BE PART OF IT DISCOVER CHINA 2017 [email protected] | 01752 305755 STUDENTS QUOTE… “I would recommend the China trip to anyone that wants to have a good time and just live in a totally different world. Great hospitality, great food, great experience and I’ll definitely be going back next year.” Tim Coats, China Trip 2013 BTEC Extended Diploma in IT Practioner, City College Plymouth “China grew to be an experience i will never forget, opening me up to an unknown world I learned to love, the change in scenery, culture, food and politics was a breath of fresh air that I embraced. I have a lot of favourite memorable experiences from Tai lake to long walk of The Great Wall which was all worth the time and effort…I never felt isolated or ready to go home. I believe I have grown up a lot over the month in China and learned more about patience in myself other people…..City College trip is well worth the price with how much you get to explore different cities and the amount you learn is priceless and of course the friends you make along the way. I couldn’t off asked for a better time and that is down to all effort both teachers and students put in with us at both Huzhou and Beijing. I am most grateful for all the unforgettable memories…” Carys Mahoney, China Trip 2014 BSc (Hons) Animal Conservation Science, Plymouth University “When I first arrived, I was very nervous and I couldn’t help but notice how very different everything was. But after a day or so, I got my bearings and I started to really enjoy myself…….I didn’t expect the local student helpers to be the most influential part of the trip. Throughout the trip they were all helpful and friendly and I honestly had the most fun……Chinese culture and tradition is awesome and I was able to explore so much of it on this trip: from temples, to street food and even karaoke. China as a country really embraces its culture and it’s wonderful and humbling to experience. The food was great wherever I went and there was always something new to try that tasted amazing......... You do learn a language faster when you are so immersed in it, and it was very rewarding to be able to start talking to my new friends in their language. To fully enjoy this trip you need to be able to adapt, but once you do, it’s the most rewarding experience in culture, independence and friendship.” Daryl Jones, China Trip 2015 FdA Game Design & Production, City College Plymouth “I had a very positive experience with the trip and I very much enjoyed it. I really hope to return to China in a couple of years’ time to study and learn Mandarin thanks to the trip, I loved it! My favourite part of the trip was seeing the Great Wall but the whole university experience was a very close second…...Visiting Shanghai was fantastic as was seeing the Sheraton Hotel along with seeing all the temples and palaces. I just want to say thank you very much for giving me the opportunity. It opened my eyes and was a really enjoyable experience; I highly recommend it to anyone thinking about it, just go! You won’t regret it.” Philip Mitchell, China Trip 2016 Social Sciences, Highlands University College Jersey, Plymouth University “I experienced some once in a life time trips and for that I will always be thankful for. The students and teachers were very welcoming and I loved the friendly atmosphere surrounding the College…..All I had a wonderful time and I did enjoy the classes that were more practical like martial arts and calligraphy. Again, I am very thankful for the whole experience and I will look back on it with fond memories.” Phoebe Forster, China Trip 2016 L3 professional chef diploma, City College Plymouth CONTACT US: We are delighted to share our knowledge of this extraordinary destination with you.
