University Experience

I don't know if it's because I major in Computer Science, but most of the professors who are in charge of the major courses teach very well. They have detailed explanations with step-by-step examples that are easy to learn. The student body is mostly locals and mainlanders but you can definitely find your own niche with international students as well and make friends from India, Indonesia, and Korea. I lived in CWChu College. They had three washing machines and four driers with a balcony where you could dry your clothes below the sun. The machines are usually free if its not near the weekends. The college is quite isolated but I'd say its facilities is one of the best. The food around university is mediocre, but you could eat out once a week and you should be fine. The food won't fit you if you have high standards. The campus is also the best in Hong Kong and the most university-like in terms of scale. The campus is closely intertwined with nature and you can definitely see and feel the greenness well. The buildings are quite old but they serve their purpose. In my opinion, CUHK is a decent university with great professors and students.

My studies at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University

I SKIP CLASSES! I'm currently enrolled at the hong kong polytechnic university.... That is how my review should start rationally, right? But, here is a thing - I'm enrolled in the university and the last time I have been to lectures was half a year ago! It is supposed to be my 2nd year now, but due to the protests, coronavirus I'm on the online teaching for half a year!!!
