A House System is in operation to promote campus life. There are a total of
five Houses. Each House is associated with an undergraduate hall. Residents
of an undergraduate hall are members of the same House. Non-residential
undergraduate students are encouraged to join any of the Houses during
the first two weeks of Fall Semester when Houses recruit new members, or
they will be randomly assigned membership in a House. Postgraduate students,
residential or non-residential, may join any of the Houses.
Under the guidance of Wardens and Tutors, Houses provide basic
social units for student activities. In each House, there is a
good mix of students by gender, school, year of study and residential
status. Life within the Houses can facilitate interaction among students from different
backgrounds and the development of leadership ability.
In each House, there is a House Students' Association formed by
students themselves. The House Students' Associations work
closely with the Wardens and Tutors, as well as among themselves
in the promotion of campus life for members, including members of their
Associations and for House members as a whole.
A series of inter-house sports and cultural competitions are also organized. Students
are encouraged to take part in these activities as organizers, team members and
participants. |
