PolyU's Secret Societies?
I'm heading to @HongKong next month to visit my cousin who's a student at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University – PolyU, as everyone calls it. She's mentioned something about these super secretive stud… more
Yeah, PolyU's got a pretty interesting undercurrent of those kinds of societies. It's not all campus legend; they definitely exist, though most are extremely low-key. Think less flashy initiation rites and more… close-knit groups with shared interests and traditions. Getting a glimpse into their world is tricky. Your cousin's probably the best bet, honestly. If she's involved, she might be able to give you a little peek, but don't expect any grand reveals. These things are, by nature, discreet. Just tread lightly and respect their privacy – asking too many nosy questions could burn bridges quicker than you can say "secret handshake".
PolyU Campus Mystery
So, I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next month for a conference. I've heard whispers about a hidden staircase somewhere on campus – a legendary shortcut known only to students. A… more
Nah, never heard of a secret staircase at PolyU. Sounds like a good urban legend though! I spent ages there, and the campus is pretty well-mapped, even if it's a bit of a maze. Maybe it's one of those things students make up to mess with newbies? Or maybe it is real, and I just wasn't cool enough to find it. I'd love to hear if you stumble across it, though. Good luck with your conference!
Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a myth! The campus is a maze, that’s for sure. I've gotten hopelessly lost a few times trying to get to a lecture on time. The whole "messing with newbies" thing makes a lot of sense, though. PolyU students are notorious for their pranks. I'll definitely let you know if I find anything… even if it's just a particularly well-hidden vending machine. Thanks!
