What about Dalian International Studies University? How about the French department? What are the advantages?

There are two French departments in China, which are far from those in Beijing and Shanghai. The proportion of students in the province is extremely high, the competition is not fierce, and the teachers are not good. If your grades are good, it is recommended to take the above two schools, otherwise you will regret coming to Shanghai. Please trust the advice of people who have had this experience.

The advantage is that students from Beijing Foreign Studies University don't have to go to Africa, while students from the French Department of Shanghai International Studies University have the "opportunity" to go to Africa.
