Trimester Study Abroad Programs

Studying Chinese at one of China’s top universities through Go Abroad China was an incredible experience. I came in with very basic knowledge of Mandarin, and within a few months, I was confidently holding conversations with locals. The classes were well-structured and taught by patient, professional instructors who understood how to teach foreigners effectively. Outside of the classroom, the immersion was just as valuable. I lived with a host family in Hangzhou, which allowed me to practice daily and experience real Chinese culture. The support team at GAC was always there to help with anything I needed—from settling in to weekend trips. This wasn’t just a language course—it was a full cultural journey that opened my mind and helped me grow personally and academically. I’d highly recommend this program to anyone serious about mastering Chinese while experiencing China from the inside out.

I studied under four senseis during my three weeks in Sapporo who all were different in their approaches but excellent in teaching higher intermediate Japanese learners as I am. The beautiful thing about Meiji senseis is they are very approachable and receptive to your questions, whether during class time or during break. The student support and activity engagements are also top notch with a vast variety of things to do in this beautiful city. Morita-san recommended me great places for shopping, cafes to relax and also the best pancake I have ever had! Tsubaki Salon is a must for people with a sweet tooth! I would say go ahead and give Meiji a try! You won't regret it!!
