By A student (Business Administration, Xavier University) - abroad from 02/24/2014 to 03/07/2014 with
Xavier University: Asia – MBA Doing Business in Southeast Asia, Hosted by the Asia Institute
Gained better understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of doing business in China. Also gained new friendships with fellow Xavier students and Asia Institute representatives. I was very happy with the program and experience and would highly recommend it to anyone.

* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
This program is a great opportunity to learn about the business environment in China. The company visits that we did were mostly very informative and hospitable with our group. The schedule was well crafted to ensure we got the most out of our time there. The only downside was some of the company visits were cancelled and one unproductive as we spent most of the time in the lobby. The Asia Institute representatives were awesome! They were all very friendly and helpful. It was also good that they were young and energetic so they could keep up with our group. Everyone in our group were so grateful to have them with us throughout the entire trip from the moment we landed. The saddest part about going home was our departure and saying goodbye to them. |
