- Yu Ming (IBBA/Year 4)

當初揀書院嘅時候,其實我都係亂填,心入面冇任何嘅preference,甚至唔記得first choice係咪填咗聯合。但係結果話比我知聯合係個好不錯的地方,我唔知我入咗其他書院嘅話我嘅大學生活會係點樣,但至少呢一刻嘅我十分滿足。各位freshmen,無論你係本身好想入UC,或者只係唔小心撞咗入嚟,都歡迎你地加入呢個大家庭。多啲喺呢度發掘下唔同嘅事物,為你地自己嘅大學生活添上意義啦。

It is an absolute honour to become a part of the United College community throughout my university life. I am incredibly grateful for the exposure and opportunities that UC has provided for me. Having had the privilege to receive scholarships pertinent to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and whole-person development, I always feel as if UC is my chosen family who constantly supports my dreams and ambitions in any fashion. Upon graduation, I look forward to staying in touch with UC and supporting fellow UC students whenever necessary. Thank you, UC and I am always proud to be a part of UC College!

- YIP Yuk Long (2022/ENSC)

Entering the university in the year of covid outbreak, the much-expected vibrant and refreshing school life seemed all but impossible. Amidst the monotonous semesters, however, UC brought in the silver lining. With the joint endeavours of the college members, we were provided with ample opportunities to connect with fellow students and explore their potential. It was through these platforms that I, a UC student, could not only meet like-minded individuals from diverse backgrounds, but also become a part of a warm and welcoming community. I also had the pleasure to work with staff whom I can see pour their heart and soul into improving our well-being.
To let in a secret - UC was not my first choice when I was a clueless freshman. In retrospect, I am nothing but immensely grateful that I became, and will continue to be, a proud member of United College.

疫情下聯合書院仍然帶給我一次次新穎的體驗:從宿舍生活到國際演講會,令近兩年間的網課生活增添不少趣味。也許兩年後畢業時會忘記課本上的知識,但那些匆忙吃完書院飯堂火腿通粉趕着上早課的日子﹑那些在胡忠圖書館徹夜溫習的考前一晚﹑那些緊張發汗的演講前夕,是不會被忘卻的。

- 蘇梓蔚 (生物/二年級)

喜歡湯草,喜歡開心軒,喜歡聯合人。回想四年光景,有笑有淚的吵鬧聲仍在腦海迴響。告別了青春的胡鬧,我有幸在聯合擔任學生記者和參與學長計劃,接觸成就非凡的聯合人。聽著他們訴說昔日的聯合,再看著被陽光撫摸著的湯草,我想,溫暖的家大概就是這個意思。

- 黃幗芙(新聞及傳播學/四年級)

Turning into a university student may bring you fears of the unknowns ahead. You may doubt if you can integrate socially. Or you may feel worried about your new school life. Fortunately, my first year in UC gives me no fears but comfort. What UC offers is not only a lovely campus, but also opportunites for you to explore your own potentials. I hope you may also discover your values and meet good friends here in UC, just like what we do!

- Ruby Lee (ENGE/Year 2)

聯合,本來只是一個隨機派下的身分。初進山城,擔任秉芬堂幹事,遇上大學的第一群朋友;羽翼漸豐,聯合帶我到愛丁堡大學交流;如今長成,運用所學回饋書院,製作宣傳企劃。轉眼四個寒暑,不論高低起跌,只要回來,總覺安心。聯合,後來成為了一個我引以為傲的身分。

- 黃天穎 (2020/新聞及傳播學)

I am proud and thankful that I can be one of the UC students. United College allowed me to have different opportunities to know more about the world and brought me an unforgettable university life. I hope I can end this article by sending my most sincere gratitude to United College. Thank you, UC!

- LEE Wai Man (2020/CHLL)

我曾在聯合書院度過兩年的住宿生活,臨近考試期間在宿舍自修室或通宵開放的「金魚缸」內閉關,和其他同學一起咬牙盡力,聽晚上青蛙池的牛蛙偶爾鼓譟,小瀑布在眼前飛濺,每個人似乎都抱着一種破釜沉舟的意志和書卷硬拼。雖然在金魚缸內你我不相識,但想到在夜幕下有一處燈火因彼此越點越亮,也是一種獨有的溫暖。

- 李文靜 (2021/中國語言及文學)

I remember myself walking into United College with full excitement back in 2019. This is my very first home in Hong Kong, where I have learned to observe, experience, and enjoy cultural differences. Here, I have met many kind, amazing, and talented people from different backgrounds speaking different languages. To me, UC is more than just a college as it gives me countless exposure to the diversity of life. It is the people that make this place incredibly special. The connections I have built and the wonderful moments I have spent around UC are so valuable that it becomes unforgettable, and I am really glad to be a part of United College.

- KHUMJUANG Autchariya (IBBA/Year 4)

作為高年級入學的學生,我在聯合書院短短一個學年已經獲得很多學習的機會,讓我可以發揮所長。我很榮幸能夠參與製作聯合書院校友日的短片和通識課程的動畫片段。製作過程增加了我對影片和動畫製作的認識,還令我更加投入書院生活。感謝書院的信任和支持,令我能夠實踐所學,在感興趣的範疇上為書院出一分力。

- 陳雅汶 (2022/新聞及傳播學)

United College has been home away from home for me. It has been there to hear me out in tiring times and has supported me in unconditional ways when in college and otherwise too. The time that I have spent in this college has allowed me to make new friends from people around the world and helped me in my overall development. Through various events organised by the college and facilities provided by UC, it has allowed me to complement my intentions with my actions. Hoping to have two more years of an unforgettable experience at the college!

2021年7月,我來到聯合書院一間飯堂,點了一杯熊貓芝士奶蓋四季春。呷下那一口茶,花了我三秒鐘。

而那三秒鐘,裝着的是三年前的回憶。

OCamp、院慶、聯唱和聯繽,伴隨我們揮灑的汗水和燃燒的時間,構成大家抹不走的痕跡。

然而,無論是三年前,還是剛剛的三秒,都已經過去,你我除了回望,也只能留戀。
由新生走到老鬼,
由部員走到部主,
只能說,聯合,承載了我們所有喜歡。
在心中,一切在我們心中。

- 林河辰 (2022/統計學)

聯合書院坐落於中大山頂,每每從聯合下山,我便會感歎這慢慢悠悠,不慌不忙消化着人間煙火氣的地方。每到週末,都會有小童來到湯宿前的草坪嬉戲,或騎,或踢,或自由奔跑,或傾聽蟲鳴。

而我更喜歡的,是傍晚時分的聯合,坐在湯草旁邊的石頭上,看着兩旁的人來人往,聽着聯合餐廳的喧嘩隨着長庚星的升起逐漸融化在夜空之下,實是別有風味。

我也喜歡在聯合書院的朝朝暮暮,在聯合書院的生活總存在着一些驚喜。宿生會派發的早點,書院舉辦的活動,聯合書院學生會內地本科生聯合會無微不至的幫助,都讓在書院生活變得豐富多彩。

對於我來說,聯合書院,便是山城中的家。

- 張皓翔 (計量金融學及風險管理科學/四年級)

受益於書院的網絡,我先後到訪澳洲、北京,又能與優秀校友交流,更獲得了社企的實習職位。宿舍生活自由而舒適,與同學嬉戲、辯論的畫面猶在昨天。我很感恩能成為書院的一員,四年過去,我的世界觀也起了點點的不同。

- 陳偉 (2021/歷史)

我在聯合書院四年間曾經參加過書院辯論隊,亦曾領取過書院設立的服務獎和創意學生活動獎。這些學習機會和資源都令我感受到書院對同學的支援和鼓勵全方位學習,讓同學能跳出框框,得以尋找到適合自己的發展方向。
