Absolutely awesome. Past Review
By Caleb B (BUSINESS, MANAGEMENT, MARKETING, AND RELATED SUPPORT SERVICES., Kansas State University) - abroad from 01/02/2015 to 01/11/2015 with
Kansas State University: International Business in China, Hosted by the Asia Institute
Not only did I learn a lot about international business, but a lot about Chinese culture as well. When coordinating a study abroad program you can't go wrong with the Asia Institute.

* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
Absolutely awesome. Probably the best winter break of my life, thanks to the Asia Institute. The program coordinators were very enjoyable to be around and took excellent care of us. They went above and beyond to make our trip an amazing experience that I will never forget. During the two week program I learned more about international business than I ever could in a classroom. We visited many different companies and got to interact with their employees. Not only did I learn a lot about international business, but a lot about Chinese culture as well.
