 **Hong Kong: A Gateway to Global Business**

 Aashni Rungta’s journey to The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) began with
a clear vision: to study in the East’s most dynamic educational hubs. As a second-
year Integrated BBA student from India, Aashni was drawn to Hong Kong’s unique position
as a global financial centre. “I was always sure I wanted to study in the East—places
like Hong Kong or Singapore,” she reflects. For Aashni, CUHK stood out not just 
for its academic reputation, but for its holistic approach to student development
and its vibrant international community.

 **Balancing Academic Rigour with Personal Growth**

 Choosing CUHK meant embracing both comfort and challenge. Aashni found that the
university’s environment pushed her beyond her comfort zone while providing the 
necessary support to thrive. Specialising in Finance and Data Analytics, she has
quickly adapted to the rigorous curriculum. “CUHK has pushed me academically, but
more than that, it has helped me grow as a person,” she notes. The transition from
a close-knit family in India to independent life in Hong Kong was made easier by
the supportive campus atmosphere, where every corner now carries a special memory
of her first year.

 **Leading the International Student Community**

 Aashni’s impact extends far beyond the classroom. Recently elected as the President
of the International Student Association (ISA), she has taken on a significant leadership
role to give back to the community that welcomed her. “Being elected as the ISA 
President has been one of the most meaningful experiences,” Aashni shares. Through
this role, she aims to foster a sense of belonging for international students, organizing
events like BBQs and late-night campus walks that define the unique CUHK experience.

 **Building a Future in Finance and Analytics**

 Looking ahead, Aashni is eager to explore internship opportunities in Hong Kong’s
thriving business and finance world. Her first year has already instilled a newfound
sense of independence and confidence. “CUHK has made Hong Kong feel a little more
like home,” she says. With a focus on finance and data analytics, she is well-positioned
to contribute to the city’s tech-driven economy, carrying with her the friendships
and challenges that have shaped her transformative first year.
