My experience with ICP Asia was one of the best experiences I had at Boston College! Not only did I travel to Beijing, China to see the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, enjoy the nightlife and experience every day life, but it was also an immensely positive learning experience. I enjoyed working with professional consultants at CCAFM (www.ccafm.com.cn), a boutique consulting firm in China. Together, my team from Boston College paired with consultants at CCAFM on a project which entailed analysis of non-performing loans in the United States and in Europe. Before this project I understood little about non-performing loans, let alone enough to advise clients on how to invest in them. I really liked learning about a topic that has such relevance to what’s happening in the financial markets right now. Semester long research culminated in an awesome presentation to CCAFM and their client!
And aside from a great assignment and sightseeing in China, I also enjoyed working with students from other graduate schools at Boston College. I met really cool people that I otherwise would not have. In what other class can you karaoke in suits, at lunch, in China, with colleagues from BC schools of law, business and social work?!
ICP Asia was a great opportunity to work on an interesting and current consulting project, learn how business is done in China, meet new people, see new sights, and celebrate Beijing-style at night.
