It was definitely worthwhile, I met so many wonderful people and learned so much about myself. It was life-changing and I can take everything I learned during this time to my time in my life in America. Nhi-Jaimie P - Trinity University View Entire Review
Yes, very worthwhile. Learned a lot about the language and culture Laura M - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
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. Taylor R - Trinity University View Entire Review
Yes, absolutely incredible Lucia M - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
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. Jason I - Trinity University View Entire Review
I've come to realize how much I love the country and the culture. I am going to pursue a degree related to China and hopefully teach in the future. This semester has been rewarding on many levels for me. Di C - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review

Will definitely want to work and live in China in the future. If not permanently, for a long time. It is hard being away from home sometimes, but totally worth it! If you want to test yourself and learn about yourself, go to China! Brian S - Trinity University View Entire Review
Definitely worthwhile as it made me improve my language and make new friends. It also let me see how living life on the other side of the world is like, and made me more aware of cultural differences among others. Chae-Ri H - University of Rochester View Entire Review
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. Past all this I was able to visit places with great historical significance, experience an entirely new culture, as well as make new friends from across ...

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...

It blew my mind, was a ton of fun, taught me some cool stuff and gave me something interesting to talk about when I'm on a date. Liam F - Tulane University View Entire Review
I gained the usual from any study abroad experience. I learned to tolerate people from different cultures a little better. I also gained a good amount of friends. I went on trips to important cultural sites. And above all, my Chinese improved. What more could you ask for from a study abroad experience? Kyle S - University of Hawaii - Manoa View Entire Review
Absolutely! Not only did I improve in language, but my perspective and understanding of Chinese government, society, and people in general expanded greatly. Best experience of my life, honestly JimboJones - Tufts University View Entire Review
