''From interacting with CUSCS students through lectures of intensive courses and summer courses, the impression is that the Japanese language ability of CUSCS students is in general remarkably high. They understand the lectures of university level without problems. They listen to the lectures with critical minds, and demonstrate interests in Japanese language, culture, and history. Students' good performance is the result of the efforts of CUSCS teaching team members, not only they do their best to enhance students' Japanese language abilities, but also make students acquire and develop the "true academic ability", hence students can proceed with confidence in any streams they have chosen after graduation.''
