Program Reviews

My internship through Go Abroad China gave me the real-world experience I was looking for. I was matched with a dynamic company where I wasn’t just observing—I was part of the team. I worked on projects that actually mattered and received constant feedback from professionals who genuinely wanted me to grow.

What stood out the most was how structured yet flexible the program was. GAC helped with everything: visa, housing, cultural activities, and even Mandarin lessons. I never felt lost. The support staff were always there when I had a question or just needed advice adjusting to the culture.

This internship pushed me outside of my comfort zone and helped me see my field—and myself—from a global perspective. I feel more prepared and more motivated for my future career than ever before.

Learning Chinese through this program was an unforgettable experience. Studying at one of China’s top universities gave me access to high-quality lessons, passionate teachers, and classmates from all over the world. The classes were challenging but engaging, and I saw real improvement in my language skills within just a few weeks.

What made it even better was the homestay — living with a local family helped me practice Mandarin every day and understand Chinese culture on a deeper level. From home-cooked meals to daily conversations, it was the most authentic way to learn.

The Go Abroad China team made sure everything ran smoothly, from airport pickup to cultural activities and weekend excursions. If you're serious about learning Chinese and want to do it in a way that’s both effective and meaningful, this is the program for you!

Joining Go Abroad China’s internship program was honestly one of the smartest steps I’ve taken. I interned at a Fortune 500 company in Shanghai, and every single day felt like a crash course in real-world business. From sitting in on meetings to contributing to team projects, I was treated like a team member, not just “an intern.”

What really stood out was how supportive the local GAC team was—they helped with everything from cultural tips to navigating the work environment. I also appreciated the networking events, Mandarin classes, and weekend cultural trips that gave me a deeper understanding of China beyond the office.

I came back with industry skills, international experience on my resume, and a broader view of the world. Highly recommend it for anyone serious about a global career.

Attending the GAC high school program in China was absolutely unforgettable. As a high school student, I got to study Mandarin in the mornings and then explore Chinese culture in the afternoons — from visiting local high schools to learning how to cook traditional dishes.

What made it so special was how the program mixed language learning with real cultural immersion. We didn’t just sit in classrooms; we experienced China by living it — through homestays, cultural activities, and trips to places like the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. I made international friends, practiced Mandarin daily, and returned home with a new level of confidence and independence.

If you're a teen looking for something more meaningful than a typical school break, this is it.

Taking a gap year with GAC in China was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I spent time learning Mandarin at a top university, living with a local family, and interning at a company in Shanghai — all in one program.

The support from GAC was outstanding, from helping with the visa to organizing cultural trips and language exchanges. I felt both challenged and supported every step of the way. I returned home with new confidence, stronger communication skills, and a clearer vision of my career path. If you're considering a gap year abroad, this program has everything you need: language, work experience, culture, and personal growth.

Studying abroad in China was one of the most enriching experiences of my life. The program combined top-notch Mandarin instruction with cultural activities, local excursions, and the option to stay with a host family — which truly made a difference.

I didn’t just learn a language; I gained insight into Chinese traditions, cuisine, and values. The support team was always available, and I made friendships that will last a lifetime. Whether you're aiming to boost your academics or just want to explore the world, this program delivers on every front.

Joining the internship program in China was one of the best professional decisions I’ve ever made. I was placed in a multinational company where I worked on actual projects, collaborated with a global team, and developed skills I couldn’t have learned in a classroom.

What stood out most was the balance — professional growth during the day and cultural immersion after work. From Mandarin classes to weekend city tours, I felt fully supported and inspired every step of the way. I left the program not just with a stronger resume, but with more confidence and global awareness.

As a high school student, joining this program was one of the most exciting things I’ve ever done. The Chinese lessons were fun and easy to follow, and the cultural activities like calligraphy, dumpling making, and school exchange visits made learning feel like an adventure. I loved meeting other teens from different countries and actually using Chinese in real life. The homestay family was so kind and made me feel at home. I came back with better language skills, new friends, and amazing memories. Highly recommend it to any teen looking for something unique and meaningful!

Taking a gap year with Go Abroad China was one of the best choices I’ve made. I split my time between studying Mandarin and interning at a local marketing company in Shanghai. Not only did my Chinese improve significantly, but I also gained real work experience in an international setting. The cultural activities, weekend trips, and the amazing people I met made every moment meaningful. This program helped me discover more about myself and what I want for my future. I came back home more independent, focused, and globally aware.
