HONG KONG - Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST)
I would do an international exchange again! I had so much fun, made amazing friends, and I think learned a lot along the way. Going into my exchange I didn't know anyone, so right from day one I was challenged to figure stuff out and make new friends. This turned out to be no problem at all.
Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) did a great job helping international students acclimatize, and the people at HKUST were always open and friendly. I ended up hanging out with a mix of people from all around the world, exploring Hong Kong and experiencing the unique culture there.

Some highlights were dim sum (obviously), hiking/camping on the beautiful beaches, exploring the Geopark by boat, and getting drinks at the tallest bar in the world (118 stories up). |

I
also
took
a
reasonably
full
load
of
courses
at
HKUST:
three
pure
math
courses
and
a
business
elective.
I'd
say
the
difficulty
is
about
the
same
as
UWaterloo,
but
the
teaching
style
is
less
rigorous
and
more
intuitive
based.
I
think
getting
to
experience
a
different
style
of
learning
was
(perhaps
surprisingly)
one
of
the
most
valuable
lessons
I
learnt
there.
I
don't
usually
take
pictures,
but
there
were
a
couple
times
in
Hong
Kong
when
I
was
so
taken
by
my
surroundings
that
I
had
to...
