Can you tell me about your experiences in The US-China 1+2+1 Dual Degree Program?
I spent the first part of my college career at Shandong University in China. I chose to enter the program with Mason because I wanted a new experience. The environment at Mason is very different from home. There were some challenges with the different cultures at the start. I was able to quickly adapt and have enjoyed my time here at Mason.

I hope to continue my education abroad and pursue a graduate Economics degree. I would like to stay on the east coast of the United States.
