Student Experience

Testimonials

We have asked students in the Dual Degree Program to speak on their experience learning at Zhejiang University and living in China. Here is what they say:

"If I were to sum up my overall well-being since living in Hangzhou, it would be: great. Sure I've visited the hospital more than I wanted to and experienced heat like no man should ever experience but I still like it here. There's just simply so much you can do here, and to add to that, with so many people you can do it with."

"This is not only a dual-degree program, its also effectively a dual-major in the subjects of Computing Science and Chinese language/culture. As such, it provides a venue to acquire wherewithal both in an abstract language - i.e. mathematics/logic (via Computing Science) - and in the practical (spoken by a billion plus) human language of Mandarin Chinese. The potential range of applicability of this wherewithal in terms of future career pursuits and lifestyle options is vast.

The explosion of China onto the world economic scene demands the attention of anyone considering career options and more generally, participating in life as a 'world citizen' during the coming decades. SFU's dual degree program creates an opportunity to make a positive response to this progress. As an American citizen, I was happy to discover this option just across the border that is leading me around the world."
