Whether you are a local or non-local student, a new or returning resident, living in the Student Residence provides many opportunities for having fun, learning about new cultures and ideas, and growing as a person. But for each individual person come individual challenges that may get in the way of the total enjoyment that living in a hall can bring.

Increasing and maintaining your satisfaction with life in the residence hall can be as simple as starting with your room-, toilet-, and floor-mates. Get to know them and the cultures from which they come. An effective way of do this is to spend time in the Common Room of your floor and your hall, where your fellow residents spend time. All individual halls, led by the Residence Master, Residence Tutors and Residents’ Association, as well as the SRO, join together to organise community events such as cultural celebrations and inter-hall competitions. Do not forget to mark in your diary the forthcoming community events - the Joint-Hall Mid-Autumn Festival Celebrations on the night of 21 September 2010 at Multi-function Hall A and the Inter-hall Aquatic Competition at the CityU Swimming pool in the afternoon of 25 September 2010. Join the events and you will find that you quickly make friends and become increasingly more fulfilled with your personal hall experience.
