1,400 mainland students favor HK universities

Sun Na, a freshman from the Chinese mainland at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, talks to the media, Sept 1, 2010. About 1,400 mainland students entered Hong Kong for university studies this year, the same as in 2009, according to the Xinhua on Wednesday. “We must not only accommodate ourselves to the English language classes and the Cantonese environment, but also accept the diet and climate here,” said Sun Na, who came from the Qingdao, Shandong province. Another new student, Gan Luchun, said that Hong Kong is attractive for its combination of East and West cultures and the free, open academic environment. [Photo/Xinhua]
