There is a very big difference in studying in Hong Kong and in the UK. In Hong Kong, the education system is extremely competitive and exam oriented. The teachers are very performance focused and their only focus is on getting students to memorize the syllabus and do well in the exams. In contrast, the teaching style in the UK is quite laid back, the teachers are more concerned about us understanding the concepts and knowing our opinions on it. This makes it easier for us to remember the theories and concepts. The workload in Hong Kong is a lot more than here. Teachers give a lot of homework and expect it back in a shorter time in Hong Kong compared to the UK. Friendships are according to the general rule everywhere, if you like someone and you have a mutual understanding, you will get along, no matter where you are. The class sizes are much bigger in Hong Kong than here, at least double or more of its number.
