    Thank you very much for this video!🥺 I'm an incoming international freshman. I've been trying to get more information about student's life in HKUST before coming to uni and haven't found a lot tbh. Would you mind making a video about dorms/pros and cons of each hall ?.?.? (whatever you feel right) cuz all the videos on CZcams are like 5 or more years old haha. Thank you again for all the helpful information 🥰

    • @kohyee
      @kohyee  Před 4 lety +4

      Hi! Thank you for your kind comment!! I am planning on doing a hall comparison video sometime soon + other things related to HKUST that is geared towards international freshmen. Any other ideas are also appreciated

    I‘m a freshman from SCUT in Guangzhou.From my perspective,The shortage of college resources in China is the key reason for Chinese students in HKUST tend to work harder on study. China is a country of a large population.Chinese students are used to competing for the limited resources. In addition,HK‘ college tuition is much more expensive than that in mainland China.Maybe it’s another reason. As you said,having an open mindset is a good advice for us.I'm also struggling on high GPA as to be admitted to oversea universities and get the master degree.My major is EE,so many senior schoolmates in my department went to HKUST to study a master‘degree.That’s why I watch your video.It‘s rich in content.And welcome to Guangzhou anytime!

    HKUST is the best university in Hong Kong, only if you know how to appreciate & be grateful. At least, if you love mountains, seaview or beaches - HKUST has two, it would be wonderful.

    I’m thinking about a exchange there, would you say that is it difficult to pass the exams? Or with a few weeks of study you can take good grades

    • @kohyee
      @kohyee  Před 3 lety

      Most of our courses are graded on a curve. You really REALLY have to study hard to get a good grade, even if the material isn't that difficult.

  • @Theodore1999
    @Theodore1999 Před 3 lety

    I have ASD and maybe making friend is easy, but I am glad that it’s also easy to stay alone, I was in a few society and by second semester, I dropped out all of them except for sports team. Study wise, an advice to everyone going into Hkust, take all classes seriously, I didn’t in my first year and it’s just make it worse, I am now year 2 and I am forced (kind of) to be those who study 24/7

    • @kohyee
      @kohyee  Před 3 lety

      I agree! I didn’t do well in my first semester, but now I’m back and working hard on my studies. Good luck on your endeavours Theodore!

    Is there any chance to transfer to the RMBI for an international student? I didn't get in during the current uni application……

    • @kohyee
      @kohyee  Před 4 lety

      It might be difficult because you are QSA, but I’m not qualified to answer that question! It might be better to email admissions and ask, sorry!

    • @exploretheworld17

      Hello! I'm not a PG student, just a year 2 UG student that goes to HKUST... I don't really know much about the PG program at HKUST, I think it would be better to email HKUST directly for things like that. Sorry!
