Guangdong University of Foreign Studies — Local services in Guangzhou City

Awful experience at this university, please pay more attention to what other students say on various platforms. I was admitted to GDUFS but decided to go to another university with higher rate and because of scholarship received. After completing refund (of a tuition fee) agreement and signing it, i haven’t still received payment it after two months. The international office ignores, responds slowly and doesn’t provide any materials and makes numerous excuses of not being able to send money back. I am now in the contact with Deparment of Education in Guandong Province and pressing charges against, because it’s been 2 months. Be careful.

I cannot make a review regarding studies there as i went to another university, but what i can rate for sure - indifference and unprofessionalism of an international office. They were responsive and replied in one day when I was enrolling, but they don’t respond at all when the action from their side (tuition refund) is needed. I am afraid they are as indifferent and careless when it comes to international students issues...

We were only 6 foreign students for the whole university that year: 2 Americans, 2 Japanese, and 2 French... The atmosphere was relaxed and studious, and the Cantonese food is just fabulous... Of course, I guess the place has changed a lot!

J'ai étudié le Mandarin à l'Institut des Langues Etrangères de Guangzhou en 1990-1991, et c'était une sacré expérience. Magnifique endroit, au milieu de la nature. Bayun Shan était très beau, très calme à l'époque. Les professeurs étaient supers, très à l'écoute. Nous étions seulement 6 étudiants étrangers pour toute l'université cette année-là : 2 américains, 2 japonais, et 2 françaises... L'atmosphère était détendue et studieuse, et la nourriture Cantonaise est juste fabuleuse... Bien sûr, j'imagine que l'endroit a...
