Go Abroad China

The program provided exactly what I was looking for — a real chance to improve my Chinese in an immersive environment. The university classes were high-quality, and the homestay gave me daily exposure to the language and culture. My host family was kind and welcoming, and I picked up useful expressions just from conversations at the dinner table.

The weekend trips and cultural events were also well-organized and added a lot of fun to the experience. My only suggestion would be to offer a bit more flexibility in class schedules or options for students at different levels. Still, overall, this was a rewarding and unforgettable experience that significantly boosted my language skills.

Taking a gap year with Go Abroad China was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I got to intern, learn Chinese, and volunteer — all in one program! The structure was flexible, the activities were well-organized, and the cultural immersion was authentic and eye-opening.

I especially loved the language classes combined with the homestay option, which helped me pick up Mandarin faster than I expected. The team was always available to support us, from airport pickup to weekend excursions. It didn’t just feel like a program — it felt like joining a community.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore China in a meaningful and rewarding way!

My internship experience in China through this program was incredibly valuable for my personal and professional growth. Being placed in a Fortune 500 company gave me real-world exposure to international business culture, and I gained hands-on experience that will definitely help my future career. The support from the Go Abroad China staff was responsive, and the orientation week helped me settle in comfortably.

There were a few minor challenges with communication during the initial placement process, and I wish there had been a bit more flexibility in choosing departments. That said, once the internship started, everything went smoothly, and I felt supported throughout my stay. Overall, I would recommend this program to anyone looking to build their resume while experiencing life in China!

Joining the Learn Chinese at China's Top University with Homestay program was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The classes were well-structured and taught by passionate instructors who really cared about our progress. But what made it truly special was the homestay. Living with a local family helped me practice Mandarin every day and gave me insight into real Chinese life—something no textbook can teach. The balance of academics, cultural excursions, and support from the program staff made me feel safe, inspired, and constantly learning. I came to China nervous and left with a new language, a second family, and unforgettable memories.

As a high school student, going to China with GoAbroadChina was my first time abroad. I was nervous at first, but I quickly made friends and felt at home. We studied Chinese in the mornings and did cultural activities in the afternoons. I learned how to write Chinese characters and even tried calligraphy! The program took us to famous places like the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. I stayed with a host family who showed me their way of life. They were warm and always ready to teach me new things. I came back more confident and open-minded. My Chinese speaking improved so much in just a few weeks. It was the perfect mix of learning and fun.
