Chinese mainland students get it coming and going. Not only do they face international student costs when coming to the US without a scholarship, they will have to pay more if they opt to go to a Hong Kong University as well.
Three Hong Kong universities will raise tuition fees up to HK$60,000 ($7,715).
The price for four years at the University of Hong Kong will be HK$330,000 ($40K+).
The number of scholarships that will be available is also going up to 60 from 48.
The reason for the increase is to recover mainland student recruitment costs.
The next raise in tuition costs will not happen before 2010, promised a Hong Kong official.
American schools could use a promise like that - no more tuition raises for at least 5 years.
That would be nice, eh?
What do you think?
