I'm thinking of taking one of my semesters, autumn 2013, in China. I would need to take something equivalent to a statistical physics course while there, but most universities with a physics degree should have that. I'm a Norwegian and will be at the end of a bachelor if that has any relevance.

Are there anyone that has any experiences studying in China.

Are there universities open to foreign exchange students that teach in english.

Are Chinese universities good? (Probably different from uni to uni.)

Will there be any visa problems?

Anyone that can recommend some universities?

I'll talk to my student advisor later about getting the credits acknowledged even though there are no exchange deals.
