"I spent a month on the intensive language program. The school was great but the one-on-one was even better, I learnt loads and the teacher was fantastic.

"I completed the China study abroad program Mandarin Language + Internship and I had one the most enjoyable and fulfilling experiences of my life. I spent 6 weeks improving and polishing my Mandarin in the unique international atmosphere of the [language academy] where the teachers instruction was friendly and effective. I quickly felt at home and made a lot of new friends. I also spent 6 remarkable weeks working for a Chinese NGO in Beijing. I think CSA did a great job of matching my language abilities and desire to work in a non-profit environment with my Internship placement.
