I was an exchange student in HK when I was younger and I partied almost all the time. I think I spent more time in LKF than at campus:) I became an investment banker, returned and lived there for over 10 years, made six figures and would do it all over again. The lesson is: Remember to have lots of fun. You live once. You'll be alright.

Totally agree as a local student. The atmosphere of UST is quite comparative.
Some students are afraid others better than them, so hiding their strength and pretending to be weak on study.
Just like discussing assignments or finding internship, they will not telling something what might benefits others.

The first thing to deal with before entering HKUST is don’t think that others are all better than ourselves. This may hurt our performance fatally

As a Year 4 student studying at HKUST, I totally agree. Both the academic pressure and peer pressure are killing me😶.

I am a current student at HKUST.
According to my observations, HKUST is a great university with high teaching quality and a great learning environment.
I enjoy studying with my friends in the library. When I have problems, I can easily approach my professor and TA. Teachers are patient with students and even willing to have lunch or dinner with me to share more about life experiences.
It all depends on what you want and how you treat others. When you treat others with honesty and love, they will treat you the same way.

I Graduated from HKUST with a very low score, and it is haunting me until these days, although i’m currently doing well in my master degree in Australia.

For someone that trying to survive with low score, all of your option is limited, you cannot get into better major (i received my finance major stream since admission which I regretted so much), you cannot go into exchange and forced to keep going with no option left.

On other part, you also limited to submit ur cv, as some company have fix limit, asking ur gpa in the begining…

In addition.. the comparison mindset, will haunt you.. it will degrade all your achievements in the future, believing that you will always be “below average” compare to your peers..

Choose carefully

I’m studying in HKUST, and I strongly advice those who is studying soon, DO NOT CHOOSE HKUST. If you ask me of why did I choose HKUST. Well, I had offer from POLYU, Cityu, and HKUST, I chose HKUST due to my parent’s expectation.

Hi there!! I'm from Mexico and I'll be going to study at CUHK next term. Not gonna lie, I'm extremely nervous for many things. I guess one of my biggest concerns is if I'll be able to make friends in general, local or international for being a foreigner. I was actually surprised about you speaking to a mexican guy! That's nice!! I'm glad he could help you out. Tu español es muy bueno, felicidades!! You deffinetly made me release some stress about studying there, still the nerves are on haha. Cheers!

I’m about to finish my first year at UST and this video just hammered home the mistake I made in coming to this uni…

Although I am academically oriented, I struggle under stress, I hate competing with others and I want to enjoy some partying once in a while. I kinda feel like transferring to CUHK as I have some friends and seniors I know over there

[cottonjack]

I will be an exchange student at HKUST in Fall/Winter, I really hope its not that bad, because I procrastinate way too much haha.
Are the classes currently online or at campus?

PS: Do you know if the exchange students also get a new email adress for HKUST? (Or do I use the one from my home university?)

[Brandon-LU]

I am currently lost at the South Gate of our Uni...

[ismailadrammeh]

Oh, oh! I have just submitted my application to HKUST but this video is so scary.

[OZIGamingTR]

I'm happy as long as I can meet my scholarship requirement! Though.. what do you think about CUHK? I have decent academics but would like a more balanced work-social life if possible.

[anmoldaftary]

I have gotten an admissions offer from HKUST with a full tuition conditional scholarship🥳, but it requires me to maintain a 3.000 CGA in all years of uni, is it difficult to obtain a 3.0 CGA per year?
