Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

Go Abroad China in Shanghai is well established in the heart of the city and I didn't expect the building to be so charming and welcoming. Since I only wanted to learn business vocabulary in Chines language, the teacher was flexible and adapted to my level really well. Staff are really friendly and helpful, they made my stay in Shanghai even more enjoyable.
