Being the first national institute for higher education in China, I fully believe that Peking University is already world-class university in this era. Peking University would not only provide me with excellent language program but also with various other opportunities to explore myself. Famous for its rich history and rigorous learning programs, Peking University offers studies that meet the standards of world’s top universities. Not only the studies are world class, Peking University is also known for its beautiful gardens and pagodas surrounding the campus. As I’m personally interested in history, Peking University having a rich historical context, I would be extremely delighted to attend this university. The fact that the campus for Peking University has served as the garden of the royal family during the Ming and Qing dynasty is what makes it special from other universities. As Peking University is the face of China’s advancements in the modern world, I would also like to walk alongside the forefront of China.

The reasons as to why I am choosing to study the Chinese language at Peking University is due first and foremost for the universities historical significance in China and the world. While several universities and institutions in China offer similar study opportunities, I believe studying within a prestigious university would provide me an experience like no other. Additionally, I believe studying at this university would not only provide me with a strong foundation of the Chinese language but would also provide me with an authentic Chinese cultural experience. Lastly, I believe studying in Beijing, the heartbeat of China would provide me with a positive and lasting impression on the language, culture, and country.
