Testimonials

“The classmates and professors we met in IITM are kind and knowledgeable. I love them! IITM’s campus is a beautiful national park. Deer, monkeys and other animals live in harmony with local people. I love the tall trees there. Indian foods are distinctive… Experience a different culture is an unforgettable memory. We broaden our horizon as well as built friendships with local people.”

Sun Chen (Emma), Shanghai International Studies University

“A week of experience in IIT Madras has been very successful and fruitful for all the students from Shanghai International Studies University. The diversity and intensity of the courses were very impressive for all the students. The most beneficial part for all the SISU students was the discussion on China affairs in the class.”

ZHU Xinrong (Paul)

“Meeting the delegates from Shanghai International Studies University (SISU) was not only an intellectually stimulating experience but also personally gratifying. Interacting with the students helped me look at everyday things from a fresh perspective.”
