Shakiru Adebayo GAFARI, Nigeria Lingnan University has provided me with a wide variety of learning experiences. In its conducive learning environment, I discover new opportunities for learning. Being a student at Lingnan has helped me develop insights into not only academic excellence but also physical, intellectual and social development through a wide range of activities in the Integrated Learning Programme (ILP). Lingnan University has offered me unparalleled opportunities to experience another culture, develop new skills and meet people from different parts of the world. I am very happy to be a Lingnanian and proud to contribute towards its internationlisation initiative. |

Maleehah Iman ALI, Pakistan Being a student at Lingnan, means being on a journey of self-improvement and self discovery; you are driven to do more, see more, explore more and most of all challenge yourself constantly. Every step of the way, you are guided and supported by the most dedicated team of professionals. Even if home is thousands of miles away, Lingnan will become your home away from home. The experience is well worth leaving the familiar behind and far more rewarding than the mere attainment of a degree.

Suren Mark DE SILVA, Sri Lanka Lingnan has enriched my college experience in ways I wouldn't have thought possible. Since I joined Lingnan, I have learned so much about myself within the framework of a totally new culture. Each day is an adventure greeted by many new colorful experiences. |

| Nauleen Hossain KHAN, Bangladesh Bachelor of Business Administration, Year 3 I came to Lingnan with a hope to get familiar with the Chinese culture. And now I am not only familiar with the Chinese culture but also get to know many cultures as I have friends from many other countries as well. It is a place where East meets West. It's truly “International”! |

| MA Wan Chuen, Malaysia Bachelor of Business Administration, Year 3 All I can say is, I’m lucky. Lingnan University gave me a spark of hope. I never give up any chance to further studies and I always believe that a positive way of thinking will lead me to a correct path eventually. Finally, Lingnan University appears in my life and I am realizing my dream to further studies abroad right now. This is only the very first semester for me to study in Lingnan and stay in Hong Kong. Everything seems to be so attractive and I am glad that I am here. I can feel the sense of “home” once I reached Lingnan. Everyone is helpful and friendly. The students are so active in the activities and it is easy to observe that they are keen in making their life meaningful. The culture sharing of students from different countries is a precious chance for us to have in-depth understanding about each other. That is exactly the way for a university student to enrich the experience apart from academic aspect. The liberal art university is indeed a place to groom people for service to society by using the whole-person approach. I am eager to explore the Lingnanian’s life and become a successful whole person. |

KYAW MYINT Mi Ki, Myanmar Lingnan is a second home for me. I feel very warm studying at Lingnan as everyone is kind and helpful. Everyday, I am learning not only from classes and lectures but also from the different cultures, traditions, lifestyle, languages which I have never been exposed to in my life before. These experiences are very valuable for me. |

TAN Zi Chin, Malaysia I did not know that hostel life can be such fruitful. It is totally different from what I have imagined before. I love it especially when my hallmates are so easy-going and talkative. In addition, I found the annual International Day memorable. Everyone from different cultural backgrounds gathered together was a rare scenario in my college in Malaysia. It was really a great experience as there were so many things which we cannot learn directly from the books. We can even learn more from the exchange students as people from different cultures have different viewpoints on certain issues. Other than planning to apply for the student exchange programmes, I will participate in other activities to explore more, learn more and make my University life more fruitful and meaningful. |

Alexandre CERDA, France After spending one year in Lingnan University and beginning my second year, I can say that studying in Lingnan is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Not only have I gained knowledge and skills through classes but I have also met many outstanding people, teachers as well as students. By participating in group activities and joining societies, I have been able to broaden my horizon and discover a lot of things about myself and others. Living in the hostel is also an important part of my life in Lingnan as it allows me to try a new way of life and to get closer to the local students. My life in Lingnan has been a series of great experiences but the best part of all so far is that through the Drama Society, I have experienced being on stage, which is something that has brought me a lot of joy. This is why I want to say “Thank you Lingnan University!”. |

Zuzana HELIKOVA, Slovakia Lingnan is an amazing place because it creates an atmosphere where people feel comfortable. People on campus are great and locals are genuinely nice and sincere. My learning experience at Lingnan is wonderful because of its small classes. On the one hand, the teachers really care about the students; on the other hand, we, the students, also learn from each other. That is something that we all appreciate. We are supporting each other and learning together at the same time. Once you come to Lingnan, you absolutely don't want to leave. |

Fernando SASSO GUERENA, Mexico Personally, people from Hong Kong have proved to be unexpectedly friendly and thoroughly respectful. I have come across incredible students with very diverse perspectives of the world we live in, and Lingnan has offered the necessary platforms for international students to share views and values. Hong Kong is an experience in its own right, and it gives you the occasion to take advantage of every desire for learning you may have and make it happen. |

Shannon Atali TYNDALL, Jamaica Lingnan is a true definition of liberal arts education as it encourages your development as a holistic person. Lingnan has provided me with the opportunity to meet and fraternise with people from every continent of the world. Through interaction with my new friends, I have become a more culturally aware individual and have a greater appreciation for the various nations of the world. Despite the occasional language barrier, communication is not a problem and interaction with Hong Kong people outside of the University is almost always pleasant. Since I have joined Lingnan, my life has been enriched in ways I did not think were possible. I truly love the people here. |
