The amount of Chinese student here that do not speak english is beyond me….

This was probably the thing that surprised me the most about the uni and not in a good way.

And I really can’t believe that the uni is not doing anything about this, I am an exchange student and the uni was very VERY pushy that I needed to provide a certificate to prove that I could speak “proper” english, knowing this I do not understand how can there be students here that do not speak english.

They literally discuss in chinese in the classes, translate every single thing to chinese with some app, play games with headphones at every class and sit there for two hours without saying a single word.

I have a seminar on Tuesday that is approximately 99% people from China and then me and that seminars is a complete waste of time since even when we get our assignments they do not discuss anything since they don’t speak english and stay quite the whole hour or when they finally speak, they speak chinese between them and I’m completely left out because of this I stopped going to the seminars and it was apparently a good decision since I got 78% grade on an essay for this class that is 50% of the final grade.

Was anybody also shocked by this?

Edit: Forgot the s in the title (studentS) 😂
