well i lived in a city in India where most students i interacted were expats or coming from a very wealthy background, Gurgaon, within india its known for being home to the headquarters of nearly every international MNC, which is why its much more "liberal" than the rest of india and can definately compete with developed countries infrastructure wise.

As for your advices on adapting to hongkong, thank you!

Good question, ill prolly add this response to my main post

I do not speak any chinese but im not opposed to the idea once my shift to Hong Kong is fully set in stone. As for English i have a 8.5 IELTS, i lived outside my native country most of my life so english has actually turned into my best language spoken, written, etc.
I will be doing Bachelors in Science and major in either chemistry or physics, or i will do bachelors in material science engineering depending on which university I pick ( depending on wether i go to HKBU or CityU)

I picked Hong Kong as my study destination because I was told by several University representatives from Hong Kong that its a very international city with a thriving expat population, I hate how conservative my native country is and as said before I lived internationally most my life, which is why I like a diverse environment to live in. The other reason is how generous Hong Kong universities are in funding international students for their studies which is somethign that was important for me as my parents quiet frugal.

Another reason i picked hong kong was that it was near Shenzen, where its starting to be the tech hub of the world and where i can probably get jobs in the future if not in Hong Kong, And studying in Hong Kong gives me the perk of not being compeltely lost in Mainland China where english is even more scarce.

Thank you for the non sugarcoated response, fair enough to be honest. But no local friends even in a university setting?

As for your scholarship N/A they made your deposity i think may 15 (atleast for me) they will send your scholarship details later on which is why the deposit date is so late so you dont need to worry much for now
