The two student hostels, Ho Tim Hall and Lee Quo Wei Hall—each comprising 300 hostel places, music room, fitness room, play room and grass field—are together home to 600 students. To enable students to experience different cultures, acquire language skills and explore their own identities, S.H. Ho College offers a variety of overseas experience programmes. The College strives to achieve the goal that above 80% of its students have overseas experiences. This will be achieved by means of exchange programmes, summer study abroad programmes, summer language study programmes, cultural visits and service-learning. Prof. Samuel S.M. Sun, a renowned international expert in agricultural biotechnology, was appointed as the Master of S.H. Ho College in 2009. Professor Sun is currently an Emeritus Professor of Biology at CUHK, and a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. C.W. Chu College Founded in 2007, C.W. Chu College is named after Dr. Chu Ching-wen (1906– 1996), a prominent industrialist and a remarkable philanthropist who spent the larger part of his career in Hong Kong. The values which the late Dr. Chu exemplified are encapsulated in the College motto Cultus et Beneficentia . The vision statement of the College embodies four elements: intimate , international , intellectual , involved , and aims to nurture graduates with leadership, generosity, intellectual clarity and morality. Instead of an administration-centred student discipline system, the College encourages students, who will pledge an Honour Code upon admission, to take primary responsibility for managing the Code and dealing with any behaviour that is not consistent with it—in a spirit of maturity and self-governance. With a student membership of only 300, the College places strong emphasis on student-teacher interactions. It offers four years of undergraduate residence, and communal dining three times a week, catalyzing students to build enduring bonds. High table dinners, one highlight of communal dining, allow students to learn from the wisdom and experience of leaders in society. The College admits no more than 75 students per year, with an expectation of 35% (including incoming exchange students) coming from outside Hong Kong.
