Dear MSc econ students,
This email is addressed only to MSc econ studs who are currently accommodated in PG hall.
Probably all of you know that there has been an across-the-board shortage of student housing problem in HKUST. Despite the fact that University has been employing various measures to solve this problem, the shortage problem is forseen to become more severe in the near future because of the increase in non-local UG quota announced in the Chief Executive’s Policy Address. In the long run, the problem is expected to be completely resolved as The Education Bureau (EDB) will identify land to develop student halls. Since this resolution will take years to materialise, the immediate solution for spring semester will resort to relocation of students from PG hall to 3-storey houses in Tai Po Tsai, where is more spacious and students can enjoy better living environment.
A meeting is organised for you by MSc program office on coming Monday concerning relocation policy.
Time: 3:30pm
Date: Oct 22 (Monday)
Venue: classroom 3311 (lift 17-18).
Please attend this meeting, and more details about relocation issue will be given by Prof Qiu/Prof Hua to you. A site visit will be held right after meeting.
Regards,
Celia
Remember the campus protests from “You Can’t Do THAT In China!”? Well, the postgraduate students appear to be an integral part in the University’s final solution. Take a look.

Well, I would like to move to the opposite dorms where I can see the sea………….But you are really talented !!!
I want to move there,at least it is near HKUST.By the way ,I am in HKIED..but,it seems impossible
For the non-HKUST readers, 16 of our classmates are housed in HKIED, the Hong Kong Institute of Education. This location is a forty-five minute to one hour bus ride from campus. It is in use due to the current shortage of on campus accommodation, but it is unknown whether or not these students will have the option to move into this new, closer facility.

good video!But I still have no idea whether to move or not.
That place is a dump! I think the university should pay you to live there. Nice video. It must be hard living in a country where everyone is an ESL student. It is in-ev-a-tably in-eva-table. It’s what? It’s in-web-a-table, God, open your f#ck@ing ears!
