“Chinese education focuses too much on exams and they’re really bad about the creative and letting the students think,” says Popo Huang who is studying Graphic Design at Ohio University. Popo’s parents at first weren’t supportive of her decision to study art. They wanted her to study something more practical, like business, which is the most popular major amongst Chinese exchange students at OU. Popo, who has already moved out of the OPIE program, sits in a Philosophy class where the majority of the classmates ar American.
