08 A Home Away from Home You can apply to live in any of the University of Hong Kong’s residential halls or colleges. From the castle-like University Hall to the modern colleges in the Jockey Club Student Village IV, there is always a place to call home. These residences, suiting a variety of tastes and interests, offer you more than simply a place to rest, but also create a unique community that nurtures residents’ social development, fosters global citizenship and stimulates intellectual discussion. Among our residences, Madam S. H. Ho Residence for Medical Students and Patrick Manson Student Residence fall under the Faculty’s management. Senior medical students undergoing clinical training are eligible to stay at these residences during specific specialty clerkships, as their proximity to the hospital allows more medical and nursing students to attend clinical training. In response to a growing student population at HKUMed, these two residences will be under redevelopment for increased capacity and modelized facilities; 700 places will be available to benefit more students after two phases of construction. Better Together Campus life at HKUMed is enriching, enjoyable and educational. You are free to engage with the HKUMed community in a wide range of activities, from social outings like hiking, to festive celebrations like Christmas parties or any seasonal events. You are welcome to take part in a supportive environment for holistic development during your time here. In addition, the vast variety of student-run organisations at HKUMed enable you to explore the medical field beyond the classroom. These societies are open to all students within the Medical Faculty to foster a spirit of comradeship and professional unity among future healthcare professionals. You can also join other interest groups and student societies to engage with your peers, volunteer in healthcare-related activities, or simply have fun! UNDERGRADUATE PROSPECTUS ｜ 2024
