Great opportunity for the right kid or just to far removed from the typical college experience?

I’m a bit wary of China programs right now. UMich just ended its partnership with a Shanghai University this year—

There was a time when foreigners might come to the U.S. to avoid censorship. That time, however, has passed: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/rumeysa-ozturk-tufts-university-ice-arrest-b2722397.html

Far removed from typicaL college experience. We looked at duke Kushan, nyu Shanghai, etc. Easier admission with the right profile, but after our research, not the right decision. Teaching style, school culture very different. If that region/language is of interest, there are better programs here in the US.

Definitely not your typical college experience - probably comes with significant risk that your kid may struggle. I do think for the right kid who could embrace the opportunity it could be life changing.

Better Chinese programs in the US?

I’d say great opportunity for the right kid.

Would it just be for a semester? Shanghai is a fun city. I’d say go for it.

I know someone who did this; she actually spent a year at NYU in NYC also.

What major? How would it play out when looking for a job or grad school?

Teaching style is massively different. That’s not bad, just different. I don’t believe that foreign students are fully mainstreamed but there would be a lot of other foreign students.

The student would have to be flexible and go with the flow. Lots more rules to follow.

How do you know all this?

In this environment? Absolutely not. Trump is about to enact Chinese students after they’ve already paid. I would not pay for this and then risk getting deported from China (or worse!).
