House rules
Students trust this guide. We keep it that way.
- Every placement is labelled 廣告 Advertisement. No disguised sponsored content, ever.
- Legal & Safety and Resources stay ad-free. So do emergency numbers and visa rules.
- No visa agents, unlicensed estate agents, payday lenders, crypto or anything that preys on new arrivals.
- Editorial is never for sale. Partners can sponsor a station, not change what it says.
- One partner per category per station, so a bank never sits next to its rival.
