Since moving to Hong Kong, I have fallen in love with the city. There
is always something going on and a new place to explore, and the
convenience and safety of the city make it easy to move and live
here as a student. The diversity and mix of cultures here are unlike
anywhere else. Being at HKU has put me at the heart of Hong Kong
and has been a catalyst for exploring and learning about Asia and
the world as a whole. With all that I have learned and will continue
to learn here, I feel confident and well-equipped for everything that
lies ahead.
