where was this video before i paid my deposit
Yeah it is soooooo expensive!!!!
@@thisisjoyceee355 A sooooo remarkable comment...
@@thisisjoyceee355 Do you know womanizers?
Ikr like I thought i have researched enough but then I saw this video after confirming and everything like WTFFF!! Well hope for the best I guess there nothing I can do…
I was an exchange student in HK when I was younger and I partied almost all the time. I think I spent more time in LKF than at campus:) I became an investment banker, returned and lived there for over 10 years, made six figures and would do it all over again. The lesson is: Remember to have lots of fun. You live once. You'll be alright.
Why am I watching this video from a HKUST student hall, it's too late

i am planning study pg in hkust, how do i even get an admission there...what are the criteria they are expecting
Totally agree as a local student. The atmosphere of UST is quite comparative.
Some students are afraid others better than them, so hiding their strength and pretending to be weak on study.
Just like discussing assignments or finding internship, they will not telling something what might benefits others.
well that sucks. 90% of my academic success the past few years was due to me relying on others sharing resources 🌚
Being a human has already been comparative and competitive.
Is it really that bad? I will go there soon this September bro… like most students are just mean, toxic and not really wanna help?? That’s ridiculous.
As a Year 4 student studying at HKUST, I totally agree. Both the academic pressure and peer pressure are killing me😶.
The first thing to deal with before entering HKUST is don’t think that others are all better than ourselves. This may hurt our performance fatally
I am a current student at HKUST.
According to my observations, HKUST is a great university with high teaching quality and a great learning environment.
I enjoy studying with my friends in the library. When I have problems, I can easily approach my professor and TA. Teachers are patient with students and even willing to have lunch or dinner with me to share more about life experiences.
It all depends on what you want and how you treat others. When you treat others with honesty and love, they will treat you the same way.
depends on your major
I Graduated from HKUST with a very low score, and it is haunting me until these days, although i’m currently doing well in my master degree in Australia.
For someone that trying to survive with low score, all of your option is limited, you cannot get into better major (i received my finance major stream since admission which I regretted so much) , you cannot go into exchange and forced to keep going with no option left.
On other part, you also limited to submit ur cv, as some company have fix limit, asking ur gpa in the begining…
In addition.. the comparison mindset, will haunt you.. it will degrade all your achievements in the future, believing that you will always be “below average” compare to your peers..
Choose carefully
do you recommend to go there for a semester abroad?
Hello! I'm kyle from mainland who graduated from senior high this year.A couple days ago i was admitted to hkust gz and i'm looking forward to my new life in hkust gz.
omg i've chosen HKUST as one of my study abroad options... i'm just glad that i will be on a pass/fail basis
You get to experience all the best parts of HKUST without the stress!
If u come to Hkust study abroad is the way to go hahahah

My parents dont let me have many options honestly, they denied it when I asked whether I can study outside of hong kong. They say, it is more expensive to live outside of hong kong (is it really true). I am right now doing IB diploma and I am in year 12 in hong kong. I really do not have a fixed career path yet, and I really do not like too much competition. Do you think HKUST is more stressful than IB (as in one of your earlier videos, you had said you did IB). I am honestly not a person who wants to go for parties as I am quite introverted, but I am an international student. Is it really that stressful? Thank you.
Hi! Outside universities do tend to be more expensive if you count their international prices + high cost of living, but it also depends if you will count as an international in HKUST or not (do you have an HKID?). It is stressful not in the IB way, but in a "there is a lot to memorise and I wish the teaching is a little better" way, but all universities have their own flaws. It does depend on what you want to get out of university tho.
Salute from a yr 12 DP student from the mainland. I really want to study in the US but literally all of my families are trying to convince me to study at HK.(I just received the hkust offer). Similar situation with you. I know your pain..
@@thisisjoyceee355 what is DP
@@nerd2544 diploma
@@Kevin-tt7ph man I'm a dumbass for not getting that
I am currently lost at the South Gate of our Uni...
I will be an exchange student at HKUST in Fall/Winter, I really hope its not that bad, because I procrastinate way too much haha.
Are the classes currently online or at campus?
PS: Do you know if the exchange students also get a new email adress for HKUST? (Or do I use the one from my home university?)
Currently, the classes will be online for the next few weeks, but we are expecting to go to mixed mode soon. Exchange students also do get an HKUST email address :)
according to the latest arrangement notification, next term will be on campus.
I have gotten an admissions offer from HKUST with a full tuition conditional scholarship🥳, but it requires me to maintain a 3.000 CGA in all years of uni, is it difficult to obtain a 3.0 CGA per year?
If you can consistently get an A or above in High School, then it won't be too hard really. You have to be diligent from the first semester, and choose your courses very carefully! A lot of my bad CGA comes from choosing the wrong course :(
Hi congrats :)) Can I ask you which departmant you got into ? And what was your gpa in high school ?
Thank you :)
I’m about to finish my first year at UST and this video just hammered home the mistake I made in coming to this uni…
Although I am academically oriented, I struggle under stress, I hate competing with others and I want to enjoy some partying once in a while. I kinda feel like transferring to CUHK as I have some friends and seniors I know over there
Same... I have all these doubts and thoughts as well... I feel like this is not the right uni for me
Uninstall league
Funny seeing you here @@juliuschoy2329, you have some doubts as well?
I’m studying in HKUST, and I strongly advice those who is studying soon, DO NOT CHOOSE HKUST. If you ask me of why did I choose HKUST. Well, I had offer from POLYU, Cityu, and HKUST, I chose HKUST due to my parent’s expectation.
why didn't you choose cuhk or hku instead 🤔
@@nerd2544 Hku is harder to get in I guess? As for CU, its business school is just not as good…
@@tannil3829 for local applicants it's not that hard. regular business degrees are easy to get into, only stuff like IGBM are competitive but some people say these degrees have no big advantage in the real world
@@nerd2544 oh ok thanks!
I'm happy as long as I can meet my scholarship requirement! Though.. what do you think about CUHK? I have decent academics but would like a more balanced work-social life if possible.
Sadly I don't know too much about CUHK...
I am joining the cuhk mba class this year
@@kohyee I see, thanks either way. I've decided to go with CUHK as I received a better offer from there, and from what I have seen, the social aspect is better suited for my needs. Though, my friend is going to UST next year, so I will probably visit the campus myself a lot. 😅
May I know if I can reach to your turkey friend today?
You have a new subscriber! Btw you remind me of star girl the practical witch!
Thank you!!
Oh, oh! I have just submitted my application to HKUST but this video is so scary.
Also are the comments…
hi! can you discuss about HKU vs HKUST, internships and job opportunities for international students? it would be reallyyy useful
Hi! I honestly don't know a lot about other universities, so I don't think I can do a good video on them. But for work opportunities, a lot of job need you to have a work visa before you can work for them, so you would have to apply for one :)
@@kohyee thank you! oh right, what abt internships? do we have to apply for work visa?
@@jenniferyoshuara2676 I'm not too sure, but if it is unpaid it should be fine. Best to ask the company themselves.
@@kohyee Ahh I see, thanks for the info!
I want to give up i am so pressured now. Needed to have some help😞
Don't give up! When challenges come your way, go above and beyond and fight for your happiness. Ultimately, grades are not important and do not define you!
@@kohyee i think i want to seek some advice from you if you dun mind🥲
@@oxygenfiberegirls7384
sure!
You are pretty!
I have the opportunity to study abroad at either HKUST or CityU, do you know how they differ and compare to each other?
I think it depends really on 1) your major, 2) what you want out of your exchange, 3) what you want to do in HK.
@@kohyee I am a Finance major and I guess I just want more of an authentic HK experience instead of an international class room experience if that makes sense. I think I am leaning towards CityU more. Especially since I will only be there from September to the middle of December :/
@@Rowestah I don't know much about CityU's teaching style, but I'm sure it is similar to HKUST's (but less intense) according to my friends at CityU. It doesn't matter ultimately which one you choose if your goal is to explore HK. You'll definitely get to do that!
@@kohyee Thank you so much. I appreciate all the help with this process :D
@@Rowestah If location is important to you, then go with CityU. Neither HKUST nor CityU are close to or in the city like PolyU or HKU, but HKUST is VERY far out of the way. You have to take a bus or a minibus just to get to and from HKUST. If you like going out to the city, CityU is the clear choice. HKUST has a beautiful campus, probably the most scenic campus in Hong Kong if we're being honest, but at the end of the day it's relatively inaccessible by public transit. Going out to the city is a journey compared to other universities. HKUST is good for hunkering down and focusing on your studies, but I doubt that's what you're going for while you're in HK.
HKUST is the best Univ in the world
Nah I'd win
Oof if only u made this video last yr 😂
Churrrrrr
just dont study engineering n u'll be better off than the rest lol
