Housing
Before departure, you’ll complete an application for university housing. HKUST will assign your room based on your preferences and availability. You can expect your roommate(s) to speak English, though some more fluently than others.
Dorm
Students tend to love the dorms at HKUST. Although small and simple, many of the rooms have gorgeous waterfront views. The rooms, which are doubles or triples, may have a bunk bed or multiple twin beds. You’ll find shared bathrooms, TV rooms, and microwave pantries (partial kitchens) on each floor. Returnees often compare the halls to a fraternity or sorority at UC. Dorm life is filled with group activities, a sense of camaraderie, and plenty of hall pride. Students often stay up late at night to work on projects and socialize, so expect it to be lively at night.
