Does a trip abroad to Beijing and a commitment to improving Mandarin language skills carry more weight as a unique topic than some of the more typical study-abroad experiences?

Re: International topic?
well, I would say there's a difference between studying in China versus Western Europe where you most likely were speaking english the whole time. I've never been to either, but I know that the people that "studied" abroad in western europe did very little learning and way too much partying. With that reputation, I would be wary of someone that wrote about their experiences therefiremed wrote:How is this any different from a study abroad experience?heptune wrote:Does a trip abroad to Beijing and a commitment to improving Mandarin language skills carry more weight as a unique topic than some of the more typical study-abroad experiences?
