Thank you all for sharing your experiences and opinions. It's disappointing to hear that lectures are listening/note taking centric. Since many of the professors (at HKUST not HKU) attended prestegous North American Universities I would hope for small duscussion based lectures. With regarding to making friends, I wonder if living in residence or joining clubs would help unless its a language barrier. I'm starting to think staying at a n. american university would be a safer option, its unfortunate that one would become so disadvantaged just by attending a school in a different country. Anyways, thanks again.

Hi, I just got accepted to The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology for a Masters in Electrical Engineering. I haven't been able to find much information on them other than from their website and international rankings (they placed pretty high) which are both pretty vague. Anyone have any experience or thoughts about them? Would a masters degree from say UofT or McGill be better regarded than a degree from HKUST if I were to apply for jobs in North America afterwards? Thanks
