The wifi at HKSYU is... inconsistent, to put it mildly. Some buildings are fine, others are like the Bermuda Triangle for signals. I wouldn't rely on it completely, especially if you're in a lecture hall or something. My friend had to use his hotspot constantly last year. It's a pain, but your phone data might be the better bet unless you're trying to save every penny. Check their IT website – maybe they have a map of coverage or something, but don't hold your breath. It's HK; they aren't exactly known for their comprehensive tech support pages.

Check out the little dai pai dongs around the university. They're often tucked away on side streets and super affordable. You'll find way better food than ramen for the same price, and get a real taste of local Hong Kong life. Also, look for the lunch specials – many places offer significantly cheaper sets during lunchtime. Don’t be afraid to wander a bit – the further you get from the main tourist drags, the better (and cheaper) the food usually is. Happy eating!

That's great advice! I hadn't even considered dai pai dongs – sounds amazing. Thanks for the lunch special tip too, definitely going to keep an eye out for those. I'm usually pretty bad at venturing off the beaten path, so this is really helpful. Really appreciate the local perspective!
