... Why China? Just cause your dad has friends there? That's a terrible reason =/. If you're not going to study a specific thing in China that has direct benefits from being in China then don't go. If all you want is to be immersed in some "asian" culture for some time, don't go. You can always study abroad/exchange for one or two years if you really like it. Unless you can tell yourself RIGHT now that you want to live in China for the next 10 years (job after college) or so there is no reason to go there for your education because frankly, most Chinese people would attend college outside China rather than attend inside China.

/If you really want to do China, why Shanghai? Anecdotal experience and all but my gf is shanghainese and they're the most moneygrubbing, fake, assholes I've met. At least consider Beijing (not the least because it has more international students) or HK.

One of these is not like the others

Yup. Only one gives you the ability of going somewhere where the legal drinking age is 18 with a relatively short walk/taxi/bus ride. That's definitely the better one to go to.

This is a terrible idea unless you have some kind of huge asian girl fetish.

NO COMPANY outside of China will hire your if you ever leave China. Even companies in China will give you a hard time.

Why not apply to Canadian/US universities? Please explore your options before going to China - it's not the best place to get a post-secondary education.
