Study in China - Beijing

We sent students for total language and cultural immersion programs at Central University for Nationalities in 2007 and 2008. The program was very successful and everybody had fun. We didn't have any class shots except the graduation ceremony. But trust me, everybody worked hard and learned quite a bit. This program is offered again in 2009. Hopefully you'll be able to join us. To see details of the program, please visit http://www.chicagocci.com.
