“Small O” refers to the Faculty/ Departmental Orientation. In order to let new students understand their study programme and meet new friends, some related activities include virtual, face-to-face on-campus indoor and outdoor ice-breaking games, teachers and students’ sharing sessions about academic programmes and university life, and campus tours, etc.
“Big O” is an important event of the unique College system at CUHK. Activities are all well-designed by College Organizing Committees. In order to let new students from different cultural backgrounds be familiar with their own college and build up the sense of belonging, student organisers arrange unique and fabulous games and activities during the College Orientation Week. In addition to the above activities, non-local student associations also assist new incoming students to adjust their life in Hong Kong and adapt to university life via various interesting activities during College Orientation Week which they shall be able to make more friends.
