In China, I had majored in International Economics and Trade, so I chose to complete my MBA at Herzing University through their international program.
The first couple of months were tough for me since English is not my first language. It was also my first-time having class in an English-speaking atmosphere. The professors were nice and patient with me, and they gave me guidance and suggestions so that I could adjust and learn classroom procedures. As time went on, I really came to enjoy my classes. I learned a lot while at Herzing and made lots of wonderful friends along the way!
After graduation, I stayed another year for optional practice training (OPT) and received a couple of job offers, but ultimately decided to return to China where I am now working in Shanghai.
My advice to students is to always be enthusiastic both in school and during daily life! You’d be surprised how strongly everyday events can impact you and your future.
