNING

I wake up early to go jogging around the

campus. Then I usually go to a small spot

opposite the lake that has roses, where I like

to sit in the morning just to think. When I

arrive back at the dorms I do some stretching

and cooling off in the garden just outside the

dormitory. On days I don’t have classes, I go

for badminton a little later in the morning or

on Sunday to church.

If I have a class, I go back to my room to

shower, get dressed and check the news to

see what is happening in the world, then

head to my classroom. After my first class,

I come back and eat a snack or fruit or

something that I bought in the market on the

walk back to my dorm. If I have another class

soon after, I head back to the classrooms but

if I have a longer break I have a quick nap in

my room.

AFTERNOON

After all my classes are finished, I have lunch.

I like to get rice with vegetables and chicken

in the canteen. After, I relax in my room and

try to do some assignments and reading.

Sometimes I also stay after class to use the

on-campus Wi-Fi and study in the classrooms

instead of my room. On weekends, I go

downtown to the shopping street and

explore with my roommate or other new

friends I’ve made here.

I go to the large gym on campus from

6.30pm to 8.30pm and use the treadmill and

bike among others. The facility is nice and

membership is very inexpensive. I’m glad the

gym is nice and there is a way to stay fit and

be healthy while studying here.

EVENING

Once I get back to my room for the evening, I

make sure to finish my schoolwork and then

I like to watch sitcoms with my roommate,

or watch CCTV on the television in our dorm

room. There are lots of places to eat dinner

but I’ve been preparing many meals in my

room, cooking my own rice or sometimes I go

to other Nigerian friends’ apartments and we

will prepare foods from our home together.

STUDY ABROAD CONSISTENTLY RANKS AS ONE OF THE TOP THINGS THAT EMPLOYERS LOOK FOR.

EXPANDING ECONOMY

China’s economy is growing very quickly with new job and

investment opportunities being created every year. Tianjin’s GDP is

the fastest growing in China (around 16% per year) and there are

new foreign companies setting up and investing here every month.

The vast number of firms opening in China in recent years means

that there is a great chance to find work here after graduation. The

continued investment and expansion will also provide plenty of space

for career development and promotion in the future.

LANGUAGE SKILLS

Studying abroad means you can often pick up the language very

quickly. Within a couple of months you will have learnt the basics

and if you work hard, within a year you should be able to hold a

decent conversation in the mother tongue of one fifth of the world’s

population.

A foreigner who can communicate well in Chinese is still very

rare and will make you stand out above of all other ‘wai guo ren’

(foreigners) trying to do business in China.

BUSINESS SKILLS

The Chinese are well known for their tough negotiation skills and

agile business minds. If you become familiar with Chinese business

practice, you will have the business skills to cope in business

environments all over the world.

GUANXI (NETWORKING)

It is possible to find work in China from abroad, but job websites

are not the usual way that Chinese people look for work. If you are

considering working in China in the future, living in China will ensure

building strong ‘guanxi’.

While you are a student in China, you will have time to make many

friends and get to know your professors (a professor’s pay is

relatively modest, so many have consultancy projects or businesses

on the side). Building these friendships not only creates a personal

relationship, but also a potential business relationship. If a position

comes up that you may be right for, many Chinese people would

rather give the position to a friend of a friend, whom they trust,

rather than to put out a job advert.

Masterclasses will take place during your China experience.

Professionals from the foreign business community, including

insight into what it is like to work in China. Your future networks will

develop as you learn more about working, living and doing business

In 2012 and 2013, a wide range of international and Chinese

companies, covering subjects ranging from diplomacy and education,

to civil rights, finance and hospitality, delivered masterclasses.

Speakers included:

• Danil Kerimi from the World Economic Forum – ‘The

HOW TO APPLY

APPLYING FOR YOUR CHINESE STUDENT VISA

INTO CHINA 31

MORNING

I get up, take a shower and go out to

get something for breakfast. I usually

grab some food at the Nankai University

market, which is on the way to the School

of Economics where we have our classes.

My favourite breakfast food is one of the

Tianjin specialities – baozi – steamed buns

with various delicious fillings. When it’s

colder, I eat inside the market, but when it

gets warmer I always eat in the park by our

teaching building.

There are always some students studying

and locals practising traditional Chinese arts

– “people watching” in China is really fun!

After breakfast I head to the classroom and

do some reading before I have my first class

of the day.

Our classes last for an hour and a half, but

we take a short break after 45 minutes.

AFTERNOON

After class I meet some friends to go for

lunch. Lunch time is when I usually go to

the student canteen, because not only is it

cheap and the food good, but it’s also very

convenient. Plus I tend to bump into people

I haven’t seen for a while when I’m there.

After I’m done eating, I go to my favourite

café with really fast internet to do some

work. The afternoon classes start. I normally

have two classes with short breaks in the

middle of each class. We also have a half an

hour break in between the two courses.

EVENING

After I’m finished with classes for the day,

I meet some friends for dinner. Different

from lunch, we almost always get more

adventurous and go to one of the family-run

restaurants in the south-western part of the

University. I really like the very simple and

authentic atmosphere of these restaurants

and they serve delicious home-cooked meals

from all over China!

I get back home and do some more studying.

I work on the readings and assignments we

have to do for my major and then I usually

study Chinese for a few hours. I prefer

working in the evenings, so going to bed

at midnight is not unusual for me.
