Graduate: Studies 'most fulfilling I ever had'

I always dreamed of studying in the US, but my family was unable to support my four-year undergraduate studies there. So I compromised by attending this cooperative Sino-US university in China.

My parents were worried that, because the first class of a university that hadn't established its reputation, I may encounter difficulty in landing a job after graduation. But I decided to take the chance and give it a try.

I still remember the first several days, when I couldn't understand most of the lessons given by the professors all using English. Fortunately, the language barrier was overcome after I was immersed in the all-English teaching environment for a semester.
