"One of the most valuable takeaways from this study tour was the opportunity to communicate with peers from around the world and witness the collision of ideas shaped by different cultural backgrounds. Immersed in a campus rich with international atmosphere, we not only enjoyed cuisine from various cultures, but also gained a deeper understanding of the importance of cross-cultural communication in daily interaction. This immersive cultural experience greatly broadenedour global outlook and laid a solid foundation for future study and work in an increasingly globalized world."

" Our classes were lively and encouraging—teachers never hesitated to affirm us, allowing everyone to speak freely and present confidently without fear. Even break time was special; we enjoyed delightful afternoon tea that brought both comfort and relaxation. In the school cafeteria, seniors and mentors patiently answered our questions, eased our worries, and shared their own experiences with us. Their guidance helped us set clearer goals and inspired us to study harder."
