Here's a link to their website: www.dali.edu.cn/
I cannot locate the financial information. Maybe a Chinese friend can help you look more thoroughly.
there is no info on their website so i dont know how to get the info.
If anyone can help me...
ps: i don't have a chinese friend...T-T...
The only real way you will know is to email them.
There should be an international study/student department in the University.
You may need to find someone who can communicate in Chinese to help you. I know you don't have a Chinese friend.
The alternative is to email them in English and hope that someone is curious enough to pass it on to someone in the Univ who can read English.
Alternative, get a Chinese speaker to phone them on your behalf. There are people who advertise on here to be a 'Girl Friday'. Or you could advertise for one on small ads, promise to buy meals, beer, or travel expenses. This could be a start point.
Beased on information in @sen.hope's link
Interesting that there is no fixed fees. The risk is that less than 5 students sign up due to the lack of students, you are then paying 50rmb/hr.
Courses for most languages will normally run for at least 200 hours for each level. As such the 3-4 hours per day (normally m-f) for 3-4 weeks won't offer much progress. Even this scheduling is vague, course could be from 45-80 hours. Suggests scheduling of staff may be an issue.
Unless you are only looking for short course this is not a good option.
Accommodation fees seem OK but you can get the same or cheaper yourself. Any school could help with this.
An additional 50rmb per day for food (2 meals as breakfast is already provided) seems high.
To add on a management fee seems to be out of place. This is effectively an add on of 4-5 rmb/hour. Assuming they don't bill on weekends.
This course seems to be poorly designed. It looks like it is there to meet the needs of very short courses on an ad hoc basis. Perhaps travellers passing through. You could end up being a one to one student. There may also be no permanent teaching cadre for this course.
It may also be there so that the university can say they offer an international course, it does not mean that the management are interested in the course.
I would tend to opt for a course that appeared more structured, and has a fixed schedule of 4 hours/day (m-f) for a whole semester. One that offers a fixed course fee.
It looks like your options may be a university in Kunming, or a private school (with a structured course) in Dali.
Dali would be a better experience, but cost may be a factor. The quality of teaching is down the the teacher, a university does not necessarily mean better teachers.
Unless of course you are looking for a low demand course and the cultural experience. In which case Dali University may be the one to go for.
Last year they said, 6000 RMB/half year. 1,5hour lesson every day (Monday-Friday).
I think its really not cheap in Dali - but the Dali University is really pretty and the people are nice too.
But they are some other private schools in Dali, too. You can use the search feature on gokunming.com to find the schools :-) They can also offer you Student-Visa.
thanks for the answer,
i still didn't get any information ( the university is closed ) and i hope next week would be better.
@sen.hope : if it is one semester/1.5 hour for 6000RMB it is really expensive.
i think in kunming it is 6000RMB /semester for 4 hours per day.
i try to get information next week and let you know about it.
did you get some further informations? :-)
