Ensuring your Safety and Comfort
To help you feel at home in China, we have put together a range of services and support systems. To settle you in, we offer an Orientation Program, to ensure you live comfortably, we offer three accommodation/housing options and around the clock support if you should need help at any point throughout your day.
To make sure you hit the ground running, know what to expect of your stay and are prepared for your time in China, we offer you an Orientation Program and Welcome events. These allow you to meet fellow students and/or Interns, introduce you to the program and help you know what your time in China will be like. In your orientation, we’ll cover topics such as studying in China, working in China, housing, transportation, safety, health, where to get help if you need it, and more. You will learn everything you need to know to navigate your time with us.
We will continue to work with you throughout your stay to ensure you are comfortable and happy. We will also take you on cultural activities, tours, field trips, social activities and more.

Your biggest decision when you are in China should be about what historical site or activity you should take part in, not about your accommodation! Our housing options have been selected to reflect how the locals live, so you can feel at home. To ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible we have three accommodation options. These are:
- On campus accommodation in the dormitories
- A shared private apartment
- Homestay
We encourage High School students to choose homestay. In this option, you are placed with an established and vetted Chinese family, who have at least one child around your age. This ensures you have someone you can spend time with, who is close to your age.
We encourage all our students and Interns to share their accommodation with Chinese people. This allows you to maximize your Chinese studies as they can help you grasp the daily Chinese language faster.

To help you explore your region and get you out and about, Go Abroad China organizes a range of extracurricular and cultural activities. There are hundreds of cultural and historic sites for our team to take you to, giving you the opportunity to familiarize yourself with China. This is also a great way to get to know the other people in our programs, your classmates and our team. Activities are arranged around your study or work program, ensuring you can maximize your time here.
