Thanks Cloying!!! My S will be starting Chapel Hill this fall. He has taken 4 years of Chinese in HS and spent 2 summers traveling in China and studying at Beijing HS #80 taking language and culture courses. We hosted a Chinese student for a year in our home. He was from Beijing as well. My S is from Florida and will go to UNC not really knowing anyone. Any advice/mentoring you could give him would be truly appreciated. He is a little apprehensive but very excited as well. He will be in Horton dorm. He was looking at Chinese 150 (Chinese Civilization) with prof Hsiao along with whatever Chinese language course he places into. What other courses outside of major should he think about for first year???
