Imperial or HKU

I know very few people would be in my situation
I am from HK
and I have got an offer from both the best medical school in HK (there are only two medical schools in HK btw)

and an offer from Imperial

I want to work in HK in the future (sometime after graduation)
If I study at Imperial, I need to do another liscence test in HK after graduation.
If I study in HK, I do not need to do that liscence test after graduation(which ppl in HK say it is designed to fail you)

But in my opinion imperial is a better medical school than HKU...like international reputation and facility...

Which one should i choose?

I think in your situation it'll be easier if you study at HKU.
Sure, Imperial does enjoy its worldwide reputation and excellent facilities, but if you want to stay in HK and HKU is the best uni in HK and on top of that all that licence exams and stuff, I think its better for you to stay in HK - it'll make your life a lot easier in my opinion. Go for whats best for you, not after a uni's reputation or facilities, unless HKU really sucks in quality which Im sure it isnt.

in HKU - for one it's easier to find work in HK after plus you won't have to pay outrageous international fees for Imperial. £35000 a year for the clinical years is probably the most expensive in the UK!

the international fees for imperial are obscene - if you want to work in Hong Kong, go there. Looks like a nice place too.
