Nice to meet you! Southwest Petroleum University

In the new semester, our new-comers-- the international students --- started their campus life in Southwest Petroleum University and began to learn Chinese culture and expert knowledge. Some of them received our interview and what do they think of China and Southwest Petroleum University?

Ella, from Kazan (Volga region) Federal University

My Chinese has improved a lot since I studied in Southwest Petroleum University, and I feel delighted to come back. Places of historic interest, parks, cultural activities, and also the spiciest food...everything I experienced in Chengdu and Southwest Petroleum University left a deep impression on me. Next, I plan to take the HSK Examination and prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination in China.

I chose to study abroad in Southwest Petroleum University for its unique characteristics in Petroleum Engineering. I fell in love with Chengdu and Southwest Petroleum University immediately when I arrived here, because food in Sichuan was marvelous! Study hard, live a happy life, and also enjoy the delicious food!

Teachers in Office of International Affairs helped me sincerely when I applied for my visa and and gave me advice via Wechat and Internet before I came to Southwest Petroleum University.

It’s so large! So beautiful! I fell in love with Southwest Petroleum University once I arrived here. China is much better than I thought, and it is an attractive country. I will study hard to learn Chinese well, learn more about Chinese culture and make more Chinese friends.

ALIEU KAMARA, from Sierra Leone, majoring in Chemical Engineering and Technology

I can’t wait! I hope to begin my study in Southwest Petroleum University as soon as possible. I have learned that there were many differences in classes between China and my country for culture differences. My parents encouraged me to study in China, and I wish I can adapt to my new life here and learn more Chinese culture. I believe I can make it and won’t let my parents down!

My Chinese name is Gu Dalong. I have studied Chinese before, and Southwest Petroleum University is attractive for me. Food, basketball, football...everything seems excellent! I wish I can make more Chinese friends, especially those who share the same interests with me (like basketball)!
