Reasons from Reasons from M**********************************
When considering universities to apply to the two most important factors for me were (i) the course start date and (ii) city. It was important to me to start the course in late spring so that I could make quick progress during the gap year I am currently taking. Shanghai was a natural choice as it is one of Chinas most vibrant cities with a vibrant cultural infrastructure.
