If you could choose between studying in China or the Arctic circle, where would you go? (hexbear.net)

I've been offered a masters in both Beijin and the Arctic Circle and I am not sure where to go. I love nature and the masters in China would involve a lot of field trips, and the campus is situated in Huairou which has a bunch of beautiful hiking areas.

The arctic circle speaks for itself when it comes to the majesty of nature.

The arctic circle would only be for 1 year, whilst China would be for 2.

Both masters are great and interest me deeply.

I deal well with cold, but humidity gets to me. Not so much that it's a detractor, but if I had to pick a weather I'd go for cold over clammy.

I in part applied to China because it's the one country that takes climate change seriously, so having some connections there might be good.

Can you go to the arctic circle, then China? Maybe I'm out of the loop on this, but I feel like you'll only get this opportunity to go to the arctic circle, but there should be plenty of opportunities to go to China later.
