Fujian Normal University

Fuzhou, China

Students studying in Fuzhou through the Fujian Normal University will take courses alongside Chinese students, and will have full access to all university amenities (library, cafeterias, gymnasium). Since this is a direct university exchange, integration is much less guided, and students must be prepared to confront social and cultural differences, in addition to the university system, on their own

This program allows students to focus primarily on heavy linguistic immersion and study. Students should be prepared to take courses primarily in Chinese. Academic and personal autonomy is critical to student success.

Cost to attend:

Reed College charges the same tuition fees for a semester or year off-campus as for a semester or year spent on campus, plus the program's actual room and board fees. Reed College encourages students to choose programs based on their academic rather than financial needs to reflect Reed's belief that all students, regardless of financial circumstances, should have the opportunity to study abroad.

Financial aid continues for eligible students during the off-campus program. Students should discuss with the Financial Aid Office how other outside aid may impact their existing aid package. Check out more details directly on the Reed College Financial Aid page.
