Sparrow University
In the process of enrollment over the years, the size of the school is generally one of the important contents. The large area of the school also represents the large scale of the school and good development prospects, which can give students sufficient study and living space. However, there is a university in China. Although it occupies the last place in the national famous schools, it has made many students rush to go.

The name of this university is The Open University of Hong Kong, which is located in Kowloon City, China. Founded in 1989, formerly known as The Open Learning Institute of Hong Kong. 1997 was officially upgraded from a junior college to a university, becoming the seventh statutory university in Hong Kong. Unlike other universities, which cover thousands of acres, this university has only 1 building.

The state attaches great importance to education and hopes to improve the cultural quality of the people, so the money spent on education in recent years is not a small sum. In order to let students study with peace of mind, the teaching conditions and measures of the school have been improving. I believe many friends have had the experience of moving to campus. It is precisely because of the school's enrollment expansion that such a situation will occur.

However, although the Open University of Hong Kong covers a small area, the sparrow is small and complete, with perfect teaching facilities, library, study room and lecture room. Although the library area is not large, it is rich in books and students can borrow them directly. The study room is in short supply, but the learning atmosphere inside is very good, and all the positions have been effectively used; Moreover, the lecture room is small, well-equipped and sufficient.

There are more than 9,600 students now, and there are many departments in the school, among which the main departments are the Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences and Lee Shau Kee Institute of Business Administration. And there are many research institutes and affiliated institutions-The Open University of Hong Kong Press. The current president is Professor Huang Yushan, and the supervisor is Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, the fifth Chief Executive of Hong Kong.

The Open University of Hong Kong is small in scale because it didn't want to be a full-time university when it was founded. Its original intention is to let students choose their study time freely through online teaching, and they don't have to stick to the school, which is what people used to call "TV University".

Therefore, when The Open University of Hong Kong was first established, the leaders agreed that it was not only time-consuming and laborious, but also costly to build the campus too big. But at 200 1, the university began to offer full-time courses, and students had to attend classes at school, so this area would be a bit crowded.

However, it is difficult to expand the school area at this time, because the economy of Hong Kong was many times more prosperous than that of the mainland, and the funds needed to build a school in Hong Kong may be able to build more than 10 schools in the mainland, which is relatively high.

Coupled with the land and money in Hong Kong, many poor people can't even find a place to live, so they can only live in a simple single room of several square meters. Therefore, in that case, it is not enough to have sufficient funds. Land resources are scarce, and money may not be able to coordinate land issues.

However, although the teaching conditions are somewhat difficult, the teaching quality of The Open University of Hong Kong is still good, even gaining international recognition. It also joined the Commonwealth Higher Education Alliance, enjoying high international honor. Famous writer Mo Yan, gambling king Stanley Ho, billionaire Li Ka-shing and real estate tycoon Lee Shau Kee are all honorary doctors of the university. Therefore, while providing a good educational environment, we should not forget that the quality of teaching should be given priority. what do you think?
