Most of the courses are very helpful and close connected to real life. I have learned a lot. I have also made a lot of friends outside of class. I learned to be independent and build a new lifestyle in a foreign country. It is very worthwhile to do this study abroad. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I enjoyed my semester abroad at HKU. Taking courses in a different country brought me new perspectives. student31 - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I guess I just grew up a bit as one does with studying abroad. Felicity Johnson - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Gained a better sense of my identity as a diaspora Chinese, met other diaspora Chinese. Was able to retrace my family roots through travel during breaks. Also gained a broader perspective of global issues, since my previous perspectives always were adjacent to whatever was happening in the United States.

I learned so much about HK's identity, history, & politics (esp. pertinent today). I also got to travel & experience East Asia, which was absolutely fantastic - it gave me a far richer understanding for Asian affairs & cultures. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
My study abroad was about self-discovery and cultural exposure. Though I was very disappointed by the academics at HKU, I knew going in that it would be very different from my liberal arts education. At a certain point, I decided that academics would not be the focus of my study abroad and instead concentrated on meeting people ... nari.savanorkejoyce - Wellesley College View Entire Review
It was interesting to experience and learn about the unique Hong Kong culture. But I felt like I was wasting my time in classes because they were nothing compared to the college courses in the US A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review

It was very interesting to be in China during this time in history and I was so happy I got to travel around China. A student - Bentley University View Entire Review
It was a very tough program, but it was completely worthwhile. Take 3 or 4 classes if your home university will let you. I learned about so many different cultures, and got a better idea of what kind of work I'd like to do in the future (something international) Marc S - Bentley University View Entire Review
I learned that an experience is what you make it. You have to be willing to put yourself out there to be accepted or rejected. And it was A student - Bentley University View Entire Review

How to appreciate another culture, and to be fully immersed. A semester that I will remember forever A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I now know what living in Hong Kong can be like. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I failed one class, but it was a great time off from being at Wellesley. I realized failing classes aren't so bad. And taking time off is very healthy. Being with family for so long made me much closer to them. I loved my time outside of school there. Earning credits was just a bonus. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Studying abroad is absolutely worthwhile. Even if everything doesn't go your way, you leave with a better understanding of yourself and the world. A student - University of California - Los Angeles / UCLA View Entire Review
I learned how different Hong Kong is from the mainland and why there continue to be tensions there. It was definitely worth while! A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review

Absolutely. My classes were fun, but what truly made me grow a lot as a person was the people I met in HK. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Yes though when it came to course approval my home university was less than fair. max.bennink - Bentley University View Entire Review
I gained a wider perspective on the world and also learned a lot more about myself. The course of events certainly did not turn out the way I had expected them to, but the experience was invaluable. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
