Kudos for starting the thread!
I have spent some time on the campus and would encourage anyone looking at a school in Asia to seriously consider HKUST.
I will get more info about the school to post.

I am in. Been searching lots of discussions between HKUST and NUS/NTU and finally i decide HK is much better on not only the Great China but also on Asia's point of view.
. What was the first thing that intrigued you when you were there besides the diversity? it is suprising 92% are non-HKs but then again it is not a huge province.... The building kinda looked like an office building not very flashy though...
