Aboobacker Jahufer from Sri Lanka
Doctoral student in Statistics
"I'll be staying here for four years working for a doctoral degree in statistics, though this first year I'm mainly studying Chinese. But from the very first month after I arrived here, Prof. Chen Jianbao of the Department of Statistics has met me each week and given me academic guidance in English. I believe I will benefit greatly from my four years at Xiamen University.
Xiamen University and the city of Xiamen are both delightful and very beautiful, and the citizens are very friendly. The professors and staff of the Department of Statistics in the School of Economics are totally committed to their work and particularly friendly to overseas students.
The Chinese people are very keen and helpful towards others, especially foreigners. Within a single month I made a number of Chinese friends at the English Corner, who have been so nice as to show me around the campus and the city and made me fall in love with the life here. I'm very happy that Xiada accepted my application."
