Any chance of a fluent English speaker, ok-ok Mandarin speaker and sucky canto speaker surviving in HK? I understand canto, but can never learn to speak it (nobody to practice with in my household).
that's me too! haha! well, hku is an english-medium university. they have a lot of international students from countries like Pakistan, Europe and Africa as well. I don't think they can even understand canto or chinese in general (at least most of them can't) so i don't see that as a major problem. in fact, being fluent in english will be your advantage in classes, presentations, assignments, exams etc because some of the hk-ers studying there may not have as proficient english as you.

Do you need to know how to read Chinese to study in HK Uni?
i think myreply to Grimm's question might answer your question 
. but just to emphasise, no, you don't need to be able to read Chinese to study in HKU (at least, for most of the major courses if not all in case there's an exception or 2) as the medium and all other exam stuff are in english. and note the international students' population in HKU, a lot of which who cannot even speak chinese let alone read.

, but to be honest, either one is just as good, comparing it simply. I may be wrong, so don't hit me if I am.
