The University of North carolina at Charlotte · Senior
I love how diverse my school is and how absolutely beautiful the campus is. I was surprised to find out how much you can accomplish simply by talking to the right people like starting up your own student organization or how quickly professors are to want to help students find their footing rather by offering jobs or research opportunities. I wish I'd known how to implement the resources the school had to offer because I could've achieved the same level of success much faster.

Duke University · Sophomore
What I love about Duke Kunshan? The collisions: discussing Confucius over midnight dumplings, taking the high-speed rail to Shanghai for an afternoon, then returning to a campus where everyone somehow knows everyone. What surprised me: how small the world becomes. A roommate from China, a friend from Brazil, a professor recommending a noodle shop. What I wish I knew: say yes more often to 火鍋 (hot pot) invitations, and conversations that begin with, “Want to grab 咖啡 (coffee)?”
