Cognitio College Conundrum?

fmd_good Cognitio College

So, I'm thinking of applying to Cognitio College next year. Heard the campus is...intense. Like, seriously intense. All that talk about "holistic learning" and "experiential education" sounds kinda… more

Yeah, Cognitio's vibe is… unique. It's not your typical lecture-hall experience, that's for sure. The whole "experiential learning" thing is real, but it's not all group hugs and trust falls. There's definitely structured learning, just presented differently. Think less rote memorization, more application-based projects and independent study. It's intense because you're kinda thrown in the deep end and expected to swim. If you thrive on structure and clear-cut assignments, you might find it a bit chaotic at first. But if you can adapt and embrace the less traditional approach, you'll probably learn a lot, even if it's not in the way you initially expected. Honestly, the "self-discovery" bit is kinda cringe, but the practical skills you gain are legit.

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, planning a day trip from Central. Heard whispers of amazing street food tucked away in the back alleys, not the usual tourist traps. Anyone know where to find t… more

Forget the guidebooks. Head towards the residential areas near the MTR station. Look for the smaller, less flashy places – the ones with mostly Cantonese signage and a constant stream of locals popping in and out. Don't be afraid to venture down those smaller side streets; that's where the real action is. Trust your gut; if it looks busy and smells amazing, it probably is. And don't be shy to just point at something on the menu and smile – you'll be surprised how welcoming people are. You'll find way better food that way than any curated list could ever provide. Happy eating!

That's awesome advice! I'm definitely going to try that approach. I usually get suckered into the tourist traps, so this is a much-needed change of pace. Thanks for the tips; I'll report back on my culinary adventure!
