The Student Residence provides on-campus accommodation for almost 3,700 students. Most of the residence halls cluster at Cornwall Street, forming a complex of student dormitories about 10 minutes away from the main campus on foot. In addition to the Student Residence at Cornwall Street, Jockey Club House on the main campus also provides accommodation for students.
Due to limited availability, accommodation at Student Residence is not guaranteed. For allocation criteria, please refer to the website of the Student Residence Office (SRO).

If you need to find a place to stay temporarily, click here to browse through the list of licensed hotels, guesthouses and youth hostels in Hong Kong. Note that Hong Kong law requires that guesthouses and youth hostels obtain a license issued by the Office of Licensing Authority (OLA) under the Home Affairs Department before opening for business. It is always in your best interest to stay exclusively at guesthouses and youth hostels that are licensed and monitored by the government. To identify licensed guesthouses, look for the OLA logo.
