Hi,
I just got an admission and scholarship offer from HKUST International Enrichment Program. It is a four year program which gives BSc degree. I am interested in maths and physics and will probably go into research. Should I accept my offer? How good is this university in terms of quality of teaching and research opportunities? I have applied to other universities in UK and USA but they give out offers in march and april. I have to accept my HKUST offer till 20th January.
Their website link is this http://science.ust.hk/education.html
Do you know anyone who I could talk to about HKUST? Facebook or email would be great.
Also HKU and cambridge will give out offers in january so should I wait for them?
Thank you.
