Wonder if it would be too detail to list all the student association here. It seems the page a little bit clumsy. Gakmo 08:49, 12 Nov 2003 (UTC)
agree
I have moved the student associations under a new page called The Hong Kong University Students' Union. Spring Dennis
I would like to suggest that the list of famous alumni from HKU includes alot of people who are not famous.
For example, Sun Yat-Sen should be on the list.
However, the rest of the list seems to include people on the legislative council, do we plan on changing the list every time there are new Council members?
Also, the inclusion of government bureaucrats such as the HK Monetary Authority head and the Hospital Authority head are questionable.
I think that most other great universities only include famous alumni that are world-renowned and have made some great impact to society as a head of government, author, scientist, etc. Bureaucrats and officials of little note that will soon be forgotten should not be included on a list of "famous alumni." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.245.178.135 (talk) 13:47, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
The pamphlet titled, "Inauguration Ceremony for New Students 2005/September 2, 2005 Loke Yew Hall", states:
In 2004-5 academic year, the University had over 21,300 students (around 12,000 undergraduates and 9,300 postgraduates). Its student population included more than 2,500 non-local students.
Yet, in his introductory remarks (in the same ceremony), Dr. Albert Chau, Dean of Student Affairs, gave a student population number closer to the "14,000" offered here. Is the pamphlet information correct or in error and can this updated student enrollment be added to the page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.8.17.55 (talk) 05:35, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
HKU hall education (at least some) has been over accentuate "hall contribution" as a requirement of admission. Exemplified by the re-admission form adopted by Starr Hall HKU, you have to list and quantify contribution to hall. It is so ridiculous that you are required to reveal "how many time have you been to interhall competitions". The intensified atmosphere on materialistic hall contribution has bred the hazing culture. Some wardens of the halls believes that admitting students who contribute most is an incentive for cultivating hall culture. The reason is that hall memberships are essential for some students having very remote residence or even no residence in HK, so acquiescence of hazing is simply needed under the accommodation pressure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sam Lo (talk • contribs) 22:42, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
While the hazing practice in the HKU residential hall may be "tame" (actually I'm not sure even about that) when compared to the standard practice of, say, American fraternities, in most Western countries freshmen had to ask before they would be hazed (say through pledging a frat), whereas at HKU everyone who lives in a dorm has to go through such process. So no I would not characterize the HKU practice as harmless fun when compared to their Western counterparts.
I am told by some of my friends that academic staffs of the University are apointed to take up positions in each hall, it seems to me that the hall education in University of Hong Kong resembles some kind of collegiate atmosphere in the collegiate universities. Could someone add a word or two on that?
Interviews for admission to the LKS Faculty of Medicine in September 2006 were apparently conducted in Cantonese where the applicant was able to speak it.
edited because: 1) Interviews for all subjects were in Cantonese 2) apparently is not appropriate, if anyone disagrees then put a "citation needed" instead 3) Changed where to if, because it sounds like "Cantonese is forbidden in certain places, so the interview had to be conducted where the applicant was able to speak it".
It is very doubtful, at least to me as a HKU student, that interviews are conducted in Cantonese. That has never been the case as far as I know. And that the lessons are conducted in Chinese is also doubtful, because the employment contract of the lecturers states that they have to use English as a medium of instruction, though sometimes, they may use a Chinese word to explain some difficult English words. (Of course, Chinese language courses are not conducted in English.)
This is also not the entire truth, according the website of webometrics: "If the web performance of an institution is below the expected position according to their academic excellence, university authorities should reconsider their web policy, promoting substantial increases in the volume and quality of their electronic publications."
The title should be "University of Hong Kong", not "The University of Hong Kong". See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (definite and indefinite articles at beginning of name) --Neo-Jay 20:36, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Is it wise to place so much emphasis on this section, and is it wise at all to keep such a section? Wikipedia is not a forum for discussing "hot topic," wikipedia is supposed to provide objective information to other wiki users. Furthermore, other wiki-articles regarding universite don't have this kind of subjective section on their pages. Justicelilo 05:23, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
~Actually I enjoy that section as it appears to be one of the few places in HKU culture where "criticism" is brought into public view. I feel proud of my university when I read such reflections as it functions to allow us to wrestle with what our university is exactly.

The guidelines stipulate not to include all the programs and degrees offered by the University in the article since wikipedia is not a directory. But I'm not sure if those departments subordinate to each Faulty should be removed as well. It seems inappropriate to incorporate such information as several GA (e.g. Oxford and MIT) don't have their academic divisions listed in such exhaustive details. Biomedicinal (contact)

Is it really necessary to devote so much space to the Johannes Chan controversy? The coverage seems way out of proportion to other events in the history section and it is difficult to judge the historical significance of the event so soon after the fact. Maybe this information is better placed on the page of Johannes Chan himself. 61.244.137.12 (talk) 11:21, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
