While colleges and universities supported students if they wanted to pull out of the program, the protests have done little to deter students from continuing with their study abroad plans.
Protests in Hong Kong continue, but most American study aboard students were undeterred. When given the option to stay, many students chose to continue with their plans to venture to China's troubled city.Kong started out as peaceful displays of opposition to a proposed law that would give China the power to extradite people who were accused of a crime. The bill was shelved and in the past 10 weeks, protests have morphed into a call for increased democracy and police accountability.
"Hopefully things will calm down soon, but students have been told to avoid political demonstrations," Hobart and William Smith Colleges Dean of Global Education Tom D'Agostino told"I was 20 years old at one time and I know that would have been something that would have been really interesting to me, but even if you're on the fringe and just want to observe things, demonstrations are unpredictable.
