After visiting the campus as a "visitor" this spring, I have always considered HKUST(GZ) as my dream university. I am thrilled to be back on campus, transitioning from a "visitor" to a "resident," and it has provided me with a genuine sense of belonging. The most remarkable aspect is the teachers' remarkable patience and warmth. Being on campus has broadened my mindset and expanded my horizons, giving me a fresh set of life goals. During the visit to the undergraduate dormitories, I felt privileged to have the opportunity to personally communicate with President Ni. President Ni is incredibly approachable and charming, and he generously shared his stories and experiences, which left a profound impact on us!
