This was my 6th time in China and for the last time I choose CSA company - I have to say it was a wonderful experience - if you want to study abroad - CSA is probably the best choice!
First, they met me at the airport with welcome package, fresh water and very lovely smile, trust me - after 10h flight it was something very, very nice!
Then they showed me my apartment for the next 6 weeks - I was easily excited!!!
Also I have to mentione - they gave me a mobile phone with all CSA staff numbers - I could call them any time of the day - always just one phone call away from you and happy to help you!
Every weekend you will receive the list of activities where you can meet a lot of new friends, spend wonderful time, also - invitations to the dinners or lovely lunch with CSA staff on the middle of the day!
Always very helpful and friendly, every time smiling to see you, with the CSA you will never feel alone or lost in China, they will always take care of you!!!
If you are looking for saving money and time - choose the CSA!
China Study Abroad
Going through CSA to study abroad in China is probably one of the best decisions you will make, if you have already decided to study abroad. I studied in Beijing for a month and traveled around several cities in China for two weeks through the program, and I can genuinely say that the entire program was excellent. The support from the staff is always readily available, and they work hard to provide an experience that is hard to gain from elsewhere. Language skills improve depending on how much the individual has put in the effort, but the Beijing Language and Culture University is known for their prestigious education system when it comes to learning Chinese as a second language. CSA provides a number of activities for the participants of the program to bond and explore the city/country, and they are one of the best parts of the program. I highly recommend studying abroad through CSA, not only to enhance your language skills, but meet amazing people and make everlasting memories.
Had a great experience with CSA! It was great that they were able to organise my course paperwork before arriving in Beijing - it really saved me a lot of time and effort! Their service ensures your stay is as stress free as possible, from their airport pick up service, providing a network of fellow students, weekend social activities,and assistance with course registration, to help buying a bike, and speedy repair should any issues arise in your CSA accommodation - they are really friendly, always happy to help, and only a phone call away! I would definitely recommend CSA if you are considering studying in China and are a little apprehensive about doing it on your own.
Went to China with CSA. Great value. They sent my confirmation docs quickly, and I saved much money and time using CSA services. If you are looking to study abroad in China, and not spend a fortune, then I suggets you consider using CSA. They have programs in Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, and I heard they will be adding Nanjing and Xian. Do not waste your time with the expensive packaged programs, go direct with CSA instead !
From the first time I sent an email to the CSA staff to when they dropped me off at the airport at the end of my semester, I was so pleased with the service they provided. I had never studied Chinese but was interested in learning the language and exploring Beijing and had such a good time with the staff and other students last fall! The best was the camping trip on the great wall - but I also learned so much in both my class and in the CSA tutoring sessions I had in the afternoons. It was my first time abroad on my own and I couldn't have done it without CSA. Once you realize everything included in their program fee (and that a semester program can be as cheap as $4500 or a year for under $8000) it's more than worth it - it's a necessity! I would sign up for another CSA program in an instant, it was an experience I will never forget!!
