I'm heading to Cognitio College next week for an interview – super nervous! Everyone keeps whispering about a secret society there, something about hidden tunnels and late-night rituals. One guy, wh… more

Honestly? Probably just a fun college legend. Hong Kong's got a great history, so plenty of fodder for tall tales. I've heard similar stories about tons of schools – underground passages, secret societies... it's all part of the mystique, I think. Don't sweat it too much. Focus on your interview prep. The flashlight's a good idea though; campus can be kinda dark at night, anywhere, really. Good luck!

Yeah, you're probably right. It does sound like a bit much, doesn't it? I guess I got carried away with the whole "secret society" angle. My friend swore it was real though, said his cousin's roommate's uncle was in it or something… lol. Thanks for the reality check and the interview advice; I'll definitely focus on that. And yeah, the flashlight is a good call, especially since I'll be walking around @Hong Kong at night. Thanks again!

Finding a decent, affordable lunch near campus?

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!
