It seems WVU has finally gotten around to billing me for my room (per the exchange agreement). I’m living in an exclusive international section of Arnold Hall (which happens to be thousands of miles from Prospect St.) in a double room for $1,750 per semester.
The Lingnan hostel fee for 2005-06 averaged a bit under HK$4,400 = US$565.76.
I’m getting the short end of the exchange here…

But how does the tuition compare?
I hadn’t even thought of that, since our statewide addiction to gambling is paying for mine at WVU–I have 2,238 reasons per semester to be grateful. That’s in-state tuition, so I’ll compare to Lingnan’s local rates (what’s being paid on the other side of the exchange): HK$21,050/semester = US$2,706. That narrows the gap a little.
Thinking of the nonsense the Lingnan -> WVU students must have to go through to get a visa, we’re probably about financially even when it’s over.
So you’re telling me I have to set aside my loathing of the HotSpot?
