“Diverse, Dynamic, Vibrant and Active”

“……we, postgraduates, grow together with the House……”

“Graduate House helped me to settle down in Hong Kong. It also allowed me to meet and get involved in various activities with many brilliant students from different years and research fields. The House itself organized several events where I can learn more about the Chinese culture. I especially enjoyed the music sharing nights which uncovered the beauty of Chinese music to me: from songs on the traditional instruments, such as pipa or guzheng, to Suzhou Pingtan and Kunqu and Cantonese opera performances.”

“Thanks to Graduate House. Friends and activities here give me a feeling of home. It was my friends that helped me overcome the difficulty last September. We would like to say "Go back home!" when going back to the House. Having been living here must be the best part of my PhD study in HKU.”

“What would be more fun than having a joint event between my favorite club and my warm hall? The joint English workshop jointly presented by Graduate House and HKU ASA Toastmasters Club was one of the coolest activities I've ever been involved in. I was so thrilled that many of my dear hall mates actively took roles to run the workshop together. It was a quite successful workshop and all of us had a blast!”

Cui Xingmin
"……amidst sharing my knowledge on ecosystem with a group of children during the social service activity, 'A day with the kids' at the Wetland Park, I lost my voice and burnt out my energy, yet I was at cloud nine…… not only giving me the opportunity to serve the community, I too learned new experiences from the children……"
Samuel Wang
"…… an amazing place which embraces the charm of simplicity and diversity, integrates the power of freedom and obligation, appreciates innovation and respects tradition, it is a cool hall that inspires intellectual interaction, encourages bearing of social responsibility, cultivates humanity and love of nature from a more mature perspective, it provides a platform on which people of different ages, origins and ideas broaden horizons by listening to different voices and sharing diverse experiences ……"

"……This year's Lantern Festival was quite special for me, because I celebrated it with my dear friends---residents in Graduate House instead of my family. …… the Master surprised us with a bottle of champagne, creating warmer and unforgettable moments…I love our big family!"
Jiao Fangfang
"……Most importantly, it builds a big family which shields people from ignorance, vulgarity and callousness. It is permanent home for people with passion for pursuit of truth and love; it is where they learn to be considerate, open-minded and prepared to make the world a better place……"

"……last Winter Solstice was special and memorable as it felt like home; enjoying with new friends in my new 'home', the Graduate House…… giving me a sense of belonging, just like a family……"

Life in Graduate House – Live it, Love it

It was really a long way for us to travel 2,300 KM from Northeast China to Hong Kong. During the day long travel, we came across people of different culture from all over the world and everything seems unfamiliar. But the feeling of arriving Graduate House is from one home to another home: comfortable, warm and full of love. Residents helped us a lot during the check-in and made us felt comfortable in the new campus environment.

Living in Graduate House is a wonderful experience. North is the sea, surrounding is the green mountain, the air is really enjoyable. Every morning the singing birds wake us up; opening the window comes in the forest fresh smells; walking around, everyone is saying morning. What a wonderful morning!

Outsides the house, flowers bloom throughout the year. Butterflies and bees are roving around our House. The pink flowers, the green grass and the deep blue sky, all inducing good emotions on us throughout the day.

In the House, we chat, we read, we play piano, we play Ping Pong, we have Christmas parties, we climb the mountain behind and we BBQ together with all the residents like a family.

Well, if using one sentence to describe the life in Graduate House, it is the old way – Live it, Love it!
