Hong Kong is fast-paced, convenient and culturally diverse. Students can experience an international city while enjoying country parks, islands, food, arts, shopping and outdoor activities.
New students should arrange accommodation early, prepare entry documents, understand campus support, set up telecom and banking, and learn the transport system. The Octopus card is useful for transport and many daily payments.
Hong Kong also has reliable healthcare, public services and emergency support. For emergencies, call 999. For daily student issues, contact your institution’s international office or student affairs office.
