Anyone have an educated opinion on the international reputation of HKU or HKUST graduate schools? If you are a grad student at one of these schools, could you please send me an e-mail? Thanks!! Thanks Jack, that's very helpful! Does he have any opinion on HKU as well?

My dad worked at HKUST. We live in Canada now. He's from the most prestigeous school in China, I won't name it. He says HKUST is great, even suggests that I should go to it to pursue a master's degree in engineering after I finish undergrad.

It always helps to learn the local language however, in HK Cantonese is the main dialect spoken not Mandarin.
2 :
Welcome to Hong Kong. It definitely better if you know chinese, also if you could speak Cantonese. At least, you can work in local newspaper not just English one. :)
3 :
Especially if you can read and write Chinese.

Let me ask you a few question first!! What type of part time job u looking for? With a student visa in Hong Kong it might not be possible for u to work at all! but in many place people do hire people without any work premit as it is cheaper for them but for sure you are looking at job under $20hkd an hour. Teaching english maybe a good idea for you. pritive tutor in hong kong is not cheap at all! normally u get more than $60hkd an hour and sometimes up to $120. (teaching school children's english age 10-15) In hong kong most indian and bangla people work in restaurant or shops in tourist areas sellingwatches and digital cameras

The spoken language in Hong Kong is Cantonese and that's dramatically different from Mandarin Chinese. Chinese has 5 tones, Cantonese has 9 tones. However, more and more people in Hong Kong learn to speak Chinese now but it's also a foreign language for them. What definitely helps is being able to read and write Chinese even though Hong Kong uses the non-simplified characters whilst you most likely learn the simplified characters of Mainland China. Nevertheless it's a good start already and it will be easier for you to pick up Cantonese if you already know Chinese.

What is the best college in HONG KONG?
What is the best College in Hong KOng that has the same rules like USA colleges? Like having to choose whatever subjects Students want to study and simply going there to apply for college rather having HKCEE passes and all. And what is the best Liberal ARTs program or enrollment college in HONG KONG? Please help if there is any.

i have not a clue. but that sounds like it'd be really fun to go
2 :
Actually studying in Hong Kong will drive you crazy except you really like the major that you are going to study. Having HKCEE results means nothing, moreover, colleges in HK focus on BUSINESS and SCIENCE more than L. ARTS.

yes i think

You will need a multi-entry visa in order to re-enter China. Your single entry is good for one trip in to and out of the mainland. If you go to Hong Kong, you will need to get another visa to return to Shenzhen. Talk to the company you are doing your internship with about multi-entry so you don't have to reapply every time you go to Hong Kong. Those in Shenzhen frequently have multiple-entry visas. Good luck!
3 :
yes
4 :
No, you don't need a visa. Please check the link below for details.
5 :
Yeah, you can.
6 :
You probably don't need a visa for Hong Kong (but you haven't told us your nationality), but you certainly would need a new visa to return to the mainland.
7 :
No..... As soon as you leave China your valid becomes invalid. It maybe an idea to visit Hong Kong when your visa runs out and then fly home from Hong Kong.
8 :
Your only entry has been used up when coming to China. You need another entry to come back to China again from HK. It is visa free for citizens from many countries to visit HK. If you are not from the 33 countries on the control list, you can easily re-apply for a new China visa in HK. In short, your nationality is quite important when talking about the visas. May I know what your nationality is? Source: http://www.cn-visa.com/china_visa_faqs.asp
9 :
No you can't visit Hong Kong. Visiting Hong Kong means leaving China (though Hong Kong is technically part of China). You would then need to reapply for a visa just to get back into Shenzhen. What you could do is visit a Chinese consulate office and ask them to change your visa to a multi-entry.
10 :
Nope. Even though HK is part of China, you'd have to exit China in order to go to HK. If u haven't already gotten your visa, apply for a multi-entry visa. thats your only solution.

If you get out of China mainland, you may not get in again with your single visa, if you wanna go to HK, you may just put your final station in HK, after you visit HK, then take off in HK.see more information, http://zjj.fortune998.com.cn/,http://wuyuan.fortune998.com.cn/,http://slortune998.com.cn/
