Added on August 20, 2008, 4:58 pm QUOTE(2HK @ Aug 18 2008, 04:03 AM) If I am welcome then why are you being so sensitive and hostile ? ok, first, thank you. actually i cant afford to study in London, so i cancel my choice for king's or imperial. and then, i choose those university base on mechanical subject.... hope you understand. you can see the link below. besides, from the THES world university ranking, university of liverpool, cardiff, manchester, sheffield is top 100 in the world. hope you give more advice.What " disgrace and stupid arguments " are you talking about ? If you are referring to the Times Uni ranking , In case you haven't noticed , I am not the Times , if you think they are stupid or disgraceful , kindly take it up with them . Or maybe since you cannot censor them you are afraid to talk to them. Everything is global now so a relative comparison btwn UK Unis and HKU is valid , give 1 good reason why it is not ? Where have I discourage anyone asking abt studying in UK ? Please back up claim and don't resort to bully boy tactics just cause you don't like what you hear? Referencing the Times and stating what are top 20 Unis and what are not is not " discouraging " in the true sense . A balanced view cannot be " discouraging " . If I had a personal problem against UK education , I would not have said this : If you UCL or Imperial is out of your reach then try : Durham , Bristol , York , Southampton ,ST Andrews , UEA , Bath maybe Sussex etc top 20 up and comers . I have 13 years experience in the UK including attending UCL , and visited 20 cities in the UK . I do think I know the country and have a lot to contribute. I suppose you will delete this , go ahead that will only prove my point .  http://extras.timesonline.co.uk/tol_gug/go...ject=MECHANICAL Added on August 20, 2008, 5:43 pmok, so one more interest thing. i found the ranking is different from "timesonline" and THES. which one is better for reference? sometimes the university ranking in UK is not that high in timesonline but is high in THES world ranking.....lol.....another thing, i choose the university base on UK ranking or the subject ranking..???? getting more confusing now...  and....for mechanical subject in timesonline, i cant found university of warwick, oxford, durham.......is that mean they are not good enough or being drop out from the list? screw them, make things stupid!!

QUOTE(2HK @ Aug 21 2008, 09:13 AM) Well , let's say this anything I say is my opinion entirely and I am not trying to force anyone to follow me unlike some other people. OK, so let have some real discussion, let see... ermm, ok, i follow TIMES ranking. now, im going to choose an university for MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. from the times ranking, cardiff, queen's belfast, and liverpool actually top 10 in mechanical engineering. how you think bout this??? why i chose UK is because it is fast, 3 years to get BEng... or 4 years for MEng.. so?So , as far a THES vs The Times , I would follow the Times over THES The times and sunday times have 100's years behind them and are the biggest most established newspapers in UK - that speaks for itself . Also you must understand if $$$ and global comparison are important to you [ as i said it would be contrary to what others thought] , then why would you restrict yourself to UK U's ? If you are looking at THES , By the same token HKU , NUS , Toronto , Michigan , Chicago etc are way above Liverpool etc . AND A LOT CHEAPER TOO. Also facilities matter , and places like NUS and HKU are much more modern than liverpool, cardiff, manchester, sheffield . You want to work with the latest cgis and main frames don't you ? Reason for this is that all UK U's are gov. owned and the UK gov sector is going broke , it has been for decades , your tutors shold have alerted you to this . Anyone who has lived in UK for a while will know this as fact. If you are only comparing UK vs UK U's then to me the Times ranking would carry more weight. |

ya, ya.... dont really search the university base on ranking.... is now a big gap after all.... and let say one university is bad like sheffield hallam, they still got lot of student graduate with career ahead of them. i think the most imporatant is the places of your study, you love it then is great. study is just part of our life, enjoy it and think bout your future is more important. your future is control by your attitude, characteristic and more but not academic result and background!! thanks to this forum.

QUOTE(2HK @ Aug 22 2008, 11:42 PM) Please get off your self appointed sanctimony . york and durham is good, but i cant see they are rank inside the mechanical engineering division in timesonline ranking by subject...(answer this!!!)Show me 1 instance where it is " trolling and flame-baiting " . And do not lie about me : I did not say anything bad about Imperial . as for the others , you show me some solid evidence that they are " top Unis " , then we might talk , otherwise you are just blowing in the wind. What admission policies ? you got me mixed up with someone else. Read the posts properly why don't you? relatively - NO they are not, I stand by what I say . price is a factor in quality . Unless you are saying that someone would RM60,000 more for a BMW over another exact same BMW. That's just illogical nonsense. what part of all this don't you understand ? Added on August 22, 2008, 11:50 pm No I don't you what do you mean you don like them because their background.... ? York and Durham are good U's , York is up and coming , and Durham's rep is still pretty good, but both of them to me still lose to HKU and places toronto , chicago , michigan , illinois. how bout sheffield, manchester and queen's belfast??? |
