Best to learn Chinese Language

BLCU is hands down, the best university to apply for anything related with Chinese language and culture, the level is the highest in this. The university is located in the WUDAOKOU area, a very big student zone of Beijing. The only problem with BLCU is the dorms, they have a terrible quality, during my studies there I had to rent an apartment with my friends, because living with the dorm was impossible
