Study Abroad with University of Northern Iowa
"I feel I learned a lot about the Chinese culture through my students. If I had gone abroad just to sight see I definitely would not have learned so much. I feel like I gained a lot of insight to what it is like being a student in China. It gave me many new friends that I plan on staying in touch with. "

"Being abroad taught me get out of my comfort zone and experience the culture of another country. Talking to the locals was one of the best part of the trips.
