hi thanks for the dorm tour!! lap chee is definitely one of my two choices now lol i'm a 2nd year but couldn't come to hku last year due to covid so this is my first time applying!! i have one question though, how strict are the rules really for dorms in jockey 3?? i heard they are strict on not decorating rooms but i saw yours and it looks so pretty and has a lot of decorationsss!! (context : i'm planning on bringing my mini posters, polaroids and stuff so-)
Thank you for this great video! This really helps as I'm planning to apply for Lap Chee or Chi Sun College in the coming year. May I ask are there any events that are compulsory for residents to join in Lap Chee? Will these activities be time-consuming? Thank you so much!
All these questions, but no one appreciates such a wonderful video! 🙁 Anyways sis, i believe u eat food outside a lot , as you said RCs colleges dont have meal plans. So doesn’t it get expensive to eat outside everyday?? Or do u cook in the kitchen? Also, more HKU and overall Hong Kong vids pleasee!! ❤️
aww thanks for the appreciation hahaha. i eat out or cook depending on the time of the semester, bc trust me finals season in hku is NOT the time to be cooking lmao. It's possible to get on-campus meals for like $30 so it's not too expensive i guess?
@@centralpodium694 oh wow that's not expensive at all!! Thanks for the info sis!! Also keep making such amazing videos😭😭!! Hope u do amazing in your finalss!!!😊😊
Hey I’m doing an exchange at Hku and thinking of choosing either Starr hall or a hockey club, which one is best in your opinion? Both seem great but there’s 4 jockey clubs to choose from so I’m confused, please let me know I will be grateful! 🙂
Heyyy! Personally I think Jockey Club will be a lot more fun and diverse, I recommend going for either Lap Chee or Chi Sun College, they're the two best ones lol
Lap Chee lets you pick whether you want a local, mainland or international roommate + you can pick between a single room or a double room. Of the four RCs, only New College pairs you up with someone of your own background (eg:- Indians generally have Indian roommates), while the other 3 colleges try to make it 🌈d i v e r s e🌈
hey I am an exchange student going to hku next year, is the social life in lap chee good? and are they really strict on rules regarding guests, parties and so on?
Lmao lap Chees guest policy is a pain in the ass and the social life is fine but not the best. If you want a super chill scene you should pick St Johns college and if you want to sneak ppl in you should pick Wei lun, rc Lee or Lee hysan
Thank you for showing this, also please reply to my comment of yours, need to choose soon 😅 Shun Hing or Lap Chee or Chi Sun 😓 so hard to decide, will they put me with similar age? Do all the halls have board games? I’m 24 from UK
lmao love that board games are such an important factor for you, idk how much free time you'll have to actually sit around and play them. i thiiiink lap chee might have board game and chi sun has the most aesthetic facilities so it's really up to you, they're pretty similar. i dont know about the other colleges but lap chee lets you pick between international/local/mainland and UG/PG for your roommate choices.
@@centralpodium694 thanks for reply! Do they have monopoly and chess? 😅 I think I will put my preference in this order Shun Hing, Lap-Chee and Chi Sun 🙂 I’m 24 but final year UG so I will probably ask for PG international student to live with or could I still pick UG and they put me with age similar to mine? I’m still so confused to which one is best, what do you mean by Chi Sun aesthetics 😅 if you could choose again would you go with Shun Hing, Lap-Chee or Chi-Sun sorry I keep asking! It’s a tough decision! 😣 which one is the most social and party? lol I will choose that one 😅
@@Wunderkinddd lmaoo bro I really have no idea which board games they have. The RCs all pretty much the same, chi sun is just prettier (you can look up pictures on the Internet). I don't think any of them are party places lol, if you want a party vibe you should apply to SJC
@@centralpodium694 ok thank you! :) I have one final question lol As a 24 year old should I choose to live with UG who might be around 20 years old or should I choose PG who might be 29+ years old? :( I appreciate that you replied so fast to me! :)
Hi! I will most likely be joining as an undergrad student this semester! Have put down Lap Chee as my first preference for residence:) Could you tell me a little about how rooms are assigned? Also, are double rooms still consisting of 2 students or are there some cover guidelines? Would love to connect with you, let me know if we can, maybe through IG or whatsapp? thanks a lot!
@@centralpodium694 lmaooo ok I have one final question (I promise this time!) do all the rooms have a nice view, or is there a better view of the city if I choose Shun Hing or worse?

Can you please make a video on what we should bring to HK like stationary, clothes and other stuff while coming to study?
That's a pretty good idea, might work on it in the summer
Is there drink water in your room or go to kitchen or buy water bottles outside?
All these questions, but no one appreciates such a wonderful video! 🙁

Hey!
I wanted to know what’s like the mess system in residential colleges and how do students manage it their is none ?
There's no mess, you can cook or eat out at restaurants
Hi. Thank you for the thorough tour. May I ask where you keep your luggage? Can you fit an 28inch (large size) luggage under the bed?
Heyy yes you can fit it under your bed and there's also space above the closets
@@centralpodium694 thank you for your reply. Is your luggage medium size (24 inches) or large size (28 inches)?

@@centralpodium694 can Shun Hing people come to Lap Chee to Chess club? Or do you have to be a Lap Chee residence?

thanks a lot!
Yo, you can dm me on ig @pastelglowcloud
Are the music room and the other rooms available at each floor? And how many students share the fridge and kitchen??
The music room and stuff is on the third floor for the whole building to share
Also for the fridge thing it really depends on how many people live on your floor. It could be anywhere between 10 and 26 I think
@@centralpodium694 okay
@@centralpodium694 then you can only put a few things in fridge🤔 right?
Ok, Final question 🤣 Shun Hing or Lap Chee…. Should I choose single room or Twin room? 🙏
Bro I think u need to work on your decision making skills. Just go for lap chee lmaoooo they should pay me for all the free advertising I do for them
@@centralpodium694 lmaooo ok I have one final question (I promise this time!) do all the rooms have a nice view, or is there a better view of the city if I choose Shun Hing or worse?
@@Wunderkinddd they all have the same view
hii, is this a single room?
Heyyy nope, it's a double room but I don't have a roommate rn bc covid lol
Are you Indian ?
