Go Abroad China Reviews

Going abroad in high school felt like a bold move, but it turned out to be the coolest decision. The classes were fun and interactive, and I got to try things like calligraphy, tai chi, and making dumplings. I lived with a kind host family who treated me like their own. I made friends from all over the world and really improved my Chinese. It was fun, safe, and unforgettable. I made friends fast, and practicing with locals made learning Chinese feel natural.
Thanks GAC 🙌

I studied at a top university in Shanghai through GAC and had an amazing academic and personal experience. The professors were engaging and the language classes were practical and well-paced. I loved exploring the city on weekends with classmates and attending local events. I was nervous at first, but the support team made the whole process smooth. I came back not just with language skills, but with a stronger sense of who I am. Nothing is easy when you're lazy about it, everything is easy when you're crazy about it.

I joined the gap year program after high school, hoping to explore something new — and I got way more than I imagined. From studying Mandarin to interning at a local nonprofit, every part of my year was eye-opening. Living in China made me more independent, adaptable, and curious about the world. It was the kind of experience that changes how you see everything, including yourself. The cultural exchange with my host family made it even more meaningful. GAC was all there from 0-100 and the team was truly supportive.

My internship in Beijing through GAC was a huge step forward for my career. I was placed at a mid-sized tech company and was treated like a valuable team member from day one.

Highly recommend it to anyone looking to build an international resume. The team at GAC helped with everything, from my visa to housing.

More than that, I developed cultural awareness, improved my communication, and came home with a renewed sense of confidence in my career path. The team treated me like a valued colleague, and I gained insight into international work culture, learned to collaborate across languages, and developed skills I still use today.

I studied Mandarin for one semester at Beijing Language and Culture University through GAC, and it exceeded all expectations. The teaching was top-tier, and classes were small and interactive.
