Are most of Inner Mongolia taught in Putonghua? I am a candidate from Liaoning. I wonder if all the students in Inner Mongolia are here. Do they communicate in Mandarin or Mongolian?

In Inner Mongolia, universities will be divided into Chinese classes and Mongolian classes. Chinese classes are generally taught in standard Mandarin, while Mongolian classes are taught in Mongolian.

Because candidates in Inner Mongolia generally use Mongolian in their daily lives, there will be some students from Inner Mongolia in universities, whether in Chinese or Mongolian classes. However, the specific proportion will vary from school to school and from major to major.

In universities, it is very common to communicate in Mandarin, especially for students in Chinese-taught classes. Therefore, even in universities in Inner Mongolia, Mandarin is one of the main communication languages among students. Of course, in some cases, such as communicating with Mongolian students, or in specific cultural activities, Mongolian may be used for communication.

In short, if you are a candidate from Liaoning and enter a university in Inner Mongolia, you may meet some students from Inner Mongolia who communicate in Mongolian. However, in Chinese-taught classes, standard Mandarin is usually used for teaching, and Mandarin is also one of the most important communication languages in the whole campus culture.
