Hong Kong To-do: edit purge Clean up all MTR station pages. They are literally all over the place. Two model pages are Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. They each describe a feature special to the station, Station layout, exit, and connections, as well as neighbouring stations and the station "box". We will also need plenty of updated pictures (e.g. removing all KCR-related images except those on the KCR article). Check that all pages have basically the same language structure as Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. Links to location maps are good too. (Should also perform these checks on Chinese Wikipedia.) Clean-up pages that link with TVB, especially its series pages.

[edit] Annual Function run by Student Affair Office and students' societies to students in the South East Asia

There is two activities organized by HKUST to South East Asia:

1) Delta Forum

      The Business Students’ Union, Engineering Students’ Union, and Science Students'
 Association of HKUST jointly organize a program entitled “Delta Forum’ for tertiary
 students of the Pan-Pearl River Delta region. The Delta Forum is a program which aims to
 stimulate our fellow students’ awareness of the cultural, social and economic influences
 of the Pan-Pearl River Delta Region and to provide an opportunity for students from
 different backgrounds to exchange and share intellectually as well as culturally.
      In Delta Forum 2007, international exposure and cultural exchange will also be a
 special new feature. We plan to invite university students from Singapore, Malaysia and 
Australia to join the Delta Forum. It will help to widen the participants’ exposure and
 perspective through the sharing and exchange.

2) Aearu Camp

      The Association of East Asian Research Universities (AEARU) was formed in January 1996
 to promote cooperation and exchange among universities in East Asia.AEARU bring stogether
 17 universities from the following regions: Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea 
 and Taiwan. These universities all have significant strengths in science and technology,
 sharing common traits in their academic profiles, educationalgoals, R&D interest and 
 faculty composition. Being in the same geographical area, they also share a similar
 culture and a strong sense of affinitywith one another. AEARU was formed to identify 
 areas of mutual interest for productive collaboration and the AEARU Student Camp is one
  of the activities organized to achieve this.
 
      The first AEARU Student Camp was held at Pohang University of Science and Technology
(POSTECH) in South Korea in 1997. Since 1998 summer, four AEARU Student Camps (Topical)
 were held at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) . All of them were
 successfully held. After four years, the Student Camp (General) will be held in HKUST.

[edit] Unnecessary information

This article needs a wikiedit as it contains many unnecessary information which is not related to the university itself. One of these examples are "hair salon prices" etc...

List of clubs is highly excessive. Please remove links. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.40.139.109 (talk) 14:05, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Edited Introduction, History as well as Campus section. Will continue as time allows.
