LIFE IN HONG KONGHousing & Location
Classes are conducted in the School of Economics and Finance at
The University of Hong Kong (HKU), the most reputable
tertiary educational institution in Hong Kong. HKU has
achieved international recognition as one of the finest
institutes of higher learning in Asia.
Students participating in the program will reside at one of the
University's dormitories, a short distance from the classrooms.
The location for AIPE is in the middle of the bustling
city of Hong Kong. A richly diverse and international
city, Hong Kong will challenge your senses to see, smell,
hear and feel. Whether you are in the old street markets
bargaining for souvenirs and trendy fashion items, or
shopping in the most modern and gleaming shopping centers,
you will find that Hong Kong is a place for every soul.
As the center for finance and business in Asia, students
will mingle in the city with people from all over the
world, with restaurants and diners to match every taste.
Students will have full access to public transportation
to explore the city and will soon find that navigating
around Hong Kong is easy and efficient.
HKU, located in the steep hills on the West side of
Hong Kong Island, is just minutes from downtown. HKU
has modern classrooms, dormitories, computer facilities,
and dining facilities. The campus also has recreational
facilities that AIPE students will have access to.
AIPE program staff will assign roommates so that students
from the same country are not rooming together in order
to promote cross-cultural exchange. Each dorm room has
two single beds, desks, and a bathroom. All three meals
(breakfast, lunch, and dinner) will be served at the
dining facilities on campus. Every effort will be made
to provide vegetarian meal selections as alternatives
for kosher and other special dietary requirements.
