Student Dormitory Guide
學生宿舍指南
Introduction 介紹
Welcome to the Student Dormitory Guide by the Office of Student Affairs.
Our dormitories are more than just a place to stay — they are designed to be a safe, supportive, and vibrant living environment where students can focus on their studies, build friendships, and experience campus life to the fullest.
Each dormitory room is thoughtfully arranged to ensure both comfort and functionality. All rooms are fully air-conditioned, accommodating four students per room, and offer approximately 391 square feet of shared living space. The layout is designed to balance privacy and community, allowing students to enjoy personal space while also fostering meaningful connections with roommates.
Living in the dormitory provides students with convenient access to campus facilities, academic buildings, and student services. It also encourages the development of important life skills such as independence, responsibility, and cooperation in a shared living environment.
At the same time, student safety and well-being remain our top priorities. The university implements clear policies, structured routines, and support systems to ensure that all residents can live in a secure and well-managed community.
Whether you are a new student preparing for your first semester or a returning student planning your next academic year, this guide will help you understand everything you need to know — from dormitory locations and application procedures to daily living rules and helpful tips.
