Saint Too Canaan College Experiences?

fmd_good Saint Too Canaan College

So, I'm heading to this college next week for a campus tour. My younger cousin is applying, and honestly, the website is… underwhelming. It's all very formal and doesn't really give you a feel for t… more

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.

Yeah, the ICC restaurants are notoriously pricey. You're not alone! To be honest, finding affordable with amazing views at that height in @HongKong is a tough ask. Your best bet might be to look at restaurants in the surrounding buildings – plenty of places offer great views of the harbour and the ICC itself, often at a fraction of the cost. Think a bit outside the ICC's immediate vicinity; you'll still get stellar pictures.

That's a really good point! I hadn't thought about looking at restaurants in nearby buildings. Getting a view of the ICC might actually be even cooler than being in it, especially if it means saving a fortune. Thanks for the tip!
