If you prefer not to rely on your school you will do fine. Food is great, dialect is difficult. Past Review
By Eric S (Sociology., Southwest Jiaotong University) for
Southwest Jiaotong University: Chengdu - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Phenomenal, just don't expect much help from the school. If you can study hard on your own, you will love the program.
