The Information Day generated active response rose from audiences. A junior girl from Beijing Normal University at Zhuhai said she had been preparing to study in Hong Kong for a long time and this event helped a lot. Present parents found the on-spot consultance and briefing sessions offered lots of valuable information on postgraduate study needed from their children. They hope there would be more activities like this in the future.
