I have been reading some of these posts and have found it rather amusing. It goes to show how the expectations you bring with you can effect your experience.
I personally worked with Aston in several locations from 2003-2006. I saw it all, big schools (Jinan, Xi'an) and smaller "franchise" schools as well.
This experience was wonderful for me and I would recommend it to anyone. I was consistently treated fairly and made several lifelong friends in the Aston world.
I also met a handful of genuine losers, some of which I suspect have been posting here. I dont think these people had the communication skills to function properly in their own country and failed even more miserably in China.
