...home for four years, and you will shortchange your experience if you stay within the Harvard bubble. In the time it takes to upload pictures of the Yard to Facebook, you and your roommates could bond over sorbet at Christina’s or head out on adventure in downtown Boston.

At one booth, recruiter Zhong Man says entry-level salaries at her Shenzhen-based apparel company have doubled in the past two years...
