When I first arrived in China I had no idea what I had gotten myself into. It felt like biting off way more than I could chew.

The GAC staff has been of great help in supporting me in times of need. Not only guiding me throughout the entire program but also using their own free time to take me out on excursions and sightseeing events. Because of them I can truly say that this has been one of the most enriching experiences I've ever had in my whole life.

The program itself was tough but manageable. I have learnt alot during my time in China about their language, culture and history. It's truly a unique place.

I definitly recommend this program to anyone who is interested in Chinese language and/or culture.

Questions & Answers

Alumni Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with verified alumni.

Why did you choose this program?

I had to go abroad as per university course requirements. I first started my research and involved my career advisor who is also on campus, and helped a lot with finalizing the formalities of going abroad from my school.

What did your program provider assist you with, and what did you have to organize on your own?

Go Abroad China did manage to give me all the important things: getting my study visa didn't present any problems, I got picked up at the airport in Shanghai since it was my first time there anyway. I think the weekend activities can be even more organized.

View Entire Interview

What is one piece of advice you'd give to someone going on your program?

Not to be scared and enjoy China because once you are there and studying everyday, time tends to go by very quickly. Within no time you will realize you are already preparing to go back to your original school after the summer holidays.

What does an average day/week look like as a participant of this program?

I had around 20 hours of class time per week, which was definitely a lot since I went to summer school and expected it to be a little less strict. But actually, it was fine in the end and I had a blast learning Chinese with 20 something other classmates from a lot of different countries.

Going into your experience abroad, what was your biggest fear, and how did you overcome it and/or how did your views on the issue change?

Going to China for the first time was of course something I really thought about and got nervous about, but strangely enough I wasn't shocked as I had predicted. I was worried about life since I didn't speak Chinese, but actually Shanghai is so modern, the Chinese there speak English.

What is your favorite memory from your time abroad?

Being in Shanghai and learning about the city, its hang outs, history, new locations and other little nooks in the city with new friends was a great experience for me.

What is your favorite traveling experience?

Lea: Most of my travel experiences have been right here in China and my favorite experience was in Nanjing, a city in southern China. Even though Nanjing is becoming modern in a lot of areas and is experiencing a large influx of foreign students, but it remains full of history and has a rich cultural scene. I also enjoyed the cuisine, scenery, walking along some of the old buildings still left in town and the people were as welcoming as ever.

What language have you always wanted to learn and why?

Lea: Recently I’ve become a bit engrossed in Japanese and it is mainly just a personal preference; I’ve gotten very interested in Japanese television and their modern city life so language seems to be the first step in understanding all this. Besides, I also wish to travel to Japan in the future and I want to have some basic Japanese noted down before I go!

What has been your career path so far?

Lea: Previously I was involved in general office administration before joining Go Abroad China’s service team. So for now, it is just ensuring everyday that I help our team to offer the best possible customer service that we can deliver, be it in arranging housing, internship placements and just being available to solve whatever issues or additional questions that arise during a client’s time with us.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

Lea: I am still fairly new to Go Abroad China & the study abroad industry so my main goal is to understand more about the industry, whether be it reading about projected trends, studying about how our own company is doing, doing research about the kinds of companies we are in competition with. The list is long of the things I make sure to be aware of, but all in all, I have really improved in taking initiative and reading around the area that I am employed in.
