What do previous students have to say about the program?

“Living in Hong Kong was the best experience of my college career, the lessons I learned outside of the classroom are things I will never forget.”

“The opportunity to see the world and travel had always been a dream, the affordability of the program in Hong Kong made it possible.”

“The HKBU program was professionally organized, taking the hassle out of international travel and allowing a true educational adventure. It was an opportunity of a lifetime that I would recommend to any student pursuing a full college experience”

“Most people limit Hong Kong to a city with tall buildings and crowded streets; it’s skyline at night and diversity of the places around the city are some of the most beautiful things I’ve seen...”
