What they say

"I was allergic to the weather in Wuhan when I went to the Wuhan Tibet Middle School when I was 12 years old. I am now adapting very well in Beijing. I like Ali, with the most beautiful natural views in the world, maybe. I also like Beijing with the sky scrapers and modern feel."

Dechen Drolkar, 16, from Ali prefecture in northwest Tibet

"I am the class leader and I enjoy school outside of Tibet. My cousins went on the Tibet middle school program. One went to Sichuan University and end eduppretty well. My sister was a freshman at Beihang University."
