HSUHK Jockey Club Residential Colleges
HSUHK is grateful for the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust for the donation of HK$200 million towards the construction cost of the HSUHK Jockey Club Residential Colleges, with about 1,200 students accommodated in these three blocks of residence halls with four colleges including Mosaic College, Wellness College, Amity College and Evergreen College. As part of the Master Campus Expansion Plan, the three blocks of residence halls adopt a model similar to “Residential Colleges (RC)” which combines living and learning for students to learn and to engage in self-improvement to develop interpersonal networks, and to nurture students a sense of commitment and self-discipline.
