Abstract
Whole-person education at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) is manifested in the seven graduate attributes (GA) our graduates will have attained after their studies at HKBU. The seven GA are: citizenship, knowledge, learning, skills, creativity, communication, and teamwork. Hall life education is an integral part of whole-person education. The undergraduate halls serve as a living and learning platform for residents to equip themselves with the GA, which are essential to their current studies and future careers. This paper illustrates the fostering of the GA through hall life experience from the first-person narration of two hall residents who are local and non-local students, respectively. Their hall lives may be quite different, yet their both experiences stimulated their personal growth and development. We believe that acknowledging differences and being determined to seek common goals could facilitate the better integration of residents.
