Lingnan University from Merve

About accommodation, does the university have any dorms for students or do students have to find accommodation on their own? If the university has the accommodation opportunity for students, is it easy to get into the dorms? If the student has to find on his/her own, is there any easy way to search it such as site, application or anything else.

The university offers its dormitory, therefore it is easy to get into the dorms.

 

For students, in order to have no problem while they are going to university, which places would you recommend them to find room?

All dorms are very close to the main campus, so it does not matter which one that you choose.

 

According to classes in Koç University, do you think the university you went was harder or not? How many courses you recommend them to take to prevent any difficulty?

Actually two of them have same hardness level for courses. Only problem is that lessons in Lingan is longer than Koç.

If I compare with Koç, I said that:

Koç: 5/10

Lingan University: 6/10

Do you think the campus utilities were satisfied? Why?

I think it was satisfied. I only use classes and the library and the library was good so I like it.

 

As a student who live in the city that the university is located, how is the life around the city?

It was really nice! If you like big cities, HK is a good option. There are too many shopping malls, public transportation options and hiking routes.

 

What do you think about students clubs? Did you join any of them? Which one is your favorite?

Actually I did not join any club. But I also do not remember the active students club.

 

Could you tell us about the cafes and dining centers in the university? Did you find any Turkish Restaurant next to the university or in the city?

Actually there is limited options for Turkish Restaurant. I only remember a Turkish restaurant close to Ladies market.

 

How was the library? Is it easy to find a spot in average day or in the exam week? What kind of utilities has the library? If anyone wants somewhere except the library, what woulf you recommend them?

The library is large and very quite so I think it is very suitable to study.

 

Does the university have any sport clubs? What kind of sports are famous and fun to play in the university? Is there any swimming pool?

It has many options for sport. Karate, basketball, judo are sports which I remember. Yes it has open swimming pool.

 

If anyone wants to play instrument, could they find any place easily? Is there any instruments that are taught during the semester?

I do not have information

 

For the courses, do we need to buy books or is it any cheaper way to get it?

It depends on the course but you can borrow from local students their books.

 

Is there any health clinics in the university? What can students in case of emergency or injury?

There is a little shopping mall which is close to the dorms. In the shopping mall, there is a little clinic. If you show your student card and passport you pay 20 HKD.

 

Is there any bank automat in the campus? What does a student do if they wanna have bank account? Does it necessary? Do locals in the university area mostly use credit card or cash? Is it necessary to bring some cash with us?

They generally accept your bank/credit cards. I did not open any account.

 

During the Visa application, do you have any recommendations or something that is not easily found online that you may share with other students to help them out in this long process? Which parts do students need to focus on?

The university apply to visa for you. You need to collect the documents which they ask and pay the visa money. It takes 1 months to get your visa therefore make sure that you provide all documents that needed.
