Culture! Friends! Travel! Hong Kong and the surrounding areas has everything! Feel free to travel throughout the region and really immerse yourself! Gregory S S - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I have no idea how I can put this in one box like this. I grew from immense and frequent reflection, and learned how much I love my friends and other people. This was the most worthwhile thing I have ever done. HQWat - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I have to be more out-going and make more local friends. Danfeng S - Brandeis University View Entire Review
My main motivation to study abroad in Hong Kong was to experience the lifestyle here. There might be a chance for me to return to Hong Kong after I become settled in my career so I wanted to get a feel of Hong Kong. I'm glad I came because now I know that Hong Kong is probably a place where I want to start/continue my career in.... Lisa A - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
It was absolutely worthwhile. HK is such a convenient location because it's close to all these other interesting countries and I got to travel and see places that I had previously only dreamed of going to. I also loved getting to meet other international students from very diverse backgrounds and speaking to them about their liv... Betty K - Brandeis University View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself as a person and I believe I grew a lot and am now more independent and more open-minded due to my experience abroad. A student - University of Hawaii - Manoa View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile. I gained so much in personal development, professional networking, and learned so much about Hong Kong. The opportunity to be in an environment where you can create yourself again because no one knows who you are is a pretty liberating. A student - Chinese University of Hong Kong / CUHK View Entire Review
Yes! I was able to travel and experience a different culture doing the similar everyday life I would be in my home country. I want to travel more and perhaps I might apply to graduate school abroad. I am also considering, after my academics, I might want to live and work abroad. Vivian D - University of California - Merced View Entire Review
This program is definitely worthwhile (if you're taking the Fundamentals in Chinese Medicine course). The visits to chinese medicine clinics and tours around Hong Kong allowed me to see several diverse aspects of Hong Kong (both its mountainous regions, cities, beaches, and natural landmarks).

YES!! I grew personally and professionally on this trip. I gained confidence, perspective, and valuable stories that I can take with me in the interview room. Jared P - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Yes, it was definitely worthwhile! Living in a culture different from one I'm used to takes patience and an open mind because there is a difference in priorities, attitudes, way of life, values and customs. There is a lot to see, learn and appreciate. Ka Yu C - State U View Entire Review
Yes, it was worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself, good and bad qualities. I also realized that maybe advertising is not a good field for me. I enjoyed the food and shopping in Hong Kong. I was pretty surprised at how westernized it is, even though I knew that it was colonized by England. It was different from what I expe...

It was an excellent opportunity to learn about Chinese culture and travel all around Asia. Jun - Rice University View Entire Review
I came to understand the meaning of life. 100% worth it, even if it costed 20x as much, I would still do it again. Lefteri C - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
This experience is priceless. Every UT student needs to invest in an opportunity like this. This experience helped me grow academically and personally. It really helped me see the big picture in my life. I went to Asia alone and I had to learn to live on my own in a vastly different culture. Despite the large student population...

Learned so much about people from other countries, not just local students, but international students as well. Hong Kong is a great place to get your travel on, and great for food and sucking in culture; completely worthwhile. victoria.montalvo - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I learned a lot about other people's cultures. I had a diverse group of friends from all over the world and it was just nice to be able to have cultural exchange with them plus I was able to experience other cultures through traveling. I gained a more open mind. It was kind of new to be in another country where everything was no... A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned that different cultures have different ways of thinking. For example, local people in Hong Kong tend to not understand sarcasm. It was definitely worthwhile since it was the first time I had stayed in Hong Kong for more than a week. If I had the time and opportunity, I would definitely return! There were too many plac...

I learn about different culture and learned how to be more responsible. Yes, it was worthwhile because you gain more knowledge about yourself and others. Johnny W - University of Hawaii - Manoa View Entire Review
Learned a lot about myself and about different cultures. Colleen L - University of Hawaii - Manoa View Entire Review
I learned so much about Hong Kong and Asian culture in general. Honestly, if I could give my experience 100 stars it wouldn't be enough. It really, truly changed my life forever. I've made some of my best friends in the world through the summer program, had priceless memories, and am considering moving to Hong Kong now! Rachel S - University of Hawaii - Manoa View Entire Review
I found out I've lived a very sheltered life and this gave me the chance to experience new things and learn about entirely new perspectives I never knew existed. I LOVED this experience and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I wish it would continue!! I had a very set plan for my future, but upon my return I no longer feel very i... Courtney W - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
The study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. I created a network of friends that I would not have otherwise met. I love the city, I love the people I meet, and I love the university. The university was absolutely beautiful. I have definitely had one of the best times of my life. It was an unforgettable experience that ...
