interact with not only chinese people, but people from all over the world! Allan - Middlebury College View Entire Review
It was the best experience of my life! I gained a better understanding of the Chinese culture and have gained several close friends. I also gained more confidence in myself and my abilities. A student - Oklahoma State University - Stillwater View Entire Review
Go with the flow... don't allow mishaps to ruin the program. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
My experience was absolutely worthwhile. I learned not only about the language and culture, but I learned a lot about my own culture. Being abroad helps you see yourself and your home country in a new light as well. I also made lots of amazing friends, both Chinese and international.

That dealing with people in China is extremely different than dealing with people in the Western society and it was something to get used to. James - Fudan University View Entire Review

I enjoyed my experience and would love to go back but wouldn't spend as long of a time in the city since it was so western. Karen E - St. Mary's College of Maryland View Entire Review
Because I had little/no support, I became much more independent and assertive. I managed to accidentally stumble upon aspects of the culture and people that I wouldn't have discovered otherwise. That said, it was worthwhile. Susan P - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Why are you still asking questions? Alex W - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
Excellent program; my Chinese proficiency greatly increased. Alexander H - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
Yes, I keep telling everyone the experience was amazing. After I came back from China, I was humbled by the lifestyle there. They were very efficient, and were not wasteful. Also the conditions there made me realize how lucky I am to be in America. I've listened to many Chinese citizens tell us how lucky we are to be in Amer...
