Hong Kong’s universities are stepping up as unexpected heroes for international students caught in the crossfire of U.S. policy changes. The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) announced it will offer unconditional admission and streamlined transfers to Harvard students impacted by recent U.S. restrictions on foreign enrollments. 🚀
Provost Guo Yike called it a 'win for global academia,' promising full support including visa assistance, housing, and academic resources. 'Education shouldn’t be a casualty of politics,' he said, highlighting HKUST’s top-30 global ranking and multicultural campus as key draws. 📚✨
This move mirrors Hong Kong’s broader push to attract global talent, with other local universities reportedly considering similar programs. For students, it’s like a real-life ‘study abroad’ quest—but with fewer paperwork dragons to slay. 🐉✈️
While details on application timelines remain under wraps, the announcement has already sparked buzz among academic circles. Could this reshape Asia’s role in global education? Stay tuned. 🔍
