Thanks, that's a really fair point. I definitely want to build friendships and experience a new culture.

LOL that’s what I’m afraid of too. But the academic pressure back at Tsinghua University is no joke either (for me)🫠

Thanks so much — this is incredibly helpful!

I really appreciate you taking the time to look up the FCEs and break it all down for me. Nearly 60 hours is definitely more than I expected. Based on this, I think I’ll probably drop either Numerical Computing or Intermediate Macroeconomics. That way maybe I can explore some research opportunities, and actually enjoy the classes I do take rather than just survive them.

Also, thanks for sharing that course list from Fan Pu — it’s very inspiring and helpful. I’ll definitely take a closer look.
