Chinese Students' Blogs

VCU is currently hosting over 70 visiting students and faculty from both the Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU) and Fudan University in Shanghai. The "American Studies Program" is a month-long program intended to offer these students insight into American culture and education. The students are attending daily lectures offered by VCU professors on a variety of topics such as American political science, history, mass communications, homeland security, literature, jazz, business and more. They are also attending day trips to the surrounding area including Charlottesville and Richmond, and will travel to Washington, DC and New York in early August. The students are accompanied by 15 VCU students who are interning for the program.

Each student is keeping a blog of their time in Richmond and the US. Below I have included the links for the students' blogs. Take a minute to get a glimpse of how the Chinese perceive VCU!
