China Institute's Summer Study in China Program Rocks

I wanted to go on a trip where I foremost improved my Mandarin, but also got an authentic experience of living in China, and understanding their culture better. The other trips I was researching seem high on the adventure level but I didn't feel confident I would learn as much...and I am so amazed and happy with my experience I want to share it with you. I valued the homestay and the dedication of the teachers to help improve my Mandarin the most. I now have new friends forever and plan to return China!
