This experience was so incredibly worthwhile-- I really think everyone should go. It is fascinating to see a place so different from the U.S., to see the way the school system is structured, the way shops are built, the extensive food culture of China... It made me so much more confident in myself and also very independent. I ... - Kenyon College View Entire Review
I gained confidence. Confidence I could speak another language. Confidence I could make friends with locals. Confidence I could travel away from home by myself. - Temple University View Entire Review
Every time I go back to China I learn more and more about the vast country. This time I learned more about the social nuances of the younger population. Rather than being a tourist I talked to and learned about Chinese students and what goes on in their daily lives. I learned how to ink paint and how to cook tradition dishes. I ... - Hamilton College View Entire Review

This was an incredible program! It integrated me into the culture, taught me to improve my speaking quickly and efficiently, allowed me to make friends from all over the world including China, and made me a more confident person. I had endless opportunities to practice my Chinese, friends to hang out with all day every day, and ... - Tulane University View Entire Review
Not only did I gain new language skills which have already proven useful on a campus with many Chinese exchange students, but I also gained much more self-reliance. Sometimes you will find yourself in situations where you don't know how to communicate exactly what it is you're trying to say, but the learning part comes when you... - University of Tulsa View Entire Review
I learned that I was capable of far more than I ever imagined and that I could be self sufficient in a different culture. I also felt like more than anything I learned how to learn the program. - The College of William and Mary View Entire Review

I learnt so much from my month abroad. Not only did I get a grasp of Chinese, I also gained important life experience and met some amazing people. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone! - University of Durham View Entire Review
It was definatly worth while and I gained basic Chinese knowledge and learnt about the culture of the country. - University of Exeter View Entire Review
This was without a doubt the most incredible experience of my life; it better informed my global perspective, improved my language skills, and taught me how to handle issues in ways I had never learned to before. I knew before I left that I had always wanted to become fluent in Chinese, but spending a semester in Beijing truly b... - Kenyon College View Entire Review
I gained confidence. Confidence in my Chinese speaking skills. Confidence with making new friends. Confidence I can spend time away from home. - Temple University View Entire Review
I learned to be more independent and step out of my comfort zone. The best part was the internship because I learned so much about myself, what career I want to pursue in the future, and gained a deeper understanding of Chinese culture. It was definitely a great 10 weeks spent in Shanghai. - Barnard College View Entire Review
The course gave me a very realistic insight into many topics of immediate relevance to the sustainable development of China. Yes, very worthwhile, and provided an ideal springboatrd for 3 months of work I subsequently undertook. View Entire Review
It was completely worthwhile, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I gained self-confidence, by learning how to function in completely different environments and circumstances. I made lifelong friends, and learned more than I could have imagined when I left. - Austin College View Entire Review
That in order to become fluent it will require much more dedication - Trinity University View Entire Review
I gained some teaching experience and got to experience China which was great and will influence my job search in the future - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
Our program took us from Beijing to Shanghai, to Guanzhou, to Hong Kong. It was amazing to see all of the buildings that are being built in China with the newest innovations in engineering. It was truly a unique experience. - Brigham Young University View Entire Review
I LOVE CHINA. People and strangers there are so nice, but especially the teachers. They took interest in my personal life and career opportunities. Many occasions they would invite us or come over to cook or go out to eat, very personable experience. VERY WORTHWHILE! - The College of William and Mary View Entire Review
I gained a better insight on the current events of Asia and it opened up another chapter to foreign policy, something I was not interested in before but am now interested in learning more and keeping up with. The people and culture that I was surrounded by reminded me that there is so much life and land left that needs to be exp... - University of North Texas View Entire Review
The INTO China program was definitely worthwhile. I learned a lot more Chinese than I expected to in such a short time while making new friends from all over the world. I would recommend this program to everyone! - University of Stirling View Entire Review
A student studying abroad with Study Abroad Programs in China
This trip was very worthwhile and very memorable. I learned that the world isn't just what I see at home or on the news. That it's very different when you go there and see the culture for yourself and what life means a native Chinese person. I discovered they were very diligent in there work, very warm-hearted towards others,... View Entire Review
