make sure that you have some local groupmates, it makes life more easier because they really care about the grades and you get to know their working skills and probably make up some friends. it is very interesting!
I got very bad information about the availability of courses bevore I could register for them. When I wanted to register for special courses it turned out that they were beeing held in the other semester. Hopefully this information will improve because I wasted a lot time with the lack of information.
Courses are very work intensive, 1 mid-term, 1 final test, group presentations, group projects and several individual papers are too much.
all in all I think it was a nice experiance to see how Chinese study and teach.

Personal recommendation
China is a great experience and a huge culture choc but I think it's better to go to cities taht have more of an international economical development like Shanghai.

When you study in China, there is not just the complex understanding of concepts and courses, but also the language barrier. Fortunately by the time I started I could already speak and understand some Chinese which helped me a lot because some teachers couldn't speak English even though they were supposed to; great famous teachers in their field of knowledge, but the language barrier was always there.
Go for it! It is a good experiance to study abroad, to get to know a new culture and travelling was the most important thing for me because it simply widens your horizon. The university is the best place for an exchange semester but even better for a MBA program as is ranks number 6 in the world! If I had the opportunity I would choose this university again because nobody can refund you this experiance.
