Getting to know our partner university

On Monday afternoon we visited the HSBA Partner University in Hong Kong. The Hang Seng Management College is located about one hour from the city center by public transport. We took a ferry to reach the other side of Hong Kong and had a beautiful view on its fascinating skyline.

As soon as we arrived at HSMC, we were stunned by the size of the university area. The campus included several big buildings, a basketball court and an outside pool. Due to the high temperature of about 30 degrees it is not hard to imagine that some of us would have loved to jump into the cold water 😉.

Mrs. Chow Lo, Head of the International Office, presented the university in a very interesting and interactive way. We started with watching the image film of the Hang Seng Management College, so we were able to answer the questions she asked in the quiz afterwards.

The university was founded in 2010 and strikes with its modern and environmental friendly  facilities: The new campus buildings were designed and constructed according to the "Platinum Standard" of the building environment assessment method which is the highest level of sustainability in building construction in Hong Kong. Furthermore it is possible to live directly on the campus area. About 1.400 bed spaces are provided for HSCM students. There are many opportunities for the students to spend their free-time. The university has its own gym, a dance room and an indoor playground + swimming pool.

Afterwards we had a little group chat together with some students of the HSCM, talking about the similarities and differences between our university lives. It turned out that two girls made the best choice and will spend their next semester at HSBA. We tried to give advice where to find a flat in Hamburg and answer other important questions in preparation for their exchange semester. In one thing we could definitely ensure them: They will not get lost at our comfy campus 😉.
