Reasons from Reasons from P*****************
After conducting extensive research into SUSTECH for a while. I've found that this university stands out amongst the others as SUSTECH provides and hold properties that meets my specification of what I consider an ideal university.

Geographically, SUSTECH is placed at Shenzhen which is one of the most developed technologically as may technological parts and products are manufactured there. Shenzhen is also widely known for its massive shopping centers. Shenzhen is located in the southeast of china which means getting to Hong Kong would be quite easy compared to other universities. Essentially the location in which SUSTECH is in is an ideal place for me as a computer science student as it would allow me to be fully updated with the new and upcoming technologies with the massive shopping malls. Furthermore, I could also travel to Hong Kong to check out technological crafts and products overseas.

Academically, the department of computer science and engineering at SUSTECH understands how the world is rapidly changing due to the use of technology. This results in a high demand for people with computer science knowledge and skills. With this as a driving force, SUSTECH’s department of computer science and engineering aims to educate student to be innovative at the highest possible quality. To achieve this SUSTECH cultivates professionals with comprehensive quality and skills, supports 5 different specific routes/majors of computer science and collaborate with other well-known universities. Similarly, I also predict that computer science will be a highly demanding career, with the same goal and vision, I believe SUSTECH will guide me to what I need for a computer science career.
