University of Virginia Opens Office in China

According to China Daily, the University of Virginia is now opening an office in Shanghai to raise its profile in China. Currently, about 900 students from all over China attend the University of Virginia at the Charlottesville campus location, which jump-started the idea to open an office in their home country. Dudley Doane, director of the university's international studies office, said, "The office provides us with an outpost in Shanghai so we can strengthen our academic and research partnerships, alumni engagement and recruiting in China and the rest of Asia."

I think this is a wonderful idea because it gives the university a chance to grow and gives students in China the opportunity to experience a worldly education.

    A lot of foreigners all over the world come to attend universities all over America. University of Virginia is one of the best universities in the states. Having that high of a ratio of Chinese attending UVA in Virginia today is very high compared to all other universities foreigner ratio. However opening a UVA office in China is a great opportunity for the Chinese I agree, and easier for them. This can maybe lead to other doors for universities and different countries around the world.
