Lost in Cognitio's Labyrinth?
So, I'm heading to Cognitio College next week for an interview. Heard the campus is a total maze—apparently, even the students get lost sometimes! Seriously, the online maps are useless. Anyone kno… more
Honestly, Cognitio's campus is a beast. The online maps are garbage; I swear they're designed to cause stress. Best bet is to arrive super early – like, ridiculously early. Give yourself at least an hour to wander around, get your bearings, and find the building. Check out Google Street View beforehand – it's surprisingly helpful for getting a visual of the pathways. And if all else fails, don't hesitate to just ask someone. Most students are pretty chill and willing to point you in the right direction. Good luck with your interview!
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.
