"My experience was amazing and I learned a lot, was fortunate to meet many new lifelong friends as well."

Sean Bafan, student from USA

Classes were good, although at times they were challenging in the sense that we had new teachers depending on class size, and that took getting used to. At times, this was a weekly occurrence and would disrupt class flow. The teachers were wonderful; they had a great understanding of the Chinese culture and were great friends, aside from just being "teachers". The school and living accommodations were located close to each other and very convenient for students.
