Why are Lotus prices so affordable?
| ¡ö |

Our host families do not charge
much -- they are interested in cultural exchange
and making friends, not in making a profit. |
| ¡ö |
Lotus does not produce expensive,
glossy brochures, pre-departure travel and
cultural guides. We encourage you to search
for these info on Internet. |
| ¡ö |
Lotus does not spend too much
on advertising or direct mail. |

Lotus students arrange their
own airfare and insurance. |
| ¡ö |
Lotus does not pay commissions
for recruiting students. |
Many students tell us about meeting up with friends
who have signed up with other, more expensive
program, and they tell us how surprised their
friends are to see them at the same university
in China ¡participating in very much the same
program but not paying nearly as much as they
did, while still earning college credit.
