Hong Kong: An Experience to Remember Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

There was a lot of work and the grading system can be quite different but nothing too serious to cry over spilled milk. Teaching methods are similar but they may call things and methods differently. For example, a discussion would be call tutorial.

On-site administration of your program

I think they're doing fine. I have nothing to complain about. My expectations were all met.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

Had a freshly built dorm. Segregated from local students though. Had to purchase own cookware. Mattress may be considered paper-thin in comparison with mattresses from your home country. Things were still under construction and waiting to be built as we were living there but nothing major.

There is a lack of fresh green vegetables and salad. Vegetables are usually cooked.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

High table dinner with your college and professors. Sight-seeing and school sponsored tours of the country.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

Vehicles have the right of way. It's not a law to yield to pedestrians. Hong Kong are germiphobes. There are hand sanitizers everywhere. Also, many public toilets may not have toilet paper so make sure you carry some tissue/hankies around.
