Smoking, Drinking & Noise

Smoke-free environment:

2. Many residents have great concern about smoking in public areas. Be considerate of other residents' feelings and support our non-smoking residence by not smoking.

Alcohol:

1. Each resident is held responsible for ensuring that he/she monitors the intake of alcohol at any given time and avoids over-consumption.
2. The University will not tolerate excessive alcohol consumption as an excuse for disruptive behavior or breach of hall rules. Continual excessive consumption of alcohol which causes disturbance to residents will be considered misconduct.
3. You may approach your Residence Master or the Student Residence Office if you need assistance for your drinking problems.

Noise Level:

2. The period from 11:00pm to 7:00am is regarded as the quiet hours of the Student Residence. You are expected to behave in a mature and responsible manner by not creating noise nuisance which will disturb others.
3. During revision and examination periods, the quiet hours may be extended as needed.
4. While you are enjoying your leisure chats and laughter with others in public areas, such as the lawn area, common rooms and corridors, be aware of the noise disturbance which may be caused to your peers and refrain from creating such disturbance.
