Unless exempted from residence (such exemption being ordinarily granted on the ground that the student's "manner of life" is not such as is catered for in the hostels), every matriculated student is required to reside either in a University or recognised hostel.
The University hostels are three in number—Lugard Hall, Eliot Hall and May Hall.
Recognised hostels are at present three in number—Morrison Hall, situated immediately above the University grounds and conducted by the London Missionary Society, St. John's Hall, immediately opposite the front of the University, conducted by the Church Missionary Society and Ricci Hall which is situated in Pokfulam Road and is conducted by the Irish Jesuits. It was opened in January 1930.
Each student occupies a separate room or cubicle, and there are the usual common rooms. Each University hostel is in charge of a member of the staff, as resident warden.
No University hostel at present exists for women students—whose right to admission to the University was first recognised in 1921: but some arrangements for the accommodation of a few women students in a rented building have been made by the authorities of St. Stephen's Girls' College, a Church of England girls' school which is near the University. The nuns of a neighbouring Italian convent are also prepared to house a few women students.
The tuition fee is $400—the hostel fee which includes board and lodging is $300. Students who are allowed to live in a hostel during vacation—some have to because of their work, e.g. medical students, and others because their homes are too far away—pay at the rate of $8 a week. When a student joins he is required to deposit caution money to the extent of $25, and to pay a registration fee of $5. The annual subscription to the University Union is $20 and this covers the annual subscription to practically all the athletic clubs. The graduation fee is $25. Probably about $1,400 represents the minimum amount which at present prices would cover a student's annual expenses including vacations. It would cost a Chinese student who goes abroad $4,500 a year at the very least and this would not cover travelling expenses.
Numerous scholarships are available, including the King Edward VII Scholarships founded by His Majesty's Government.
There are also scholarships provided by the Government of Hong Kong, and by private individuals and firms.
The Union is the centre of the social life of the students. It is at once a Club and a centre of athletics. The Union Committee contains certain members of the University teaching staff, but its President and Secretary are undergraduates elected by the undergraduates. The undergraduate members of the Committee are also elected by their fellow students. There is a Union magazine with
