全期住宿及书院共膳
理由
全宿共膳的傳統可追溯至牛津和劍橋的學院生活。你將結交來自不同背景和不同學科的朋友,也可以認識你的一眾老師。學生會一起住宿並共進晚膳,因而建立親密的氛圍和有着緊密連繫的社群。
共膳是書院生活的要素之一,並有助團結書院社群。共膳對全宿生活而言,可謂不可或缺。此外,其亦和書院通識課程密不可分,屬於課程的一部分。
住宿
作為敬文的一份子(不論是本地生抑或是非本地生),你得以在常規修業期間首四年(共八個學期)住宿。宿生的義務為投入宿舍生活及參與共膳,和書院同學一同學習和成長。以下為膳食安排和相關費用詳情。
共膳
書院將在學期間舉辦共膳和高桌晚宴,亦會邀請嘉賓或同學在用膳期間/之後就不同的主題分享他們的看法。敬文書院不設常規週會。每個學期,書院均會在每週二至週四安排三次共膳。高桌晚宴則每年四次。以下為出席率要求和相關費用詳情。
宿舍的詳細安排
敬文書院承諾為每一位學生提供常規修業期間首四年的宿位。其對住宿的需要是否迫切,或是往返大學的距離等並不在考慮之列,而是根據下列安排。
- 所謂首四年是指你在中大修讀的第一個本科學位起計的8個學期。暑假課程的住宿安排則會分開處理。
- 你仍在常規修業期限內。若為按認可資歷入讀的本科生,或以高年級入學,你的常規修業期限可能少於四年/八個學期,因此我們未必會提供四年/八個學期的宿位。
- 所有住宿空檔期也會被計入四年宿位,其中包括任何例外情況。例外情況指境外交流/實習項目、紀律或公共衛生問題導致的退宿處分,或因疫症、天災、安全問題或社會動蕩關閉宿舍等。
- 你須支付該學期的全部共膳費用。在特殊情況下,書院亦會特事特辦,使學生只須支付部分共膳費用。
- 學生如延長休業期或休學等,可在居住第四年後申請住宿,唯學生事務委員會僅會在有空置宿位的情況下受理。
- 一般而言,修讀內外全科醫學士課程的學生,在臨床學習的最後兩年會居住在威爾士親王醫院所提供宿舍。
宿費及相關經濟援助
書院宿舍的日常營運為自負盈虧,因此宿費將取決於宿舍包括維修開支在內的實際營運成本。2023-24學年宿費如下:
宿費中已包含每個房間140千瓦時的基本用量。超出此用量者(尤其是冷氣)須根據該房間的單獨用量按月收費。
*每房每天4.65千瓦時 ~ 每房140千瓦時 x 12個月/365天
有經濟需要的敬文書院學生均可以申請助學金,以減輕宿費和共膳費用帶來的經濟負擔。
額外宿位
當書院有額外的宿位時,可能會接受除上述住宿之外的宿舍申請。尋求此類住宿的學生需要提前向學生事務委員會提交特別申請。除了需求方面的考慮,學生在以往書院生活的參與和貢獻也在考慮之列。以下為一些會獲考慮的例子。
- 在獲批休學的情況下,書院可提供四年以後的住宿,但前提須是相關學生的常規修業期限已被大學延長。
- 課程常規修業期限超過四年的學生也許有在第四年之後的住宿需要。一般而言,本例不適用於修讀內外全科醫學士課程的學生,因在臨床學習的最後兩年,威爾士親王醫院通常會提供宿舍。
- 對於超出常規修業期限的學生,獲得宿位機會甚微。
在學期期間,宿位會由院務委員會所批準則分配。詳情請參考此準則“宿舍名額分配指引Guidelines on the Allocation of Hostel Places” (僅限英文版)。
