Student residence forms an integral part in realising the University's vision of whole-person education of students. Under the supervision of the Office of Student Affairs, the Student Accommodation Section endeavours to provide safe, supportive and stimulating residential communities that embrace diversity, and encourage participation, learning and independence of students.

In 2025/26 academic year, Village CARE (Creative Arena for Residential Education) will be in full operation to offer the best learning experience for students in an academic-residential setting delivering transdisciplinary academic excellence in a caring, creative, and global culture. Village CARE consists of four residential buildings, with each building operating as a Residential College (College).
