During our study abroad group's stay in Beijing, we attended courses at Tsinghua University, which has been declared the MIT of China due to its heavy focus on engineering and the high quality of its graduates. We also took classes on cultural differences and communication, US-China relations which was taught by an expert in the field (Prof. Chu Shulong) who is often featured on Chinese TV to discuss issues. Additionally we learned about Chinese history and its evolution through time. Overall, it was a very memorable experience and I learned a lot!
