CIEE – Peking University – Beijing, China (summer 2011)

Hi! My name is Dan Loughrey, and this is my senior year at Ramapo.  I’m an International Studies major, and I have minors in East Asian Studies and Anthropology.  I’ll be completing the Business Essentials certification this Spring. I studied abroad this past summer in an intensive Chinese language program at Peking University in Beijing, China.  Not only did I learn a great deal of Mandarin in my time abroad, but I got to be a lot more adaptable / quick on my feet after a mishap on a (wrong) subway line.  My study abroad experience showed me that I can adapt to tough situations on the fly and that an open-minded mindset can help someone enjoy their experience abroad that much more.   I look forward to working with anyone interested in studying abroad in hopes of making their experience as good or better than mine was!
