Hall 10

Never have I ever been able to experience the college dorm life because of factors such as distance and costs. Living only fifteen minutes (driving) from UH Manoa I never felt the need to live on campus. Although a little cheaper than renting an outside apartment, the cost of living for staying in a dorm is still pretty costly.

As an exchange student, anywhere, living on your own or with a friend is inevitable. Currently living at the Student Residence in Hall 10, one of two new halls that opened a little more than a year ago, I'm really enjoying the freedom I have.

O-Camp

Unique to Hong Kong, Orientation Camp or O-Camp for short, is an event that aims to integrate new students into a club/organization. Usually run by returning students, this event can last anywhere from one to three days, include multiple venues per day, and can involve as many as 100 students. This event is considered one of the biggest events an organization will put on for their members.
