Have someone live near with Sunyatsen University or Zhongsan daxue in Guangzhou?

Hi Everyone,
I am a prospective exchange student who is still wondering where to go next year in order to attend intensive Mandarin classes...
I actually like the Cantonese speaking area, but said to myself it would be better to go to Guangzhou rather than HK as Guangzhou also speaks Mandarin.

Therefore, i have the opportunity to go to Zhongshan (Sun Yat-Sen) University for a one-year

I need to ask the ppl here if

- anyone has ever studied Mandarin there?
-If yes, how were the classes, how much did your Mandarin improve?
-HOW MANY HOURS OF MANDARIN A WEEK DID YOU HAVE?
-were you allowed to attend classes together with chinese local students once an appropriate level of Mandarin reached?
-were you allowed to sleep in the same dormitories as the local students?
-were you allowed to take some optional Cantonese classes?


give me your general impression on this experience of studying in Zhongshan GZ
Thank you for your help. Xiexie
