I still remember vividly our days in the Residential Program. I had so much fun and at the same time learned so much about myself and people in both personal and professional aspects. It was definitely the most interesting experience I have had so far.

The time I spent at HKUST means a lot to me. Working and playing alongside a group of exceptional individuals from different cultures has transformed the way I see the world.

This year, we mobilized 20 volunteers in our class to support the 4th Credit Suisse Asia MBA Football Tournament. All of the sweat and efforts that our team put into training paid off, as we beat other top Asian MBA schools and kept the trophy at HKUST.

Deciding to become the President of the Sports Club was one of the best decisions I made during my MBA. Our regular training sessions were a great way for students to build up strong and lasting friendships.
