Studying Mandarin at a top university while living

Studying Mandarin at a top university while living with a local family gave me the perfect balance of structured learning and real-life experience. The classes were challenging but engaging, and the homestay allowed me to practice daily with my host family. Beyond language, I got to experience Chinese traditions, food, and festivals firsthand. The support from the program team made everything smooth, and I felt safe and welcomed throughout my stay. This program truly transformed my understanding of China and boosted my language skills in ways I never imagined.
