Unforgettable Summer Experience

My stay in China helped me build confidence and the ability to make decisions independently. Shanghai has an extensive and efficient public transportation system as well as various service apps that initially seemed difficult to navigate, but were actually quite simple as I quickly got accustomed to them. I was able to explore some of my passions such as arts and crafts with the addition of Chinese elements since opportunities to pursue all sorts of activities were highly accessible in the city. One of the best aspects of the program is having local roommates. I practiced Mandarin with the roommates and learned a lot about their lifestyles and partook in pastime activities with them.
