Rich campus life through hostel education (豐盛的校園舍堂生活)

有別於香港其他院校，作為博雅教育大學的嶺南一直以「小」見稱。座落於屯門虎地的校園擁有十幢宿舍，為宿生提供獨一無二的舍堂生活。同學們一起上課及生活，或加入一些興趣小組及舉辦活動，彼此關係猶如兄弟姊妹，校園氣氛和睦。
嶺大的學生也能分配到相對可觀的資源，以充實其四年大學及「文青」生活。大學提供眾多獎學金、助學金及其他資助，以支持傑出及經濟有困難的同學在學業上、生活上甚至是海外交流上的需要。此外，嶺大亦推出創業基金，以培育同學成為負社會責任的企業家，支持他們去追夢之餘，同時能造福社會，實踐嶺大「作育英才，服務社會」的校訓。嶺大致力為學生提供服務研習及其他服務社會的機會，讓他們與社區保持連繫，並幫助有需要的人。
嶺大另一「小就是美」的例子，是其學生能分配到往海外交流實習的機會：約八成半嶺大學生能前赴大學遍佈約45個國家的230多所海外伙伴院校，當一個學期的交換生或參加暑期課程。這些經驗讓同學擴闊視野及知識領域，體驗多元文化及結交不同背景的朋友，受用一生。
此外，嶺大的小班教學及課程設計，令每位學生與老師能作充分交流互動，亦使後者能作靈活及具彈性的教學。
Lingnan University is different to all the other universities in Hong Kong-its “small size” makes it stand out. This ensures that every student has access to the resources and opportunities that the university offers. Lingnan’s campus in Fu Tei, Tuen Mun, has 10 hostels, providing unique hostel education to all student residents. During their stay, students bond with each other by studying together, sharing accommodation, joining clubs, and organising events. In fact, Lingnan students are more like brothers and sisters. Every Lingnanian, and every visitor, can sense the friendly feelings and harmony on the campus.
Apart from full residential university life, every Lingnan student is allocated generous resources so they can make the most out of their 4-year studies. Lingnan offers a wide range of scholarships, sponsorships, and other subsidies to outstanding and needy students to support their studies, their living expenses, and their participation in overseas exchange programmes. In addition, the University recently launched an entrepreneurship initiative to help students pursue their dreams of becoming social entrepreneurs. The aim is to uphold the motto “Education for Service” by providing students with service-learning and community service opportunities.
“Small is beautiful” also means that students can take advantage of the many overseas exchange opportunities on offer. About 85 per cent of Lingnan’s undergraduates have an opportunity to spend a term studying abroad in one of its 230+ partner institutions in about 45 countries. Students can also participate in short-term summer programmes. These overseas trips broaden their horizons, and allow them to experience different cultures and make friends from different backgrounds-experiences which make great life lessons.
Lingnan’s small classes and curriculum design also ensure a close relationship between students and teachers, and this makes learning more efficient and dynamic. The class size also enables teachers to have more flexibility in teaching.
