In researching notable Chinese people who have attended liberal arts colleges in the United States, I came across this honors term project written in 1993 by a student at Beloit College, entitled (appropriately enough Chinese Students and Beloit College. Written by Xinwei Cai, this article is thorough study of Beloit’s history of interaction with China, as well as a look at the reasons why Chinese students have chosen to study at Beloit over the years.
I recommend this article to any Chinese student who is interested in studying in the United States, and who may be considering a strong, academically rigorous liberal arts education in a community that is warm and welcoming of its Chinese students.

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!

Transferring Colleges, Studying Chinese
During a recent trip to Guangzhou, Guangdong, China, I met a young man from Massachusetts who spoke beautiful Mandarin Chinese. I had lunch with him, and asked him about his educational trajectory. He mentioned several tantalizing tidbits, including the fact that he had transfered from Boston University to the University of Massachusetts, that his major was in philosophy, and that he had studied Chinese at Fudan University. He now lives in Beijing, where he works for a prominent educational exchange company.
I asked him if he would share a bit of his educational history on camera, and he agreed. Here’s a brief clip of our conversation.
