    More and more mainland high school graduates are considering attending universities in Hong Kong. They feel that attractive scholarships, the high quality of education and a chance to experience a different culture present a good opportunity.

   At Fudan University’s Handan campus, nearly 800 local high school graduates have attended an admission interview for Hong Kong University (HKU). The candidates have already passed the national college entrance exam and an HKU written test. HKU applicants in the mainland are 10,000 students this year, more than doubling last year’s applicants.

  “Most of the applicants are excellent high school graduates with outstanding performance in the national college entrance exam,” Cui Jijia, an official with HKU’s Shanghai office, said.
