Being fully residential, College life is an integral part of the Choi Kai Yau experience. The many activities promotes curiosity, critical thinking, communication and camaraderie, in support of the whole-person development of our students. Activities range from informal ad-hoc floor gatherings, to discussion fora, educational seminars, lectures by distinguished speakers, cultural/arts events, festive celebrations, community service, as well as overseas service-learning and study trips. Students are strongly encouraged to take the initiative to propose and organize activities.
