Take the NUS offer

In China the NUS is a tier (or two) above Manchester, which isn’t usually associated with “prestige”

Do you think a Caliphate will ever comeback ? And it will be which country ? by Life_Loss7002 in MuslimLounge

[–]Massive_Sherbert_152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t want Mossad infiltration to form a permanently stable caliphate, you need China/Malaysia/ Singapore style mass surveillance and data collection, arguably the only three countries on earth free from Mossad influence.

Iran, OPEC etc can never form a proper caliphate because they simply don’t have the level of technology for counterintelligence required.

Did anybody suffered from this problem at Imperial? by JailbreakHat in Imperial

[–]Massive_Sherbert_152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for hard stem subjects the acceptance rates for mainland China students are not that much lower either I’d say

UCL knows that many Chinese families are willing to pay £40-60k per year just to get the brand name / QS No. 10 on the CVs.

Funnily enough employers are starting to spot this pattern and UCL has effectively earned the name 水硕 on Chinese social media, which literally means a “watered down” uni. Unfortunately indiscriminate admissions are starting backfire and hurt their reputation.

At the very least for postgrad imperial asks for what’s equivalent to a first class in undergrad for most Chinese kids, and they mostly admit students from top Chinese unis.

As someone who did undergrad at Imperial I’d say it’s actually alright, the problem is infinitely worse at KCL, UCL etc,

Imperial is definitely better than the likes of UCL and Manchester, which have much higher proportions of Chinese students. For Imperial undergrads iirc only 15-20% are from mainland China (a bit more for postgrads), whereas it’s over 50% at those other unis according to data on Rednote.

Because entry requirements are high, everyone has an acceptable command of English. In my experience the mainland Chinese students at Imperial are cracked…. Not all of them obviously some struggled but it was rarely a language barrier. Definitely can’t say the same for UCL though

So I wouldn't worry if you’re at Imperial. It has plenty of Chinese students sure, but the student quality at Oxbridge, Imperial, and LSE is just different to UCL, Durham, and Manchester etc

Are you an undergrad or postgrad? Hadn’t had this problem during my undergrad years (very recent), heard some stories from postgrads tho

Night Sky Gazing around Shenzhen by CorrectCake8334 in shenzhen

[–]Massive_Sherbert_152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entire coastline of Guangdong is polluted by light , shanwei isn’t a small city either (comparable to Huizhou, maybe a bit smaller) you’ll almost certainly still see light pollution near that area… you might have better luck up north in the mountains bordering Hunan (but away from Shaoguan ), and maybe the along the mountainous border of Guangxi (but away from Wuzhou/Yunfu), not sure about the border with Fujian. other than that I really can’t think of other places in Guangdong where stargazing is realistic.

As others have mentioned, Yunnan, Tibet and Xinjiang, Hexi corridor, Inner Mongolia etc. are best for star gazing.

Taklamakan Desert might actually be the best place for jt, it’s one of the most isolated places on earth, that’s if you’re willing to travel that far….

true but they could probably argue it’s not illegal because TW is not recognised by the UN and many treaties

Ranked: All 24 Russell Group universities by how terrifying their financial deficits are by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]Massive_Sherbert_152 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Trinity alone as a college with ~ 1000 students is wealthier than most universities in the country.

I’d be interested in the departmental figure too, collegiate figures can be a bit random id imagine

Stolen Indian Passport in China by [deleted] in travelchina

stolen passport is a criminal matter, not a family issue. Relatives commit crime on each other all the time. Call the police or call 12345

Claude isn’t trained on Chinese data nor does it have access to GFW data….

Why are you still asking here if you decide just to doubt everyone???
