Yuxi Normal University is home to 8,000 Chinese university students who come from both the largest of China's mega-cities to some of the most remote mountain villages on the planet.

     YNU began opening its doors to International Students 20 years ago as an attempt to not only develop an elite Chinese language program, but to also give their Chinese students an opportunity to meet and interact with other students and professionals from around the world.

    What began as a single student studying from their campus apartment with a private tutor has now developed into one of China's top study abroad programs.
