Study Mandarin in China’s most Westernized city.
Live and learn in bustling Shanghai, the fast-paced global hub known for its futuristic skyscrapers and fascinating mix of multicultural influences.
Spend class time in intensive, college-level Mandarin classes, studying the language with native-speaking instructors. Practice your language skills in your dorm, while shopping, relaxing, and learning local customs as you learn to live like a local.
Outside the classroom, you’ll participate in organized activities with other students, like calligraphy, dumpling-making, and Chinese trivia nights. Your group excursions include visits to historic sites like Zhujiajiao, a preserved water town, and the peaceful Chongming Island. Foster new friendships and improve your Mandarin in an authentic setting, creating a life-changing experience you’ll remember forever!
