Thumbs up Flying and attending University in HK...

Hi there...

I'd like to know from pilots from any airline based in HK if it is possible to fly and also attend University. I've been doing some research and there are some Universities such as Baptist U, Science and Tech and some others and here's some stuff I've come up with...

-Depending on what course you choose you will be regarded as an annoyance to the class and the teacher because the class will ask you to leave since you are the only non-Chinese speaker.

-There are Cathay pilots that I've heard that can actually attend courses mostly on-line and attend in person just for exams etc...

So if you are actually doing it please give me a light here, I'd like to know which Universities are "schedule-friendly" and done mostly in English...

thanks

I heard one works in cabin crew and studying in the HKU as a full time student, she told me her approach is calling sick when she has exam.
But she also mentioned the company doesn't allow full time study so she has concealed from the company.
Hope this helps
