Choosing to spend four months at HKUST is a decision I'll never regret. The experience allowed me to delve into topics I'm passionate about through challenging courses. Building friendships with students from around the world was enriching, and all of this unfolded on an astonishing campus, adding a unique dimension to my academic journey. I left Hong Kong with four words in mind: I will be back

Studying at HKUST during my semester abroad was truly an inspiring experience. I made friends from all over the world and worked in interactive classes with different nationalities. Student life at HKUST is just awesome and there is plenty of things to do and explore around the campus and in the city. Looking back I can say that probably had the greatest time of my life as an exchange student.
