<p>Work for 3 years and then get an MBA :D</p>
<p>@kawaiigurl- i think every hall has a dancing team, which sounded cool, im just nervous i wont understand anything they talk about! but i saw a white guy in one of them once, i think he was an exchange student, so if he can do it so can i…lol. and i think they have a theatre club for acting and stuff, i think the halls have non-serious sports team, like intramural. starr hall claims to have a very novice volleyball team with ppl who have never played before! they have band, debate, and choir too in i think all the halls? they at least have them in lee shau kee hall.</p>
<p>Did anyone of you guys get something from hku regarding student visa yet? We think we are suppose to get one soon right?</p>
<p>Oh and also, which hall are you guys planning to choose? I am thinking that those two in the campus would be nice.</p>
<p>Yea can someone please describe the halls in more detail for us :(? I have no idea which one to choose! :S</p>
<p>@michelleger: Oh…so the clubs are separated by halls? wow that seems cool though 
Thanks!</p>
<p>you guys can go to their student affairs office website to have a greater detail on housing.</p>

<p>Almost 30% of LSE’s undergrads are Asians, and most of them go back to work in their own countries. So there is a network to be built, esp. if you consider LSE’s alumni which includes:</p>
<p>*Taro Aso (PM, Japan)
*Sher Bahadur Deuba (PM, Nepal)
*Sri K. R. Narayanan (President, India)</p>
<p>With regards to the other point, London has consistently been voted the best city in the UK for its restaurants, nightlife and entertainment.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>LSE has the most interntional students in the world at 60%. Not so long ago, its students represented more countires than that represented by United Nations. In short, the cultural diversity here cannot be found anywhere.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I am a proud Asian, love HKUST, but seriously believe LSE has to offer what no other university can.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The same’s the case with the Ivy League and all other big schools of Amercia. And for the record, international student competition at HKUST is quite cut throat too; they only take straight-A studentss</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I enjoyed your description. Throughly :)</p>
<p>Uhh…sorry what is LSE?</p>
<p>@kawaiigurl: LSE = London School of Economics</p>
<p>i decided not to reply as to end the argument :D</p>
<p>Whatever that LSE can provide is not what I want and that is why it will not be my first choice. If you want to ramble about how LSE rocks , I bet there is dozens of threads already set up for it.</p>
<p>I think any top 100 university rocks as there are probably over 10,000 universities in the world :)</p>
<p>Ahh, I just found out today that I can’t apply for the halls in HKUST until JULY. I checked the website for all the UG halls, and they seem decent enough except for the fact that bathrooms are shared…</p>
<p>Anyways, gotta go back on studying math…<em>screams silently</em></p>
<p>Math HL = (■■■)^100!</p>
<p>I’m a international student studying at HKUST now for the semester. If you have any questions about life at UST, I can try to answer them!</p>
<p>@kawaiigurl- sort of, each hall has like the same basic set of clubs, like choir, band, dance, debate, etc. the halls compete against eachother in these things in friendly competition i think. depending on what hall you choose, different clubs will be stronger, like one hall may be good for sports teams, and one may be good for debate or something. older halls apparently have deeper cultures, and newer ones sort of lose this. </p>
<p>@SDG1- my understanding of the student visa was fill in your app ASAP as it takes like at least 2 months to process. have you sent yours in yet? i havent and im so tense because of it! i honestly have just not made the time for it since all my ECs were sort of coming to their peak just last week for championships and things like that(my poor excuses…). but now theyre all over, just in time for AP exams, woot =P</p>
<p>@theGame-i appreciated your thoughts, and thought it was just your educated opinion which im sure is what was intended! =D</p>
<p>thanks man! finally I found someone :)</p>
<p>i just failed math. -_-</p>
<p>Long time no see guys.

<p>@vivace13: Wow, so your an actual student at HKUST? Hey, Iv got some questions!
- For Engineering, (mechanical for me) which school is better between HKUST and HKU?
- How is the environment at HKUST? IS it new and modernized?
- I heard the workload for engineering at HKUST is rigorous. Is this true?</p>
<p>@everyone: Just so you know, we can take a part-time job for up to 10 hours a week (May be different. I don’t quite rmb…). This is what I heard from a real UST student when she visited my school… I saw somebody saying student-visa is not allowed to work, but we actually are permitted to work. She also said she knows lots of international people secretly work more than that by tutoring teens.</p>
<p>@rubichino: that’s odd that people with student visa are not allowed to work, but we are actually allowed to work? haha anyways, I guess it’s a good thing since we can earn a little pocket money after all =]</p>
<p>@TheGrand: I think I also failed math too…but I’m in SL…so I shouldnt have failed but I think I did =s</p>
<p>wow *** HL Math P2 was so hard. Hardest math paper I have ever done. Paper 1 was so much better…</p>
