As others have pointed out HK is
not very international, if you want an INTL learning environment study in CAN/US/UK etc. but right now nothing is certain with 'going abroad'. Where are you coming from?
Also you can get a quality education from lesser/un-ranked schools (those rankings aren't all they're cracked up to be), it really depends what you'll be doing after you get a BA?
HK is damned expensive, if you don't get a spot in the subsidized dormitory you'll need a min $5000/m for a tiny little place in an old building. As an undergrad I'm sure you could eat cheaply (not well), tuition is not cheap either and varies from school to school. Look here for an idea of rent prices:

The medium of instruction is English, so no, unless you're applying for a linguistics program. Keep in mind you may have a mix of interviewers, 1 local /1 foreign, so you don't want to alienate one of them. Study the materials they give you just prior to the interview (usually a set of questions). Prepare numerous possible questions related to your potential major and answers to them. You do this by researching the program (read EVERYTHING on their website), look up the people in the dept and see what they teach/do (academic staff should have published papers you can at least read an abstract of).
Try not to be too scripted if you're interviewed by a foreign professor (honestly not sure of local ones prefer this), listen carefully and address the questions put to you, don't just read an answer you prepared that sort of covers it.
Good luck!
