A Liberal Arts Uni for Student Transformation

I've completed a Bachelor and a Master degree there. The uni is small (the smallest in HK), and to me it was just perfect, e.g. low student-to-faculty ratio, 100% on-campus housing, good food from the Chinese restaurant on campus. All academic building are within short walking distance, and you can reach a supermarket, post office and convenient store within a 10-minute walk. International students may find dorm life a bit challenging because only induction cooktops and microwaves are available and no cooking with fire is allowed in all student dorms.

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 !

University life

This university is really a known place. What I like about the uni is the study space is calm, and the environment is good. The study also taught me very well. What is disliked is it was a lack of communication between one another, but everyone was very kind and genuine.
