Transport. Sorted.
Ok this may not apply to just everyone but to me it was a key factor. The question I kept asking myself was "How do I get from the Airport to the University?". At first I was glad to hear that the school provided the students with coaches but unfortunately this year because everyone was coming at different times they decided not to do this. This annoyed me because I had so much to prepare that this problem would add the the ever growing pile of worries the gathered on my shoulders. Not Pleasant I may add. So I had to browse the options myself.
1. Cab/Taxi/private coach (which you can order and have them pick you up from the airport).
Tips:
Cons: Unless you are close to the airport I wouldn't recommend hiring the taxi because it
is EXPENSIVE for me it was around £200. Which is around $2000HKD! So if you
have friends there already or a group of students from your university has organized a
trip together... GO!
Pros: 1.It is a direct
2. You dont have to worry about baggage limitations (like on the bus) or how to deal
with your oversized suitcase.
2. Airport Bus:
These buses can be found in each airport. Heathrow, Gatwick etc.
Here is a list of shuttlebuses from shuttlebuses you can take:
1. Heathrow shuttle
2. National Express
3. Oxford buses
Tips:
Cons: 1.You have baggage limitations such as 2 medium sized luggages 1 hand luggage if you
want to know about National Express shuttle.
Pros: 1.Most of the buses go to around 500 destinations which is really good.
2. Most of the Shuttle bus tickets can be bought online in advance.
3. All of the Shuttle buses are relatively cheap.

- The Underground

Pros and Cons: These are quite self explanatory. It's just the question of whether you are willing to lug your suitcase on public transport.
