It opened his eyes to how Europeans think and study. He enjoyed life there and took an active part in the extra-curricular activities organized by student committees, such as city tours, Dutch Night, Arabian Night and public lectures. Howard also valued the opportunity to join the ‘Student Forum Maastricht’, a five-day conference combining lectures and workshops on labour, migration, economics, education, justice, and a visit to the European Commission in Brussels. Meeting students from other European cities encouraged him to think about these issues in the context of a globalized world. ‘As a journalism student, knowing more about the world and meeting people are assets I need in order to gain a professional edge,’ he said. 鄺俊豪 　新聞與傳播學院三年級學生，於二零零七至零八年度前往荷蘭馬斯特里赫特大學 學院當交換生一年 Kwong Chun-ho Howard , Year 3, School of Journalism and Communication, went on exchange to the University College Maastricht in the Netherlands in 2007–08 交換生歲月 Dutch Immersion
