1) Budget: China is not an expensive place to study. Accommodation fee is your main concern besides tuition.
In major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, accommodation, food and entertainment fee cost a lot
higher than second or third tier Chinese cities.

2) Climate: Obviously, southern provinces are warmer.
In fact it can be very hot and humid during summer. In
contrast, northern provinces are colder. Temperatures
during winter time may vary between -20 and 5 degrees Celsius.

3) Local Dialect: There are over 1000 local dialects in
China. Some of them are completely different from
Mandarin (Putonghua). For example, the common used language in Guangzhou is Cantonese. Foreign students can still take Mandarin learning courses in Guangzhou. However, the language you hear spoken on the streets and in the restaurants will not be same as you are learning in school.
