Don’t dream it’s over: mainland students rethink Hong Kong over costs, culture
Mainland Chinese student Carol Chen, a maths and statistics graduate from Baptist University in Hong Kong, is reconsidering staying in Hong Kong due to high living costs, particularly rent, which would consume half her expected HK$20,000 starting salary as a junior data analyst. Language barriers further complicate her decision to remain in the city.
