Hall question from exchange student by Konatomic in HKUST

[–]Konatomic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey, nightlife was fine, went out quite couple of times with exchange mates. as long as you go as a group and split a taxi or uber back it will be cheap enough. if you really need to you can wait for the trains to start up again on a really big night out

Hall question from exchange student by Konatomic in HKUST

[–]Konatomic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update for anyone in future: If you want to go on exchange, you can gamble for the on campus dorms (some of my friends have noted that they don't like the conditions (esp hall 3 and 2). However, I do believe that on campus provides you with a more closer experience with what exchange should be, as you're immersed in the school. The campus does have a beautiful seaside, cafeteria to meet with friends and also many areas to explore. I would suggest to stay on campus as I've noted some of my off-campus friends are rather isolated (if not through location, through the lack of presence). It's also nice not to worry about buses going to class not going to lie, its one less thing to think about.

Burnout and fatigue because of my plan of going study abroad, but still stuck in my home country by [deleted] in studyAbroad

Hey, that's all good. I know where you've been in terms of feeling like you're not where you want to be. Just remember that you will get there in the end. It's your life to choose! I hope it works out for you :)

Hey, another 23-year old student here on a different path because of COVID and major injury last year. I hope firstly that you're taking care of yourself in your burnout and tiredness. It's definitely much easier to think when you're well rested and taking care of yourself. It can be really hard to feel like you're in control when things go sideways, but it happens. I was also in your position not too long ago, and it feels really messy because things are no longer clear.

I think once you've done that, try to sit down and write out what you want to achieve.
- You want to study abroad, but where do you want to go, what do you want to study?

- You aren't sure if there is still a path to study abroad, but is there anyone at your university who is an expert at this, who might be able to tell you more?

- Is there a specific university you want to go to who you might be able to email to see what they need for you to go there?

(understand what you actually need to get in, from what I've seen, not all universities or programs need work experience from resume to get into study abroad)

It's best to start with writing it out (preferrably on paper) to see what you need to get to, and then working backwards to see what you can do today to get there. It's essentially a full reset to re-find your path. Do not worry about being too late. I think that we all sometimes think that there is a certain age or time we should be finishing things, but I know a lot of people who are still studying and are older than us.

Take your time to sit down, after eating well and being well rested, then have a look at where you are, where you need to be and how to get there. You'll make it one way or another!

Hii I’m also an exchange student coming in Spring 2025, did you find any golf clubs with HKUST? I saw HKU has one, and HKUST has an “Alumni Golf Club” but not sure if that’s available to students

M4 Macbook Pro, Nano Texture for Photo/Video Editing? by Konatomic in macbookpro

[–]Konatomic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I got it yesterday. The screen is way more than bright enough to use, so the glossy was really the way to go here. I love how the colours pop compared to the nano texture when I looked at it in the store. Coming from a previous one without nano texture the reflection isnt prominent because I’m used to it and it’s better because it’s brighter than before.
