Ies Beijing: Good, Or Maybe Excellent If You Work At It

Beijing: For Those Who Cannot Contain Their Curiosity

Of Course!

Ies Beijing: Go For The Language, Stay For The Travel Opportunities

I am more open to trying new things, not just food. IES is a great program and I would recomend it to anyone. IT has reminded my of why I really want to work and travel abroad.

Beijing, The Culture Paradise

Absolutely. It was the best choice I could have made. Not only did I learn a new language, but I learned a new culture and political system through hands on means.

China. No Joke, You Can't Describe It, Or Explain It, Just Experience It.

China: Sobering But Enthralling

I could write an essay about this but I will just say that my experience was very worth while, humbling, sobering, eye-opening, enthralling, and fascinating at the same time.

Ies Beijing: Can I Go Back Now Please?

Yes. Even if I hadn't loved my program, which I did. Going abroad is an experience every student should have.

Beijing Is The Way To Go

I would honestly say that I have been transformed by my experience. The time flies by and you will not be able to see everything there is. Bars and social environments also open you up to the emerging youth scene. I look forward to returning to Beijing and China in general.

I Fell In Love In China And With China

My Journeys Through Capitalist China

My study abroad experience was extremely worthwhile. It gave me world experience, enhanced my foreign language ability, as well as gave me confidence in unfamiliar experiences.

Beijing

The experience was definitely worthwhile, but it was something that I did not fully appreciate until I was back in the United States, and I wish that I had done more with my time abroad.

Beijing: A Wonderful Place To Learn A Language And Experience An Old And Thriving Culture/

The experience was definitely worth while. I learned so much Chinese, and yet I learned so much more. I started to learn the culture. I know The Subway station and how to get around Beijing better than I do Trinity and I have been in San Antonio for two years now. I learned how to live and accept a different culture, and I reali...
