PREFACE
Welcome to our LGBTQ+ Survival Guide for University Students in Hong Kong. For many students, stepping into university life is the start of their self-exploration journey. So universities craft their own survival guides for their students. But as LGBTQ+ students our experiences may vastly differ from the experiences of our peers. There were no resources specifically intended for queer university students in Hong Kong. We touch upon key pieces of information queer students need to know when they embark on this journey. In this survival guide, we will give resources we found useful on topics of LGBTQ+ wellbeing, health, career, community and entertainment. And we genuinely hope it will aid you on your journey through university life.

A WORD FROM OUR CO - PRESIDENT , QUINN
As a graduate of a traditional Catholic school, I struggled to find a sense of belonging for my queer identity. When I saw the LGBTQ+ Survival Guide in my freshman pack, I felt this excitement and reassurance of knowing that there’s a community out there for me in university. For that purpose, we have created this survival guide. We hope to bring you this pleasant surprise that I have been able to experience. You are definitely not alone in this journey.
