Review

I graduated from university in July 2014 and decided to go China for some experience consolidation and especially the Chinese language. I opted for 6 months study in Fudan University in Shanghai combined with part time Job with a Finance Company. I studied Chinese language Monday to Friday from 9am till 12 noon. After class, I continued to my company for an internship for the rest of the day. After work, I usually have a coffee with my language partner Wang Jie, a very wonderful lady.
My life for the entire 6 months was much routine with tight schedules than fun. I planned it as such since my expectations were high. I cancelled all my social activity plans and trips to rest for the weekend and practice.
My internships was properly arranged and I love the company and the environment. MY job description was almost what I wanted and I get to work on real stuff. I sometimes get to the office tired but I put in my best. Chinese classes were also properly organized as expected because it was organized in a university setting
At a point in time, I wanted to switch classes from morning to evening so I work in the morning but the university was reluctant because I was already enrolled to morning. At this point, I wished I went to a language institute with morning and afternoon schedules. CIP was there to defend me with the university but the administrators will not allow that.
The program was professionally organized and I love the program coordinators. I was welcomed by some smart ladies at the airport and they looked very professional in their operations.
I will say I enjoyed my time in China because I was able to write my HSK 5 successfully as bonus package from CIP and I think I am cool

Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would
