<p>kenhungkk: Suicide rates doesn’t mean anything. My high school recorded at least 3 every year until my year. </p>
<p>Suicidal mostly concerns with special individuals that feel the program is too overwhelming and can’t take the pressure.</p>
<p>But, I do take your word because nothing is better than a local’s point of view.</p>
<p>Would you mind if I PMed a question to you??</p>
<p>Having it written, I do admit that suicidal rates are some indicator of an intensiveness of </p>
<p>a school. But not all…</p>
<p>I just surfed on the web and found out that HKUST’s engineering dept was found to be the 5th best in asia and 25th in the world.
WOW…!! THATs something…
n do not wrry bou the suicidal rates … it is common in every college. It just depends on how one manages your course work and time. You can very well manage your play,fun and study if u want to… this is wot i say from pers experience…</p>
<p>Is it that if u dont get into hall 7 … ur fun life is screwed …??</p>
<p>Is HKU BBA Accounting and Finance major a three-year course or four-year course?
I heard HK is changing its education system?</p>
<p>oldnite1: I’m not sure, but I think it will depend on whether you completed a foundation</p>
<p>year or not. Look up the HKUST website. It must contain the details.</p>
<p>I got and offer of admission from the University of Amsterdam today! Same programme as HKU (humanities). The choice isnt hard, I’m going to HKU! </p>
<p>Anyways, I have a completely random question I hope some of you can answer: I read somewhere that the beds in the halls are really small. I’m 6’4. Will the bed be too small? </p>
<p>@kenhungkk - Glad to read that the local perspective is that HKU rocks the humanities:D</p>
<p>@Alec: Youre 6’4?! that’s crazy! Do you have dutch ancestry or something?</p>
<p>@kyubaek: so do you think having completed the IB Diploma will allow me to skip my foundation year?</p>
<p>HKU’s application status checker is online!!! Mine still says “under consideration” though :(.</p>
<p>@rebecca1234: Sorry for the late reply, I’ve been so busy with schoolwork. ^^; I live in Eastern Canada, so chances are you probably haven’t heard of the uni before, haha. I’m a bit afraid to say the name in a public forum because classmates might be able to recognize it’s me. I’ll PM you the university if you want though!</p>
<p>Ok, I just paid my application fee for HKUST, but I still get the pop-up saying that I need to submit my application. Did this happen to you? I thought that perhaps HKUST was just waiting for the money to transfer but now I’m not too sure. I put in my dad’s credit card number and then I had a pop-up that said “Transaction Details”. It basically looked like this: <a href=“http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/9730/hkusttransaction2.png[/url]”>http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/9730/hkusttransaction2.png</a></p>
<p>Should I have continued on? I thought it was over because the screen that came up was about securing/activating an option offered by the bank for my dad’s credit card, which I wasn’t interested in doing, and there wasn’t any other link to continue…</p>
<p>@Anand: I though you were favoring HKUST?</p>
<p>@jiceo1: Are you studying at UCLA?</p>
<p>@AlecDluz: If I was you, I would go to Uni of Amsterdam :P</p>
<p>Maybe you should mention your height when you apply for accomodation.</p>
<p>@Lordxxx- i am still favouring HKUST over HKU because HKUST seems better for engineering …But i hear stories of how hard the course in HKUST is and that makes me think otherwise…i think both options are good but i guess ill have to decide soon…
did you get an offer from HKU?? scholarship??</p>
<p>@Alecduz- I am 6’1 and i was concerned about the same earlier as i hear the rooms are really cramped but yeah, you are waaay taller…
you might want to check it with the admission /housing office…</p>
<p>-oldnite1: I think that’s the way of it. I’m not sure though. It’s best to ask the school</p>
<p>about it. I asked the prof about it during the interview and they kindly told me.</p>
<p>-EliteGeek: So does mine…</p>
<p>-AlecDluz: Damn you’re tall… My cousin brother is 6’6 and I have to look up at him every</p>
<p>time I meet him…</p>
<p>Well, it’s not that bad sleeping in fetal-postition all the time, I guess, haha. </p>
<p>@LordXXX - Why Amsterdam U over HKU? </p>
<p>(I actually am in a bit of a doubt myself, as I got into the AUC departement, which is established as a small selective Honours college, and “co-owned” by Amsterdam University and VU Amsterdam University. Regarding academic issues, economic issues (cheaper to study in Netherlands), and future prospects, I think this might be a “safer” choice than HKU. On the other hand, living in the Netherlands will be rather similar to living in Norway…)</p>
<p>Nevermind, I figured it out. ><</p>
<p>One (hopefully) last question, what documentation can I provide to prove “Documentation related to studies taken which the language of instruction was English”? I know it’s probably something really obvious but it’s not coming to me at the moment, haha…</p>
<p>A textbook? I’m assuming its something along the lines of that, though I haven’t heard any of my relatives talking about documentation of any sort…</p>
<p>I got an email from HKU, in which says that i made an admission offer for BBA acc&fin.</p>
<p>But, when i checked online status on the HKU website, my app status under BBA acc&fin is still under consideration.</p>
<p>does anyone has a similar situation? I am very confused…</p>
<p>HKUSTYAY: Dont worry mate Hk Universities tend to update the online system a bit later than the release of the actual decision…</p>
<p>Hello ppl</p>
<p>I just received a letter from HKU saying tat my application will be given a provisional consideration by the faculties concerned. If the faculties decides to give me an (conditional) offer, they will notify me separately.</p>
<p>Since um not done wid my A lvls nd will be sitting for it in May/June, they want me to fulfill the minimum entrance requirement of achieving 2 E’s in Advanced Level and want me to let them knw the results by 20th Aug.</p>
<p>My Stats:
International Student (Bangladeshi) doing Edexcel curriculum
I applied for: Bsc Econ nd Finance
