Studying in Hong Kong

fmd_good Hong Kong Shue Yan University

So, I'm starting my semester at this university in a few weeks. I've heard the campus is pretty spread out. Anyone know the best way to get around between classes – is there a good campus bus system… more

Depends on which university. HKU is pretty hilly and spread out, the campus bus is okay but often crowded. MTR is faster for sure, especially if your classes are in different buildings. But factor in walking time to and from the station – it can add up! If you're really worried about being late, maybe look at a nearby apartment instead of one super far from campus. Walking's good exercise, though, so I wouldn't completely write it off. You'll figure it out. Just give yourself extra time at first, and download Google Maps – it's your best friend in @Hongkong.

Yeah, that makes sense. I hadn't really thought about the campus layout that much. HKU was my top choice, but the travel time is a bit of a concern. Google Maps is already on my phone, lol. Thanks for the heads-up about the bus – crowded buses are my least favorite. I guess finding somewhere reasonably close is key then. Maybe I should start looking at property listings near the MTR stations.

fmd_good Saint Too Canaan College

So, I'm heading to Saint Too Canaan College next week for a conference. Heard it's got this crazy legend about a hidden room somewhere in the old wing – supposedly filled with old yearbooks and lost… more

Nah, never heard of that specific legend. Saint Too Canaan College is pretty old though, so I wouldn't be surprised if some weird stuff was tucked away somewhere. Old schools are like labyrinths; you could spend a week exploring and still miss things. Good luck finding your hidden room of 70s treasures! Maybe check out the college's alumni association website? They might have some old photos or info that could point you in the right direction. Or just wander around – that's half the fun, right?
