What the Top 0.01% Chinese Students Do In A Day

Chinese students are known for their study habits…so what do the top Chinese students do in a day? I studied at Tsinghua University 清华大学 which has a 0.01% acceptance rate and is considered the top university in China. I'll walk you through a day in my life as a Chinese university student.

To get into university, students in China must take a standardized entrance exam called the GaoKao. This is similar to the SAT, but harder. The top Chinese students study over 12 hours each day, and sleep is often a second thought. Homework is guaranteed every after long night classes. The top students in China have insane discipline and study habits. Growing up in that environment is stressful and tiring. Education is highly valued in China, and there are over a billion people, so it's competitive. It's just the way society functions. If you're living outside of China, I'd like you to take a second to appreciate your free time. You have time to watch my KZbin videos! Don't waste your freedom. Go do something good. #china #chinesestudents #清华大学
Sincerely,
Hafu Guo

[@nuage9727]

That's late. I'm my school students wake up at 4am, some 5am some 3am( so they can get hot water). Because move out is by 6 and breakfast is by 6:30. If your late you get locked in hostel and no breakfast(same applies for dinner, but not lunch). It is a boarding and day school ( I know this because I was a boarder from 7th-10th grade but I've been a day since last year)

[@Liuhuayue]

@@milkyway6021 Lol, that's sickeningly strict.

[@Liuhuayue]

@@nuage9727 That's very strange to me. 3 AM? That's when I go to bed some days. Edit: I did have to wake up earlier for high school (still not 3 AM though unless I had to work on a project before school), but university is generally far less stringent in terms of scheduling from what I know. I'm talking about university, not high school. You seem to be talking about a regimented high school.

[@Liuhuayue]

@K M I kind of understand that; I used to have to wake up early to do animal care chores. It's still an unusually early rise for most people, though.

In italy university student do the same. Just we don't wake up at 5:45

[@elaineen1]

I was told for every 1 hour of class you have 2 hours of study. I assume they do most of the class work in the class room. My classes were 1 hour, three times a week with about 3 classes MWF. On Tu&Th my 2 or 3 classes were 1.5 hours long. We had the option of learning outside the class room and independently budgeting our time. Such makes for a more well rounded person who can handle responsibility independently.

[@zetlander8265]

I feel like there’s a lack of learning how to work aside to university here. For example: I do 2 days-3 days work a week to also get practical experience aside to my studies.
