<p>do you have to test into an international school? is getting in hard?
-Applying to international schools is similar to applying to private schools in the US. You have to send transcripts, test scores, letters of recommendation, etc. I really don’t know the acceptance rates. Here are 2 very well known schools in Beijing- Western Academy of Beijing and International School of Beijing:

<p>are you allowed to practice christianity in china?
-Yup. I’m not sure how many English speaking churches you will find but there are Chinese churches.</p>
<p>if i got a medical degree there, would it be valid in the us?
- This depends on the university it’s from. Regardless, you would have to take additional courses/exams in the US to become fully qualified. It’s also important to note that doctors w/ degrees from other countries are paid less (statistically, not in all cases).</p>
<p>how bad is the censorship there?
-no: facebook, youtube, any movies that portray China in a bad light (I think the Rush Hour movies are banned), twitter, blogging about sensitive subjects such as Tianmen Square, Skype
HOWEVER, there are services which you can pay for that can get you around the censorship so that you can use facebook, etc.</p>
<p>what are the teenagers like?
-They’re similar to teens in the US but i think they’re less rebellious IMO</p>
<p>what’s the fashion scene like?
-Many wear uniforms to school. Overall, they dress more conservatively in comparison to Americans. It’s very typical/normal for girls in the US to wear very low cut shirts, shorts that cover as much as panties, etc. Dressing like that in Beijing will get you mistaken as a prostitute (if you’re female).</p>
<p>do they listen to american singers there?
Yup</p>
