As there are limited hall places, student residents need to go through the returning scheme every residential year, which is a scoring system that determines whether you have a hall place next residential year. Of which your personal achievement, GPA, contribution to the hall, participation in hall activities, etc., would be scored. The higher score you get, the higher chance you can have a hall place for the next residential year.

There are 14 undergraduate residential halls in the Student Residence. You can indicate your hall preferences after settling the confirmation fee. Still, it is not guaranteed that you will be assigned to your desired hall.
