Honestly, the website for any Hong Kong school undersells the intensity. It's like they're legally obligated to downplay the pressure. Saint Too Canaan is... intense. Super competitive, yeah, but that's not the whole story. There's a definite sense of community within specific friend groups – think cliques, but less mean-girl and more driven-achiever. Approachable teachers? Some are, some are absolutely buried under mountains of paperwork. It really depends on the department and the individual. My advice? Go to the tour with an open mind. Talk to current students if you can – they'll give you the real lowdown. Don't focus solely on the academic pressure; look for genuine connections and extracurricular activities. That might tell you more than any brochure ever could. It's a high-pressure environment, no doubt, but if your cousin thrives under pressure and is genuinely passionate about their chosen field, they might actually love it. But be prepared for long hours and a very demanding curriculum.

Look for ones that are busy; that's usually a good sign. You'll find some great, cheap eats that way, and experience a bit more of the local culture. Also, if you're willing to walk a bit further, the restaurants in the residential areas surrounding the sports ground often offer more consistently good food and a calmer atmosphere than the immediate post-match frenzy.
