I learnt about how university education in China. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Not much, but I did gain some friendships and some knowledge so it is worthwhile. A student - Fudan University View Entire Review
I got to see China A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I loved being in Shanghai and experiencing the every day life there. Improved my Chinese a lot, made many friends, and learned so much more by being there than I would have in a classroom. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I gained some basic knowledge of the Chinese language and some knowledge of Chinese culture as well. This experience was most definitely worthwhile. Gianna Gronowski - Rollins College View Entire Review
What I really wanted to gain from this study abroad experience (as I had already studied abroad before) was the ability to really ingrain myself in one place for a semester and feel that I really assimilated to an area. I wanted to really get to know my local neighborhood and the people and the culture in it. The TEAN program re... Elizabeth Chung - University of Virginia View Entire Review
Studying abroad in Shanghai was one of the most thrilling and valuable experiences of my life. Living in Shanghai challenged me to step outside my comfort zone and explore somewhere new. I had the opportunity to study at one of the top universities in China, practice my Mandarin on a daily basis, immerse myself in a completely d...

I've seen so much China and learned so much about its culture. It was the right balance between chill and "yes you're still in school". Honestly the experience is what you make of it. Rosanne H - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I get to see a different side of life. It was worth it. Daniella Koroma - University of Hartford View Entire Review
I learned how to adjust with new living conditions in a totally new culture all on my own. At Fudan, I was pushed to work outside my comfort zone by working with groups of people from around the world who were also from different cultures. I had to learn how transportation and street etiquette in China works. Frederick Brown - University of North Carolina - Charlotte / UNCC View Entire Review
I learned so much about the Chines culture and got to visit so many different places with TEAN but also on my own. It was definitely worthwhile. I expanded my Chinese and got hooked on exploring another country and its culture Katharina G - Iowa State University View Entire Review
I gained a wider perspective of the world we live in and how we should always put ourselves out of our comfort zone in order to challenge ourselves. It honestly is the most rewarding thing one could do. Daniel P - Manhattan College View Entire Review
I used to be one who would freak out when Im lost. On this trip I learned how to pay closer attention to my instincts, and out of all of the times I was lost exploring my way around China, I was able to witness and experience wonderful things that I probably would have missed out on if I sticked to the path. Ling L - University of Massachusetts - Boston View Entire Review
I learned that Shanghainese food is so tasty. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
From this experience I was able to learn a lot more about myself than I had already known. I learned how to be flexible when language barrier issues occurred and how to be comfortable with the uncomfortable. Being able to learn and practice the language in the region itself is an experience that is unforgettable. It really allow... Stephanie - San Diego State University View Entire Review
Before the program I was unsure if I would want to work in China, but after living there, it is the place I want to be. I enhanced my mandarin skills, I made friends that will be life long friends, I had opportunities that I never wouldve gotten, and I grew into a person I am proud of. Mei S - Pace University View Entire Review
I was able to gain a new perspective on various subjects thanks to my professors, begin learning a new language, and acquire experience in what it's like to study, work, and live abroad. It was absolutely worthwhile. A student - DePaul University View Entire Review
I seriously improved my Chinese just by living in China for the fall semester. Not only was I more independent and creative getting around, I did so in Chinese. Many students speak English, but in almost all social interactions off campus, Chinese is the "Lingua Franca". It was worthwhile. Jesse Paul - Berea College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about the global economy and cultural differences between Eastern and Western societies. I was able to meet people from all over the word and the country and learn things I never would have if I hadn't left my home university. Claire Arakaki - Saint Mary's College of California View Entire Review
What living in Shanghai was like Phila Li - Texas A&M University - College Station View Entire Review
The experience is so worthwhile, especially as a Marketing major because it broadened my horizons on international marketing and advertising. I became more independent and confident from studying abroad. I learned so much more Chinese in China than I would have at my home university! Esther Kim - Simmons College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about China, and its history. I really was able to gain a conceptual understanding of all of the influences in Shanghai, due to the amount of expats that live there. Alex - Simmons College View Entire Review
First of all, thanks to TEAN I got to meet and befriended with 14 amazing souls who are now will be my life long friends. Overall, it does feel good to proudly say that I have studied and lived in Shanghai, China all by myself with minimal knowledge of its language. Everyday was a new day for me and everyday I learned at least 3... Chan Thai - Pace University View Entire Review
Learn a lot about a different continent and culture. A student - Saint Mary's College of California View Entire Review
I learned a lot about chinese culture and other cultures I interacted with during my time abroad. I felt myself grow as a person from the start of the program and now. Loveabroad1 - Kean University View Entire Review
