Program Overview

Study abroad in Hong Kong and discover a fascinating intersection of language and ancient cultures with ultramodern infrastructure, innovation, and opportunity.

Immerse yourself completely in Chinese culture and language while living with a host family and attending a local high school. You’ll find that China’s size and diversity make it an ideal place to explore vibrant and varied cultures, with different regions offering wide-ranging cuisines and customs. Enjoy mouth-numbing Sichuan peppercorn, sip and savor Shanghainese xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), or slurp noodles of all sorts (mostly wheat in the North and rice in the South). Traditional celebrations, like the Lantern Festival and Chinese New Year, happen all year round. Whether you go for a semester or a year, experience timeless cultural events.

Join us in China, the perfect destination to step outside your comfort zone in a uniquely historical and modern context.
