If you're enrolling in city u of hk (not sure if same as HKU), try this place; my son stayed there for 6 months before he moved into apt and it's 10 minutes to city u:

Very nice and safe location.
City University is located in Yau Yat Chuen/Kowloon Tong.. It's adjacent to the Kowloon Tong MTR station and next to a large shopping mall, Festival Walk. Relatively low rise area.
HKU is on Hong Kong Island, in the Western Mid-Levels area. So you probably want to find something on HK Island. Something around Mid-Levels or Pokfulam.
