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 in a recognised Hostel.
The University Hostels are three in number—Lugard Hall, Eliot Hall, and May Hall.
Recognised Hostels are at present two in number—Morrison Hall, situate immediately above the University grounds and conducted by the London Missionary Society, and St. John's Hall, immediately opposite the front of the University, conducted by the Church Missionary Society.
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, by the courtesy of the school authorities, arrangements have been made for their lodging in connection with St. Stephen's Girls' College.

University fees for tuition and board amount to $550 per annum, enabling a student who lives carefully to meet the whole of his expenses with a sum of $1,000 per annum, as compared with a minimum sum of $2,500 per annum, besides travelling expenses, in the case of a Chinese student going abroad for his education.
Numerous scholarships are available, including the King Edward VII Scholarships founded by His Majesty's Government, the President's Scholarships founded by His Excellency the President of China, together with Scholarships (some of which are in the nature of bursaries) given by the Hongkong Government, the Chinese Government, the Metropolitan District of Peking, the Provincial Governments of Canton, Chihli, Yunnan and Hupeh, the Governments of the Straits Settlements and the Federated Malay States, the Government of Kedah and the Siamese Government. Students are also drawn from the Philippines, French Indo-China and Australasia.
During 1922 honorary degrees were conferred upon His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, Sir Charles Addis, K.C.M.G., and the late Mr. E. H. Sharp, K.C., a member of the Governor's Executive Council. A benefaction of $500,000 was received from the Rockefeller Foundation for the foundation of full-time Chairs in Medicine and Surgery. The complete scheme includes a grant of a further sum of $250,000 for a full-time Chair of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and provides for the creation of complete medical units for the teaching of the three subjects in the Government Civil Hospital. The University is to make provision out of its own funds for assistants to the professors of Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology, and it is desired to erect
