Be prepared to attend a briefing in the first week or two of class in which you will hear from older students who spent the summer abroad doing intensive summer programs, including at our Shanghai University site.
This will be extremely helpful in your own plans. You should take note of which older students have gone where and what their majors and special programs are.
Identify the ones who will be able to give you good advice in the future that is most relevant to you.

Note: this event is MANDATORY. You must schedule any extracurriculars around this event. Do NOT plan on arriving late or leaving early, unless you have received permission to do so well in advance from our director.
