I'm studying at DUT for a year starting in a few weeks! I was wondering if anybody else on here is
either going there this year, has been there before, or knows anything about it. I am also staying
with a local family, and am a little bit concerned that it's going to be very strict. I want to go
out and have a good time, don't want a curfew at 9pm every night for example! (of course, if I
did, I'd stick to it, don't want to insult my new family!)

谢谢啊！

I am going to DUT starting a one year course this fall. If you have any questions, send me a p.m.
And good luck with your new family!

Go ahead and ask the questions here so others can see as well.

I know a teacher from DUT and she's a great teacher. If the other teachers are of the same quality
you won't have any worries in terms of classes. That alone should put your mind at ease a little.

I'm sure the classes will be fantastic at DUT, as it's quite an established course for teaching
foreigners as far as I'm aware. I wanted to go somewhere a little more original than Beijing or
Shanghai, and as I've already spent 6 months in Yunnan province, I decided Dalian was the place to
be. I've never been before, so it's a little daunting that I've chosen somewhere to live for a
year based on it's geographical location! Plus, I love being near the sea!!! (I live on an
island...)

I've been told the classes are 8am - midday Monday - Friday, and that we can also learn other
things in the afternoon. What kind of other courses can we do? Although I'd be rubbish at it, I
would like to learn calligraphy. It's so beautiful!

What is Dalian like in terms of number of foreigners? I want to fully immerse myself in Chinese
culture, and hope I don't get caught up in a maelstrom of ex-pats. Surely I can resist the urge, I
just wondered what it was like in Dalian.

Does anyone know how we pay the tuition fees? In the email, it says I need to pay 13000Y or
something like that, which is around £1000. Quite a lot to be carrying around in cash on my first
day! Do I have to pay on the first day in cash, or do they accept cheques or cards?

Anyway, I really can't wait to go (under 2 weeks!) and as I'm not going with any classmates, I
would love to get to know some people before i get there. Please feel free to send me a message
and we can talk on MSN or something.

Thank you all.

Hey all. I am in Dalian now, and going to register next week. A little bit nervous about being
here on my own, so if anybody would like to meet up, that'd be awesome!










mandarina -

Hey. I'll be coming to Dalian on Wednesday, so we could met up. Until then, keep your head up. And
tell me, what's your first impression about Dalian?










Thundercat8 -

Excellent, it will be great to meet up with you! I don't know where you will be living, though I
assume it'll be near the University. I have a Chinese mobile number I could give you on a private
message, or we could just agree on a central location and time? Whatever, I'm easy I really like
Dalian actually, it's a very modern, shiny, buzzing city, which is clean, pretty and impressive.
Very Chinese actually, I was expecting it to be more Russian/Japanese like all the guidebooks say,
but it's definitely a Chinese city!! Anyway, best of luck for your journey. Oh, and I'm certainly
keeping my head up. Don't want to miss a thing!!
