Hi!&nbsp; My name is Patricia, and I am thinking about spending the 2008-09 academic year studying Mandarin at Tsinghua.&nbsp; My husband will be a visiting scholar in the Electronic Engineering department, and we will be putting our daughter (who just turned 3 last week) in Tsinghua&#039;s kindergarten.&nbsp; We will be living on campus near the south gate.&nbsp; <br /><br />Since we will be living on Tsinghua&#039;s campus, and the rest of my family will be working/going to school at Tsinghua, I think it makes sense that I would study at Tsinghua too, but some people have told me I should go to BCLU.&nbsp; Any opinions here?&nbsp; (BTW - I haven&#039;t had any Mandarin classes, and most of what I know is appropriate for my 3 year old or useful little phrases friends have taught me...)<br /><br />Thanks for any advice,<br />Patricia (aka Taozi)
