We are committed to creating a safe, healthy, warm, and supportive dormitory environment where students can cultivate self-discipline, social skills, and a sense of belonging while learning to live independently. We aim to make the dormitory their &#8220;second home&#8221; on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a15a20e0182e13651e547546dc291b17\" style=\"color:#4e5256\">The dormitory spaces are designed with a student-centred approach, balancing privacy and shared areas, as well as study and leisure needs. Both boys&#8217; and girls&#8217; dormitories feature four-person rooms with independent toilets and shower facilities, adopting an apartment-style management system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-139339be4f847602992060d81ce5af8e\" style=\"color:#4e5256\">\u4e00\u3001<strong>Girls&#8217; Dormitory Introduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-04f443f17c85a5e91983fe8b72817879\" style=\"color:#4e5256\">The girls&#8217; dormitory offers two room types:1.Loft-style bed with desk underneath 2.Bunk beds<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-391efcb218814e1b41e3ff94bfcd6365\" style=\"color:#4e5256\"><strong>1.

When students wish to have quiet time alone or need to study, this setup reduces unintentional interruptions. Each student can have their own &#8220;little world.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-822d398889088d6acb0f252b6b2d18ce\" style=\"color:#4e5256\">This design also provides more storage space. Bookshelves are located on the wall above the desk for convenient storage of books and daily items. Wardrobes are typically designed beside the desk for storing clothing and miscellaneous items.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.szsthilarys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/\u5bbf\u820d\u4ecb\u7d39-\u56fe\u724711-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-934\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.szsthilarys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/\u5bbf\u820d\u4ecb\u7d39-\u56fe\u724711-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.szsthilarys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/\u5bbf\u820d\u4ecb\u7d39-\u56fe\u724711-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.szsthilarys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/\u5bbf\u820d\u4ecb\u7d39-\u56fe\u724711-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.szsthilarys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/\u5bbf\u820d\u4ecb\u7d39-\u56fe\u724711.png 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e6db3819cf2d9463d9339dbd6202911b\" style=\"color:#4e5256\">2. <strong>\u00a0Bunk beds (limited availability)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9d60cf211e825e966fedbda414b44048\" style=\"color:#4e5256\">This layout better separates the study area from the sleeping area, reducing distractions and improving living efficiency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-115b676cfa18b77c45b8bc1da611d36b\" style=\"color:#4e5256\">The bunk bed design facilitates closer relationships among roommates and encourages communication and mutual assistance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.szsthilarys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/\u5bbf\u820d\u4ecb\u7d39-\u56fe\u724721-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-939\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.szsthilarys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/\u5bbf\u820d\u4ecb\u7d39-\u56fe\u724721-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.szsthilarys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/\u5bbf\u820d\u4ecb\u7d39-\u56fe\u724721-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.szsthilarys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/\u5bbf\u820d\u4ecb\u7d39-\u56fe\u724721-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.szsthilarys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/\u5bbf\u820d\u4ecb\u7d39-\u56fe\u724721.png 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.szsthilarys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/2b99252a-4d7c-401f-8824-1a192e5f69861-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.szsthilarys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/2b99252a-4d7c-401f-8824-1a192e5f69861-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.szsthilarys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/2b99252a-4d7c-401f-8824-1a192e5f69861-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.szsthilarys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/2b99252a-4d7c-401f-8824-1a192e5f69861-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.szsthilarys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/2b99252a-4d7c-401f-8824-1a192e5f69861.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.szsthilarys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/4a35a1a7-62b9-4810-ba76-39f466a011411-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-977\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.szsthilarys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/4a35a1a7-62b9-4810-ba76-39f466a011411-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.szsthilarys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/4a35a1a7-62b9-4810-ba76-39f466a011411-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.szsthilarys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/4a35a1a7-62b9-4810-ba76-39f466a011411-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.szsthilarys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/4a35a1a7-62b9-4810-ba76-39f466a011411.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ce57bba46598334f7228c097a9c37ae3\" style=\"color:#4e5256\">\u4e8c\u3001<strong>\u00a0Boys&#8217; Dormitory Introduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-dae71a8b8032eacba940044f47927342\" style=\"color:#4e5256\">The boys&#8217; dormitory offers one room type: loft-style bed with desk underneath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-bbaba46c092a8b9628912640c0b525b6\" style=\"color:#4e5256\">Each boys&#8217; dormitory room is equipped with an independent toilet and shower room, located near the entrance.
