Best summed up by one of our alumnae from our China program: It's fair to say that going on that program completely changed my life! Subsequently, I completed a degree in Chinese and am now living and working in China. I never would have dreamed of being here if I hadn't gone on that program, so thank you very much to you and all the team for providing the platform through which I could begin this amazing journey. I still look back on every part of that experience with great fondness, from staying with the homestay family and learning Chinese, to teaching at the school and the travelling afterwards. It was truly unforgettable. -Rob Gymer
