<p>My parent's coworker told me that at his university in China, there's a study-abroad-at-Caltech program resulting in two bachelor's degrees, one from each university.</p>
<p>Does anyone know what this Chinese university is?</p>
<p>Just curious. Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>It would almost certainly be Qinghua, IMO.</p>
<p>Lol, I should've asked him when he mentioned the program. Still, any info?</p>
<p>No info to the OP, sorry. </p>
<p>But I do have a quick, slightly off-topic question though. </p>
<p>Why is Tsinghua still spelled w' the Ts instead of the Q?</p>
<p>lol, the translating system has always puzzled me. My name has a "sh" sound in it, but it is officially spelled "hs".</p>
<p>Well, there's basically two major systems used, one for mainland china and one for taiwan. Older (people who's family immigrated here earlier) last names will also use the taiwan version. Plus, there's a scattering of odd spellings from ppl who got here before a clear syst was est. </p>
<p>I was just wondering why the mainland chinese gov still allowed the antiquated spelling instead of the one based on the syst they came up with.</p>
<p>I'm not aware of any study-abroad programs that Caltech has with the mainland, actually. I believe there's one for a university in Hong Kong. But Tsinghua? Really? I'd be surprised.</p>
