- When my daughter decided to go to China for college through Duke, I was happy.
- While we have no ties to Asia, I knew the risk would pay off.
- She's improving her Mandarin and is getting a new outlook on the world.
When I tell people my daughter, Sophia, goes to an American college in China, I'm usually met with blank stares.
They usually say something like: "Why did she want to go there — of all places?"
