哇，你的經驗真值得參考，因為你兩國的大學都有女兒讀！你意思是美國大學的水平高過英國？同時，你覺得點解多人選擇留在美國而不留在英國？

I see. Wish I could hear those touching stories as well. But how do we define touching? For me I feel touched when I really feel someone is truly scarifying for another. This is just an example. So touching or not is quite subjective. And I am thinking about students from HK, especially those in DGS, CIS and HKIS, all have a relatively excellent family background. I am really curious what their touched stories are.

I was told that famous US universities have quotas for Chinese ethnic students. When filling in the application forms, the applicants need to fill in the place of origin, like Canton or Sichuan (四川). The surname of the applicant also tells ethnic group. Is it true?
