Jacob Robinson-Parent
(BSc ’15) Economics
Studied Mandarin in FASS

I unexpectedly started studying Mandarin Chinese in 2011. It was a life changing experience and I have used it all around the world. I am studying my masters in Czechia and currently on exchange in Korea. Studying Chinese gave me the opportunity to live in China and helped me get several jobs. Although I only have conversational Mandarin, I never go more than a week without speaking it. It’s helped improve my life in countless
ways.
