HOSTEL LIFE AND EXPERIENCE
Adam Schall Residence
Adam Schall Residence was the College’s first student hostel and was built jointly with the Society of Jesus. It began admitting students in December 1971, mainly providing triple rooms with a total of 445 hostel places in which 215 places for male students and 230 places for female students.
Residential rooms are equipped with air-conditioning, which is operated through the Octopus card system. Residents can enjoy free Wi-Fi service in the hostel.
A unique feature of Adam Schall Residence is that it houses a chapel offering Catholic services for the benefit of the entire University.
Welcome to the Adam Schall Residence (ASR) and be part of the ASR family, where students from different faculties, major and years will live together and explore a great journey at the University together.
Like everyone of you, I was also a United College student when I was studying at the University, and I have been teaching in Physical Education Unit since 2009. I am glad that I have met lots of kind and smart people here over these years, and my life has been enriched. So, I will encourage you try to meet more friends in ASR, join the activities that organized by our ASR Student Residents’ Association, and engage yourself in the non-formal education college’s life as much as you can. I believe all these experiences will not just lead you to a very fruitful University life, but may also bring you some wonderful memory and some good old friends in the future.

Residents' Association
Residents’ Association of Adam Schall Residence has always been committed to connecting with and serving the residents. Therefore, we organize a variety of rich and colorful activities for residents to participate in. Our aim is to strengthen relationships among residents through diverse activities and create a warm and welcoming hostel environment.
In 2024, Residents’ Association of Adam Schall Residence, led by Adam Ravine, organized various activities throughout our term, such as Photo Day, the ASR Singing Contest, and High Table Dinner. These activities provided residents with a fulfilling and enjoyable living experience, leaving them with wonderful memories of their university life.
As the hostel with the longest history, the richest hall culture, and the most vibrant activities in United College, we not only organizes the annual grand events mentioned above but also operates a tuck shop at night, allowing residents to have a satisfying meal even while studying late into the night. Additionally, we hold a monthly feast event where residents can enjoy cuisines prepared by the residents’ association. These activities provide opportunities for residents to expand their social circles, experience an interesting and novel hostel life, and foster closer relationships with each other.
To all the incoming university freshmen who will embark on a new chapter of their lives in September, we hope to welcome you with a series of rich and exciting activities during hostel orientation week. Our aim is to help all new residents embrace a wonderful hostel life, integrate into the culture of Adam Schall Residence, and become part of the hostel family.
