Abroad China Participant Testimonials
"Being back to school is very different. It's nothing like Beijing. I had the best experience in my life to date. It changed me personally and professionally. Also, I became culturally aware. I have been telling everyone about my global experience, but a lot of them can't really understand because they were not there. I really want to come back and work for the whole summer. I had a good internship. I gained a lot from working there. Now, I'm hungry for more."
-- Brandon Patton-Jackson, University of Evansville, Business Management
Thanks again for all your work for making this an incredible experience. I had an amazing time. I miss China, and I definitely would love to come back."
