I know someone who is doing law in CUHK , but she is graduating this year. For sabahan, In hku only me and a girl who is doing dentistry. But for Malaysian, there are like 10-20 of us. Most of them do business related course particularly Econ and Finance and Acc and Finance. For CUHK, it is situated in northern part of New territory, near to Shenzhen. But in terms of environment, UST and CUHK are better compare to HKU because of the campus is bigger and further away from the city. HKU is just too near to central, and hence Lan Kwai Fong. and make the land there expensive.

Can you guest, how much is the price of apartment on the top floor of this building cost ?

And this is not the most expensive one.

BOFA tower = Bank of America tower ? I thought that was the place for working ?

For the teaching, the medium is all in English, except linguistic course for sure. When I first came to HK, I thought they will either apply the Western or australia style, which is honeymoon for the 1st year, if not first sem. I tend to expect things to be extremely relax at least for the 1st week of teaching, as we have encounter in most of the Malaysia style teaching. But to my surprise, the lesson start instantly after several brief introduction, and I found difficulties even for the 1st lecture, due to the fact that hk students spend 7 years in high school whereas we only spend 6. There is no honeymoon for engineering students, especially for me who do double degree. All the text book here are from US, and cost around 250 - 300 per book. I am not sure for your case since you are doing law, maybe UK textbook. 

For engineering courses, especially those related to math (particularly pure math), you can expect a bored and tiring class, but for business class, there are always in class participation, looking at the stock market inside class, analyzing the market trend, and lots and lots of presentation that will require you to wear in formal. Make sure you bring enough suit for the presentation and high table if you reside in hall.
As far as I know, dentistry in hku is different with the medicine, cause medicine has their own campus which is nearby and supported by queen mary hospital. I can't provide you with much details about dentistry, but you can expect the qualification is recognized throughout the world. And I know one Malaysian from penang studying medicine here, perhaps i can ask him to give u some info.

Thanks for the info.... Yeap.. CU's Graduate Law Centre is in Bank of America Tower, Admiralty. So, just 20 mins of tube ride from my place.

Most of my Core textbooks will be a mixture of Local's and UK's ,If I am not mistaken... LOL... Pure Math classes are dull.. lol.. tell me about it .... thank god I lived through it.... I am more of a statistics and applied maths person....

Added on May 11, 2009, 12:24 amQuote-C, I am kinda in the same situation as you. Yes, you will be considered as local, I was classified as local when I applied  CityU ...

anyone heard of Hong Kong University? Top U in Asia.

Depends on the course, HKU isn't really great for every courses. NUS and NTU are better than HKU in terms of technology (engineering/IT) aspect.

The malaysian government recognises both universities for a start. As for engineering, I have enquired with the Board of Engineers of Malaysia and they said that they will recognise the courses if they are also recognised by the local board of engineers in Hong Kong. I also asked about the four year engineering requirement and i was told that it was a requirement for local engineering programs but not all overseas ones.

the cantonese spoken there is different. that's what i heard. i'm not really versed in chinese languaged but my friend said shouldnt say 'ta pao' to take away food ><

on a different note, what is the cheapest logding option over there?

Just got the offer form HKU recently
Bachelor of Engineering  =D

Its great to find ppl frm HKU writing here. Im currently doing my Alevels and I intend to apply HKU for either engineering or Medicine. Can someone tell me how competitive the entry is for this two fields? And also how about the tuition fees is it standard for all courses for international students? If not how much are the tuition fees for Engineering and Medicine?
