Chinese Students Pursue A True Liberal Arts Education in the USA

A new book written by three Chinese undergraduates now attending liberal arts degrees at American colleges highlights the many advantages of smaller colleges for Chinese students and their families who hope to study in the United States.

The book, written in Chinese, aims to educate Chinese families about schools beyond the Ivy League and the large public universities that tend to be the only ones most Chinese families will consider.

Inside HigherEd offers an interview with the three young authors. I’m going to have to buy the book!

Is there an English language edition? My understanding of what I have read is that the book has been published in Chinese (with an English appendix which includes interviews). Please let me know where you can purchase it. Thank you. Walter DeMelle, Director of the Library, The Hotchkiss School, Lakeville CT 06039

Hello, Walter. There is no English translation. You and I have the same understanding: it’s published in Chinese. I have ordered a copy from the Chinese version of Amazon; a friend bought it for me and I will be collecting it on my upcoming trip to Hong Kong. Here is a URL
http://www.amazon.cn/mn/detailApp/ref=sr_1_1?_encoding=UTF8&s=books&qid=1257911937&asin=B002ACOCC8&sr=8-1 . The cost is 30 RMB. Shipping will be many times that!
Hope this is helpful.
