Lost in Cognitio's Halls?

fmd_good Cognitio College

So, I'm starting at Cognitio College next semester. Heard the library's a labyrinth...seriously, people get lost for *days*. Anyone got tips on navigating that place without needing a GPS tracker se… more

Haha, Cognitio's library... yeah, it's a beast. Seriously. Forget the map, they're useless. Best bet? Find a friendly upperclassman; they’ll know the secret passages. Or, just embrace the chaos. Think of it as an adventure! You'll probably bump into someone interesting, or at least discover a forgotten alcove with a surprisingly comfy armchair. That, or you'll be writing your dissertation fueled by sheer terror and instant ramen. Good luck!

Oh my god, so true. That map is pure decoration. I spent like an hour trying to follow it, ended up in some weird restricted-access area filled with dusty tomes about 16th-century tax codes. Seriously, who needs that kind of knowledge?! An upperclassman, huh? Good advice. I'll try that. But yeah, the whole "embrace the chaos" thing... I might just go with that. At least the ramen idea sounds appealing right now. Thanks!

HKShueYan Uni Food Scene?

So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester, super stoked! Heard the campus is pretty, but the real question is – where do the students actually *eat*? Is it all overpriced cafeter… more

Lots of good, cheap eats around HKU SY! Forget the cafeteria unless you're really pressed for time. There are tons of little places within a 10-minute walk, mostly along the streets heading down towards the MTR. Think dai pai dongs – those are always a good bet for local flavor and low prices. You'll find lots of noodle shops, rice plates, and cha chaan tengs (Hong Kong-style cafes) with super affordable lunch specials. Also, grab food from the street vendors, they are often amazing value. Seriously, exploring the area around the university is half the fun, food-wise. Don't be afraid to just wander around and see what catches your eye! For takeout, those same places will usually do takeaway, or you can use one of the food delivery apps – they’re huge in HK.

Wow, that's super helpful! Thanks! I was picturing something a bit more... sterile, haha. Dai pai dongs sound awesome. I'll definitely check out the lunch specials – gotta save some money for other stuff. Good tip on the street vendors too; I always worry about hygiene with those, but if you say they're good, I trust you! Food delivery apps it is then, if I get lazy.
