My brother had a great college experience. In his junior year, it culminated in a study abroad beijing program where he studied in China for a year. The experience changed him completely for the better. He appreciated what he had and appreciated why he was attending college. He also ended up with better grades for both his junior and senior years as well. The best part is that he can speak quite a bit of Mandarin now. When I go to college, I also want to spend my junior year in a study abroad program as well. It may even be in China as well.
