I think that the most important lesson I learned was the importance of being confident and unafraid to reach out even if you know you may make a mistake. For the most part, people are very willing to chat and help you out. A student - Barnard 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.
