A small studio, on purpose.
Roamray is a Shanghai-based study studio. We run one cohort per season, typically 24–30 students, fifteen days. We've worked with the three host universities for the better part of a decade in other capacities; Roamray is what happens when we put it together as a single program.
Built like an editorial team, not an agency.
We have two photographers, an academic coordinator, and four resident counselors. No sales floor, no upsell — the program is the entirety of what we offer.
We are based in Shanghai and work directly with the three host universities. We do not collect or store passports or card numbers. Payments are handed off to Stripe.
Three house rules — all the rules we have.
Deliberately few
Typically 24–30 students per cohort — we run at the minimum of 24, and we have walked away from larger groups, and we always will.
Tell families what we tell our own.
Every claim on this site is verifiable. Faculty names, hotel names, hospital partner — disclosed on booking.
Photography over rendering.
Every image you see is, or will be, real. Until we have it, we say so with a striped placeholder.
We are hosted by, not affiliated with, Fudan · SJTU · Tongji.
Each host university receives the cohort through a named department. Faculty contracts are paid; seminars are conducted on their schedule, in their rooms. Roamray is the program operator, not a degree-granting institution and not a representative of any host university.
