Review
After three months of trials and tribulations, these are my main reasons NOT to choose them if you're serious about studying Mandarin or working in China.
Didn't help set up apartment with four month's advanced notice
Lied about having Mandarin professors
Curriculum left a lot to be desired
Didn't communicate about the progress of finding an internship
Resorted to yelling at students when students inquired about things they found strange in the company
Keeping the fact that it's a family run business secret
Set up interviews at opposite ends of the city at conflicting times
Denied policy changes when inquired
My two teachers were very nice people though. We keep in touch.
Despite all of this I do like China and encourage others to come here.
Would you recommend this program?
No, I would not
