Welcome to the world of student activities. Being at the University is probably the best opportunity you will have to participate in a wide range of activities. From hiking to dancing to drama and debating, the choice is wide-open, all you have to do is join a society.

When it comes to basic issues such as shopping for groceries and laundry matters, rest assured as shopping centres, laundromat, post office, CNA, doctor and dental care, pharmacy, etc are only a stones through away. Even the airport is close by!
