Is HKUST scholarship enough to help you live in HK?
Submitted by Anonymous on Sun, 2011-11-13 06:38Hello! I really like your website, it has a lot of useful information. I live in London, and I just graduated from Imperial College. I am now considering an offer from HKUST to do an MPhil in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. If you don't mind, I would like to ask the following: 1) I will be getting a scholarship of HK$ 135000 per month. After paying the tuition fee, I think I will having HK$ 10000 left. Do you think this money is enough for surviving and having a decent life in HK? 2) Is it easy to find a single room in the student halls of HKUST?
