The campus was very large and modern. You have to choose your accommodation carefully because one part is completely renovated and the other not at all. There is a gym which is practical, a swimming pool, basketball and tennis courts, several places to eat on campus. The campus is in the north of Hong Kong, in a very quiet location but close to transport to easily get anywhere in Hong Kong. Kowloon Tong is super safe!

The campus is huge and amazing: canteen, gym, tennis/basketball/rugby/football courts, pool, theatre club… even a Starbucks with 30% off. The atmosphere is always lively because we’re all living together on campus. Registration process: Well-organized but watch out for deadlines. They’re super responsive if you have problems.

Spring 2025
Campus is chill and very pleasant with many spots to hang out. Registration is a bit long but not complicated. HKBU is not as central as HKU or Poly U but it is fun and full of exchange students. Professors are relaxed, you do not need to attend every class as long as you show up for important assignments and exams.

Fall 2024
Registration Easy, Campus very cool lots of facilities (gym, tennis, football stadium, swimming pool...everything to make you practice sport ;) ! Yes 100%, the only negative point is that the uni is far 15-20min from MTR station
