This trip is a whirlwind of culture and good memories. It is also language boot camp. Applicants should be eager to improve their skills and be willing to work hard. The best thing however is that your hard work is earning you possibly the most credits you can get for your money. You don't have much time to poke around by yourself. so If a tour is what you are looking for, look elsewhere. All professors are native speakers, and they are usually v... Read more
Definitely worth it! 15 credits in 4 weeks, and my Chinese improved a lot! Just don't take this if you're looking for an easy vacation. It's a lot of fun, but a lot of work! Read more

WWU Faculty Led Program: Chinese Language and CultureStudying In China
Reviewed by Geza Palotasstudent on .
I definitely learned a lot on this study abroad trip, my Chinese has improved and I am much better at reading and writing. I also learned a lot about Chinese culture, I think I experienced a bit of culture shock while I was there and even when I came home. My only complaints were that not all of our meals were covered. Some of the dorms we stayed in were not very clean and we ran into several problems like not having electricity or hot water. Read more
The program was a little unorganized at times, but overall, it was a wonderful experience and my Chinese Language skills improved tremendously. I had two favorite aspects from this study abroad experience; the first was visiting sites of cultural importance, and the second was having one-on-one time with Chinese graduate students. Read more

This course was, once again, completely worth my time and money. I made great friends, improved my Chinese, and got a ton of credits! 15 to be exact. I highly recommend it to anyone in the Chinese program. I don't think you'll find a comparable trip. Read more

The program was excellent, and delivered academically in every way it promised. There were some disappointing moments in terms of staff and living conditions during certain portions of the trip, but on the whole I would say it was worth the money. Read more
Although there were a few things that I would have changed, overall the trip was entirely worth the $5000+ dollars. We earned 15 credits that we definitely had to work very hard for. It's not easy, that's for sure. But the amount of knowledge I gained and the sites I got to see could not be bought. We got to see some towns and areas that I most likely would never have gone to or known about had I traveled on my own. I definitely suggest this trip... Read more
This program is AMAZING! I'm going a second time! It's 15 credits in 4 weeks; 1 in Bejing and 3 in Kunming. We speak Chinese the entire time and become completely immersed! If you want to perfect your Chinese and have the time of your life - go on this trip!! Read more
