My First Week Studying Abroad in Hong Kong! (HKU)

I studied abroad in Hong Kong back in 2018 before the protests and I'm finally sharing my experience. I studied at (HKU) The University of Hong Kong in the UCEAP program at UCSD. Here's my first week in Hong Kong where I met a lot of new friends (from UCSD, UCSC, UCI, UCSB) and explored the city together.

[@abbylicious1994]

What a fun video! 😃 i'm going to study in HK in August so this got me suuuuper excited!

[@alhassanalmuhathil4342]

I’m going there too but really scared

[@abbylicious1994]

@@alhassanalmuhathil4342 why are you scared? It's going to be great!! ☺️

[@user-fx5zp6ec3s]

@@abbylicious1994 You should be scared. They destroyed the HKUSU for political reasons, and pretend there's nothing happened.

[@canto_v12]

@@alhassanalmuhathil4342 nothing to be scared of in HK it’s gonna be great. Just be careful when travelling during the pandemic.

[@smexxihellokitty]

WOW

[@stevenphung]

Thanks for being a good sport HAHAH

[@Art-yd4sh]

This is what I call spectacular content

[@stevenphung]

HAHAH thanks bud

[@laoganma6612]

thanks for the video! going there this fall, and this really helped. quick question, do you recommend getting a meal plan? or should i just buy food from the city?

[@stevenphung]

Based on my experience, no need for a meal plan. Coming from the US, HKU meals were really cheap. Plus you want to explore the city and try all kinds of restaurants out.

[@monyelaraby5121]

It is possible that if I study a language in an institute, I have the right to work while studying

[@Jessiemats]
