Review

The Bad This is an accurate accounting and a fair warning (not a rant) to all foreign teachers: avoid Beihang Uni (BHBH). I’ve cooled-down now, so here’s my story. I’ve taught for 10 years in 3 different Uni’s in China and never had any problems beyond the usual frustrations. After 3+ years at a Uni in the interior, worsening smog and a bit of boredom, I decided to look along China’s southern coast.

Beihang Uni in Beihai, GuangXi looked and sounded nice. I applied, even though the salary package was less than I’d made anywhere else, thinking the sea and fresh air would make-up for less money. I was instantly accepted, without an interview. I did some traveling during summer-break and told them I’d be there a week early. I arrived but no-one met me, as they’d promised. OK, I found the place myself, even though it is 10 Km out of town. I was given a tiny apartment (40 Sq. M) with only a hotplate, NO micro, NO pots or utensils. OK, I’ll get my own. I had 2 bicycles and too much stuff for the house and really didn’t like the unit, bars on windows and too-too small. I called and SMS’d several people but no-one ever replied, even after a week passed. OK, I’ll try to settle. Finally, I met the other new foreign teachers and we all gave our FEP & Passports to an HR Dept. guy, who said he’d process the Z-Visas ‘right-away’. (We all had Visas expiring in about a week) Two weeks and 1000RMB later he gave us all back our passports, with 90-day Business Visas installed! (Z-Visas are 400RMB) I was furious! I called the English school manager, a guy named Zhang, who said: “Don’t worry about it.” The HR Dept. would not return my many calls. Now, I have lived in China for 10 years and know that working on a Business Visa and renewing it every 90-days, for 1000RMB each time was a CON! Again, I asked the Visa-guy to change it. He said he was ‘too-busy now’. I could not get anyone at Beihai College to answer a direct question, ever! I repeatedly asked the English Dept. (Erica somebody) about my classes with no answers, just hand-offs. So, one the day before my contract took effect, I formally resigned, in writing, stating my grievances of NO Visa and NO response from anyone! I left the same day. I later heard from 2 other foreign teachers, who also said they had not yet received their correct Visas, even 2 months later.

My warning to you all: Just don’t do it: Beihai University: Beihai, Guangxi! They’ll tell you stories, then lie and then do some illegal thing, after they have you stuck in a contract. I’m back home in the States now, relaxing and considering a return to China. I don’t want anyone to be misled, coerced and deceived again by these untrustworthy people. You can do better elsewhere, as I’ve done for 10 years and will do again, I hope.

You have been warned !
Overall Stay away !
