Welcome
Welcome to Middlebury in Beijing!
Whether you’ll be studying with us for a semester or for a year, we welcome you to an adventure that will give you a new perspective on this culture and language that you have been studying. China is a large, rich, and complex country with more than just a single culture, and we invite you to ask us questions as you explore our country while at Middlebury in Beijing (MiB).
