“Through participating in different student societies, I’ve had the chance to meet a wide range of people, all working passionately toward shared goals. To outsiders, this might seem a bit silly or even meaningless, but I believe that meaning is something you define for yourself. What kind of meaning you want to find, and what kind of story you want to create during these four years, is now yours to decide and shape.”

“Stepping into the university campus for the first time, it would be a lie to say I wasn’t nervous. Everything felt unfamiliar and overwhelming. Thankfully, United College helped me gradually find a sense of belonging. From Orientation Camp to shouting College cheers and staying up late to meet deadlines—these moments are the most genuine parts of our youth. “

“Joining United College truly reshaped my entire university journey. When I first arrived, I carried many questions and uncertainties, but here I gradually found a sense of being embraced and learned what it really means to blend in. To those of you who are about to join us, I hope you will feel the warmth of the people here and actively take part in College activities—so that the place we belong to will continue to shine.”

“Although the Orientation Camp is often said to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, as I approach my fifth orientation camp, it still gives me a different feeling. Last year, I became the President of the orientation camp. Looking back at myself when I first joined the College, I was still a freshman who knew nothing about here.
I am grateful to the seniors who brought me into this big family. They made me feel a different kind of youth and passion, starting my exciting university life from the orientation camp.
I hope future freshmen can have fun at the orientation camp, find friends and partners for the next four years, and continue to discover places that suit them in the college, making the most of their youth.”

“UC Bun is a truly magical place. From freshman to senior year, every year between January and March, there is always a group of people working together with passion. We laugh together, cry together, dream together, and explore the unknown together. We brainstorm and create a UC Bun that belongs exclusively to that specific year—whether it's a roller coaster, a haunted house, or completely uncharted territory. As long as you dare to dream it, you can absolutely make it happen.
I am so grateful to be a part of this. I sincerely hope that more students will join us in the future to experience this joy. At United College, at UC Bun, you will definitely find what you are looking for—perhaps it's unleashing your creativity, or maybe it's making a whole new group of friends. As long as you are willing to take that first step, your vision will undoubtedly become a reality here.”

“In my opinion, the United College Singing Contest 2026 is more than just an event, it is a truly unforgettable experience. From the very beginning of the preparation to every detail on the event day, I deeply felt the power of teamwork. Although there were challenges, it was everyone’s support and effort that helped bring Singing Contest 26 to life step by step. What I cherish most is meeting a group of new friends. We all tried our best, used our own strengths, and worked towards the same goal together. The success of Singing Contest 26 came from the hard work and dedication of every organising committee member. I am truly grateful to have been part of it, and I sincerely appreciate United College for providing such a valuable platform for students to unleash their potential. I hope this passion and sense of unity will continue, allowing students to shine in their own fields in the future.”

"Being in the CUHK United College Toastmasters Club has been deeply rewarding. As a member, I had the chance to practice public speaking in a highly supportive environment, listen to engaging stories from my peers, receive insightful feedback from evaluators, and make a lot of friends. Besides, I learned a lot through dialogues with Toastmasters from corporate and community clubs. Sponsored by the College, I also had the opportunity to emcee a Toastmasters Conference held outside of Hong Kong. Working as the president taught me leadership and management skills, and reaching out to invite guests helped me build networking skills. These experiences truly made me a better speaker, communicator, and leader. "

"Joining the Leadership Training Society has been a joyful journey for me. Unlike traditional leadership programmes, the activities here have encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone, build my confidence, and take on new challenges. Through these experiences, I have had the opportunity to try a variety of activities and discover potential I had never realised before. Along the way, I have also created many meaningful and unforgettable memories."

United College has shaped my first year in more ways than I could have imagined. What stands out most is the vibrant college life and the college's deep commitment to student development. Through the United College Young Fellowship Academy, the Shum Choi Sang Mentorship Programme, and Green Camp, I have broadened my global perspective and strengthen my leadership skills in ways I don't think I could have experienced anywhere else. Beyond these programmes, the college community - especially the Toastmasters Club - is incredibly warm and welcoming, where I have formed genuine friendships. I am both grateful and proud to be part of United College.

“I arrived looking for a room; UC quietly unfolded into a horizon.”
Nights drifted through hostel corridors—strangers becoming friends, stories lingering past 2 am. Morning light settled in the UC Library, across open pages and half-formed thoughts, where medicine met questions beyond. By day, I found my way onto stages—voices rising, ideas taking shape, imagined projects stepping into life.
Then UC carried me beyond its hills. Mentors opened unseen doors; journeys to Tsinghua and Oxford turned maps into memories. The world grew wider, yet closer.
UC was never simply where I stayed—it was where moments came alive.
Come see where it might carry you.
