McStudents

At two o'clock in the morning, McDonald's on Hing Yip street opposite APM in Kwun Tong is filled with people.

The bright lights from the fast food restaurant illuminate the quiet street corner.

On the second floor, clusters of night owls fill the restaurant with chatter and excitement.

Fong Yum-cha, an applied biology student at the City University of Hong Kong, sits hunched over his notes at one of the tables.

'It's relaxing here,' he says. 'I can't study at home. There are too many distractions. If I was home now, I'm pretty sure I would be lazing on the couch, watching TV.'

With public study rooms full of Form Five and Seven students, the restaurant provides an ideal place for the Year One student to prepare for his exams.
