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.

Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
This program is horribly organized. One of the coordinators for the international program was absolutely horrible towards speaking with students when she is supposed to be an advisor helping with the integration into the environment. It was completely disrespectful and pretty much set the tone for the whole experience. |
