The University of Hong Kong (HKU)

The University of Hong Kong offers a wide range of different accomodation possiblities for students. The supply is really amazing. Our student halls are also provided with gyms, 7eleven, great traffic access and some have cantines. However, the house regulations are quite strict according to exchange students.

Definitely you will have to go to Lan Kwai Fong. Fridays and Saturdays...that's the place to go. All the international and Westerner go there to drink, dance and socialize. It is also a great opportunity to get to now some big business men. However, the prices for alcohol are unbelievably high for a student. Definitely go and check out the bar Stormy Weather. Another place to go is Wanchai, Carnegies. Go there on a Wednesday night - it's ladies night. A very crazy place. If you like it more quiet but still want to party a bit, you should go either to happy valley, which is more localized or go to Soho.

Hong Kong is a great place. All in all, it is exciting and you have access to all other travel places like China ie. Xian Terra Cotta, The Great Wall, Shanghai, Guanzhou and other countries like Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia. All travel packages booked from Hong Kong are very affordable and cheap.

To be honest...I could speak the language of instruction better than most of my professors. I was quite disappointed to hear that most of the teachers have great problems with English although Hong Kong used to be a British Colony. I can say this on behalf of most of the international students.

Get used to the fact that you will not buy any milk products...they are very expensive. Go out less but spend more then. Stop smoking!
