Alfred YEUNG - University of South Carolina, USA


“The exchange experience in USA is invaluable. Studying in America is totally different from Hong Kong. Classes have much more interactions and activities. Darla Moore School of Business provides great resources that facilitate students' learning and career planning.

The dorm I lived was Maxcy College. Maxcy was full of exchange students from different countries. I felt quite embarrassed at the beginning because of language barriers. Luckily, they were super duper nice and helpful. When you meet any difficulties, there was always one to help you. They invited me to attend all kinds of activities - movie night, parties, football matches, an 10-hour road trip to Florida... I was fortunate to make friends with these youngsters. I am still keeping in touch with some of them.

American has a lot of surprising cultures. Every meal is enormous. Burgers and fries are everywhere. Tipping can even cause you a headache. Besides, Americans are crazy fans of football event. They watch every single match of their states. I have become a small fan too!!! The 4-month exchange life was really fruitful and incomparable.”
