I don't know which province you are a student, but these should all be 2-form colleges ~
The score of HKUST in Table 2 is not low, and it is a local university, table 1.
In Tianjin, it ranks sixth after Tianda, Nankai and Finance, but it is definitely ahead of the University of Technology. The school has two campuses and the environment is very good.
There are many students and strong teachers in the art department.
Since you are not a science student, you should take the art test, so it is much more important to consider HKUST than engineering.
