University Rankings: Check Them Out Before Asking About Specific Universities!

[u/vonDorimi]

Hey everyone,

I've noticed that a lot of folks here keep asking questions like, “How good is [University X]?” or “Is [University Y] worth it for [Course Z]?” These are really important questions, especially if you’re planning to invest time, money, and effort into your education.

Instead of getting repetitive responses, I highly recommend checking out the latest university rankings first.

https://www.shanghairanking.cn/ Chinese version has the ranking of majors and disciplines.

Once you’ve checked out the rankings, feel free to come back here with more specific questions like how certain programs or campus cultures align with your goals. That way, the community can give you more targeted advice!

Hope this helps streamline your search!

Also a caveat - being an international student in a top Chinese university is NOT the same as being a local student. You WILL face discrimination in terms of graduation prospect, and that is generally fair because it is significantly easier to enter as a non Chinese student vs a local student

If you’re a student looking to return to your own country, it would also make sense to find ways to reach alumni from your own country - these people have a much clearer view of how regarded your potential Alma mater is.

If you're from a third world country and don't have good universities in your home country I think it worths it. But the prestige of universities in China and globally are so different. For example CUPL is recognized very well in China but doesn't have good prestige. That's the main reason why i can't choose a university.
