Oh btw, if people want info about HKUST, now the university is actually officially endorsing the facebook group started by the people from CC, and a number of people have joined since then. So I have a feeling it will be a valuable resource until everyone meets in HK (except we intl students in china have troubles accessing it ).
anyway it was just a reminder!

@Happyanonymous Heeey! Sounds really cool. HK is great, we're all in for a real treat for three years Where do you live now?

@exe163 Well I think you automatically decline if you don't accept. Or well, they take back their admissions offer if you do, usually. Maybe email your contact person, if you got one?

chriskim12: We might as well have. But as for Hackers, I don't visit the site often.

Just to get some info regarding Korean applicants from time to time. It seems that there are

more Korean applicants to HK unis than ever this year...

@LuceViktoria – Reasons for HK? Too many to list! I think we get to select halls because we are full time students (exchange students are randomly placed). I’m going to HK as soon as we are allowed to move into the halls, probably around august 19th. What about you?

Do anyone know when the HKU residential year of 2010/11 starts?

Do you guys think there's anyone from HKUST's admission that hangs around here? I'm guessing probably yes

@kyubaek90 I'll third that, congratulations! Best of luck in whatever choice you make

@AlecDluz I think I read somewhere that residential year starts August 21st. Might have been in that guide we got sent home... I'm planning on making my way over some time in early August, perhaps via Beijing to visit some friends first or just hang around Guangdong and do the same before moving in to campus. I hear the week before classes start is pretty intense

@kyubaek90: Congratulation!! I'm really glad to hear that

@LuceViktoria: I'm currently taking a gap year in Beijing. If you are planning to visit Beijing sometime during the summer, plz feel free to contact me I might go back to Korea in July, but I gotta come back to Beijing before I go to HK. hehe

Does everyone decide HKU residential halls? Hall application starts from tomorrow~
