Because as a first argument i've heard great rumors about the city of Shenzhen itself but also from this university too with a great teaching staff and as I saw while doing my research a lots of courses I think it could what I was searching for in a university. And as a second argument I want to be a bit away from my familly so I can really face the difficulties and prepare to anticipate them in the future and also I think I need myself to feel responsible of my own choice and life. As a last argument I really need to speak chinese and not relying on other people then myself that's why i'm taking this course while also taking this city, to change and also become the one I want to be.
