<p>To All: I received an e-mail from Daisy Lai that I have a Skype interview with IBGM.</p>

<p>Can anyone tell me how the IBGM interview goes?? The video-telephone thing is new to me,</p>

<p>@HKUBIZ I am INDONESIAN student currently studying in HKU :slight_smile:
Only a few indonesians in HKU… but more Koreans… International FULL-TIME STUDENTS, we are really close with each other. :slight_smile: You willl see a lot of foreigners around Campus, they could be full-time international students or exchange!
Here is a quick stat…</p>

<p>okay so ive got my letters of acceptance from both HKU and HKUST and now i am VERY conflicted as to which one to go to… The main attraction HKUST holds for me is that the campus is gorgeous and its ranked as no.26 in engineering worldwide and np.35 overall… HKU on the other hand is no.24 in the world overall but specifically in engineering is no.63 but its right in the centre of the city so that means ill be close to pretty much every place in town… HKUST is a 35 mins drive from the city and that is definitely going to be a drag… HKU is also older than HKUST and is hence more recognized which might help in the future… but i can deny that HKUST is WAY better in engineering and is pretty as hell… PLEASE some one help me with not just one word answers but reasons too… PLEASE !!!</p>

2133

<p>cant deny that*</p>

2134

<p>Well, you described everything yourself pretty well.
Let’s make a really quick C++ program to decide:</p>

<h1>include <iostream></iostream></h1>

<h1>include <string></string></h1>

<p>using namespace std;</p>

<p>bool whereToAttend (bool eng, bool cityLove, bool natureLove, bool dontMindComm)
{
bool engineering = eng;
bool cityLover = cityLove ;
bool natureLover = natureLove ;
bool doesntMindCommuting = dontMindComm;
int HKUST = 0;
int HKU = 0;</p>

<p>if (engineering) { HKUST+=1; }
else {HKU+=1;}
if (cityLover) {HKU+=1;}
elseif(natureLover && doesntMindCommuting){HKUST+=2;}
else {HKUST+=1;}</p>

<p>if (HKUST == HKU) { cout << “Flip a coin!” << endl; }
elseif (HKUST > HKU) { cout << “Attend HKUST!” << endl; }
else {cout << “Attend HKU!” << endl; }
return 0;
}
int main()
{
//plug in your variables into the function and see where you’ll attend!!
whereToAttend(eng, cityLove, natureLove, dontMindComm);
}</p>

<p>//LOL!</p>

<p>LOL, thx y’all. I was actually typing that in a big rush because people were calling me to go get lunch… =P
It’s been almost two years since I’ve written any C++ at college, but since it’s extremely simple, it should be fine and should compile, but could be more elegant for your case. It would be cooler to make a more complex one that calculates the amount of scholarship you get, able to factor in how important an aspect of each college is for you, calculate in respect to world rankings, etc, BUT, it’s all too subjective, so I was just having a little bit of fun at work. =D</p>
