Chengdu in Eyes of Foreign Students
As the first innovative program for overseas students in China, Chengdu American Center for Study Abroad was co-established in 2012 by the Chengdu Municipal Government and Global Maximum Educational Opportunities Inc. (G-MEO).
So far more than 480 students from 33 higher education institutions in the US have had the sponsorship of G-MEO to study at the center.

What professors say
For me, I like to be part of Chengdu culture. I don't want to be a tourist here…I like the feel to be part of the communities, and that's why I spent most of my time hanging out with my Chinese friends here.
― Andrew Guth, professor of public policy and global issues
