Free ! Really free

The lowest university rank in Hong Kong. Some professor English level is extremely low. You don’t feel like this is a university because they lack of campus facility with only two huge buildings for the students. Most of the student just come here to go to class and then usually directly go back home. The school is quite flexible because they don't take any attendance in my major. The only advantage for me is the university is in Hong Kong. That's it !

A wonderful opportunity to learn design and live Italy.

Learning design in the city of Florence is almost automatic, because the eyes watch captivating art, history and good taste in every corner, everyday. Studying a Master in Interior Design at F.I.D.I. was an experience that deeply enriched my life. In terms of space, the Institute is an excellent example of European Interior Design: well-conserved facade and frescoes of the 1700's on the ceilings and walls mix with new materials and pieces of contemporary furniture, creating a balanced, unique and intimate atmosphere. As I came from a very large university with many campuses in my country, F.I.D.I.'s attention to detail, neatness and personalization felt exquisite. Lessons were given in small groups, teachers are well prepared and actually enjoy what they are doing. From them I learned to observe closely, in order to start designing with quality, always respecting and appreciating the value of places and objects. Possibly the two things I would change are: 1) that teachers plan new projects for their new students to work. Florence has too many highlights and, as I keep in touch with the Institute at social media, I see that they are still making one of the projects that was asigned to my generation 7 years ago, and 2) that it lasted longer. Masters are usually longer to give students a steady formation.

Literature

The University is located near a town making it reacheable easily. Smart planning of the lecture halls;no need for long walks from place to place The university administration is now keen on supporting cocurricular activities where students are benefitting largely.
