Hong Kong is a high-energy and impressive place to study abroad! Past Review
By Josh A (Economics, Tufts University) for
University of Hong Kong / HKU: Direct Enrollment & Exchange
Yes, studying abroad was absolutely worthwhile. You learn to appreciate things that we have here in America and the way other people around the world live. Studying abroad gives you a more well rounded view of the world and current issues. Hong Kong is a great place to study because it accepts foreigners, yet is an exotic experience for Americans. It is also serves as a great place to travel around South East Asia from.
