Chantel Yiu returns to New York University for second year

Hong Kong singer and Stars Academy alumna Chantel Yiu has returned to New York University to begin her second year studying Music Business. Following her recent solo concert in Hong Kong, Yiu has been sharing glimpses of her life as an international student through social media.

Yiu recently sparked online discussion after admitting she sometimes takes taxis or Uber to campus because she is “genuinely just too lazy” to walk. While some netizens criticized the choice as extravagant given the availability of the New York City subway, others defended her, citing personal safety and the convenience of door-to-door transport for a young woman living abroad.

In her social media updates, Yiu has shared photos of her daily routine, including her studies, outings with friends, and life in her dormitory. Fans have responded with support, noting her maturing image as she approaches her 20th birthday.
