If you are paying your own way, study anywhere you like. if your parents are paying the bill, try going to a local community college. In case you havent heard, the global economy is down. And your parents may need all their extra cash.

Both are very expensive cities to live in so I hope you have taken that into consideration. Of the two though, I would recommend Hong Kong. I'll admit, I have a personal bias. Hong Kong is seriously one of my favorite cities in the world. I never lived there though, but I have visited four times over the past couple years. a) The food is amazing. If you have never had it, go to your nearest dim sum restaurant tonight. However good it is, the dim sum in Hong Kong will definitely be better and cheaper. b) There is a strong expat community. A lot of business professionals have made Hong Kong home. It is easy to make friends and share the experience of living abroad together. c) I don't know what university you are looking into, but many of the universities in Hong Kong are rated as some of the best in Asia. These schools also have strong International business programs if that is something that interests you. d) The nightlife is awesome, but expensive. Expect to pay $8+ a drink. That's about all I can share. Good luck and if you are looking for some study abroad programs in Hong Kong, check out this site: www.go-study-abroad.com Cheers, Andrew
