I'm having difficulties finding a place in Shatin as well. Like you, Pmatarrese, I'm starting a Masters program in August. At this point im considering a serviced apartment for the length of the one year program, even in Kowloon or HK island. The train is super convenient. Are you looking for a place thats already furnished?
I wouldnt mind a flat share either, but looking at pictures of the residence halls they have, the only thing i like about them is the price. They look pretty horrid. If your interested in a roomie give me a message. btw, im pretty fluent in Cantonese
Does anyone know of a decent serviced apartment 6-8k in Shatin, Kowloon, or HK island?
