== University in China ==
Requirement: a student visa. '''For comrades abroad''', simply apply for a University program and following the instructions for a student visa as per your country's agreement with China. '''If you don't have a university degree''' a student visa is your best best to get into China. You can go straight in a university undergrad program. Or you can go to a Chinese language school. These schools will help you apply for a university  I recommend applying for KCEL. It's a chinese-language only school. Useful if you want to learn some chinese as preparation for university and get your feet wet living in China.  

I was '''already in China''' on a work visa. As of Spring 2024, you must cancel your work visa and apply for a student visa. It is not possible to have both at the same time. This is easy enough to do on the same day here in China.  

I've opted instead to work another semester, put that money into some new computers and, when my work visa expires in July 2024, switch over to a student visa and go to KCEL in Kunming for a year. This should cost me about 20,000 rmb for the whole year. Little over 10,000 for tuition and the rest for housing. All schools include 3 meals a day at the school canteen as part of tuition. As an aside, when I matriculate to a full university for my masters in a year or two, all universities in China have at least 2 canteens. 1 of which is halal! Of the 55 ethnicities in China, 10 are Muslim

===Banned Material===
There's a Richard Wolff Video that was put out for the 90th anniversary of Lenin's death. Link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOulQz3a5o4
The video is blocked in the United States and I'm pretty sure Europe as well. This of course means I NEED TO SEE IT. I don't have an asian proxy at the moment so if your reading this with one, please rip the video off YouTube for me.

Update: it is banned in every single country:
