As a Chinese American adoptee, it was so meaningful to return to China and learn more about my birth culture Sadie S - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I gained a much higher level of confidence in my Chinese speaking, reading, and writing. I also learned to be more independent, adaptable, and open-minded. It not only helped me grow academically but also personally. Yara M - University of Puerto Rico - Río Piedras View Entire Review
I learned how incredibly adaptable I am. I also learned more about my identity, especially as an American, while removed from my usual life context. I gained a much deeper level of fluency in the Chinese language. I would say the experience was worthwhile. A student - Yale University View Entire Review
I improved greatly on my vocabulary for the time being, and I had many opportunities to really practice speaking Mandarin. I also enjoyed having the freedom to explore the city outside of classes. A student - Smith College View Entire Review

I learned more about who I want to be as a person and the beauty of sharing and understanding the differences and similarities from the culture you grew up in to the culture that you have chosen to immerse yourself in. A student - Wofford College View Entire Review
Engaged in cultural exchange with Chinese students and experienced life in China. It drastically changed my view of China and life in China. It was extremely worthwhile. A student - Smith College View Entire Review
I learned that sometimes you just had to live in the moment. While abroad there are only so many things you can worry about; rather than worry just live in the moment of being abroad. It was worthwhile when I finally let go of things I couldn't control. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Lot of great real world experience. Michael Chirico - Middlebury College View Entire Review
It was worthwhile. I learned accountability, and the importance of the quality of resources someone has access to. Because my professors provided ample resources, I was able to determine solutions to challenges independently. I also was able to do so faster than if I had relied on my own understanding.

Definitely worthwhile. I gained experience and confidence in my Chinese. A student - Bennington College View Entire Review

About
As China's capital, Beijing is a large and vibrant city particularly marked by rapid economic growth. The city itself has grown tremendously and visitors and residents alike remark at its constant state of change and the contrast between the modern and the ancient. It is also the center of Chinese cultural “action,” and—since it is the capital—a place where politics is central.
Capital Normal University (CNU) is a national university that has hosted CET programs since 1982. CNU is well-known as one of the best teacher’s colleges in the city, and as such has a broad range of disciplines, including the social sciences and linguistics. With its central location and some of the most impressive facilities in the city, CNU offers an ideal home for students eager to explore Beijing.
