Dear Reader,

Whether you are a freshman this year, a second year arriving to your campus for the first time, or an upper year student, welcome to the new academic year!

The large majority of those who contributed to this publication have had at most a few months of normal university experience. Two academic years ago, classes were moved online as the city’s daily life was shaken by large-scale protests. No sooner, however, did we take off the tear gas masks than we put on our surgical ones. An entire batch of students spent their freshman year in 2D, creating an odd situation in which it is not only freshmen, but also their jobas and jomas who have yet to locate their classrooms and decode bus routes. As our campus comes back to life, we are delighted to welcome you to a new year, a new home and a new adventure.

We hope this Orientation Issue would encourage you to make the most of your university experience, not only academically but also as a member of a unique and diverse student body and a contributor to society at large.

We wish you the best of luck and happiness here at CUHK.

Best Wishes,

The English Editorial Team of the CUHK Student Press

“Get involved in new things! Meeting people and expanding horizons creates the best uni experience.”

“Go for it! Honestly, just go for lots of things in uni and plan wisely. Apply to that exchange, cultural trip, society, laboratory—whatever there is. 4 years are so quick and by the time you are a final-year student you don’t want to regret not grasping the opportunity. But a small piece of advice: pick wisely and concentrate on things that are most relevant to you. Where do you see yourself after university? What kind of CV or experience does it require? Student life will offer lots of things but choose and prioritise. And have fun <3️. That’s all it is about.”
