College Life

The failure in public exam made me depressed. Fortunately, the College gave me another opportunity to achieve my dream. My choice to study in the College was absolutely correct and my college life was very fruitful. Different lecturers and counsellors helped me a lot and they made me feel like home. Besides, the program is consisted of both theoretical knowledge and practical experience, which includes an internship at different sport and recreation agencies during summer. This provided us with valuable and practical experience useful for our future study and career.

I am happy I have made a right choice to study in Higher Diploma in the College. Without an university offer, I did not consider to retake HKDSE, as I the study mode of intensive recitation is not suitable for me. The learning mode of the College is interactive and flexible. Teachers are very supportive and helping us to achieve better. Although sometimes doing different projects concurrently can be very tiring, my group mates, also my friends helped each other. When we achieved excellent grades, we realized that our effort paid off. Through conducting different presentations, my confidence was enhanced. I am very grateful that the College and my friends provided me a with chance of further study.

Although I am currently studying Business-related programme, the professional legal knowledge that I acquired during my study at the College has been valuable. All the lecturers are experienced legal professionals with in depth legal expertise. The programme has equipped me well for the workforce. I treasure these 2 years of College study as it allowed me to meet many new and close friends.

Having failure in the past public examination does not ruin my study journey, but all these drive me to become even stronger. There is no doubt that it is a right choice to have further study in the College since I really gain more than expected in these two years. Apart from equipping me with a broad sense of food science knowledge in different areas including food chemistry, nutritional science or even food marketing, this program also offers students various site visit opportunities. Moreover, what makes me feel so grateful is the enthusiastic lecturers, who do not only devote themselves to teaching, but also keen on giving inspirational lessons. These motivate me a lot and even make me become more eager to learning science.

Apart from the theories and concepts learnt from text books, students can apply their knowledge in a practical way by joining different placement works and internships. Also, these placement works provide a platform for us to improve our communication skills. On the other hand, most of the students will face some teamwork which innovative ideas and the collaboration between teammates are very important. All these training that I have gone through has definitely laid a strong foundation for my future studies as well as career goal. The lecturers are very reliable and professional, their relationship with students are like friends. Not only are they pleased to help students with their works, but also eager to provide students with advices on their future studies and also career planning by share their personal experiences.

I have learnt a lot in the past two years at the College. Not only quality teaching and comprehensive facilities are provided, but also many internship opportunities were given to students to facilitate learning. This helps us to get well prepared for further studies or the work in future. Besides, students can receive full support from student counselors. In these two years, I have recognized my direction and finally made my dream come true! I am really thankful for what I have gained here.

'How can we do better without working extra miles in a second time?' This question has been my motto to propel myself to endure and work out the best of me in every learning opportunity. This is important to me because I always believe chances are only reserved for those who made additional preparation. The greater the ambition, the stronger the morale is. I just ask whenever something comes into questions and devote wholeheartedly when facing with challenges and tasks. Frankly, the lecturers and further studies guidance are indeed significant in my study.

The programme has greatly been designed for preparing students to work or further study. I learnt more about the hotel industry from the 6-month internship at the Hong Kong SkyCity Marriott Hotel. During the internship, I could practice the skills that learnt from lectures and understand more about the current situation of the industry.

I am very glad that I chose to study at the College after my public examination because I got a fruitful experience here. Studying at the College for 1 year, I found that the lecturers are all friendly and are willing to help students. Apart from the professional lecturers, the well-equipped environment also impressed me so much especially the nutrition laboratory, which is specially designed for students studying in Nutrition and Food Management program. With the help of the lecturers and facilities, I can learn both theoretical and practical knowledge in this program. In addition, I also met many new friends in the College and I consider this as the most valuable asset I got in this school.

Since my public examination results were not outstanding, I decided to study the Higher Diploma programme and hope that it is a chance for me to enter the university. My dream comes true! The programme includes a 6-month placement, which can strengthen my knowledge learnt during classes and let me understand the hotel operation.

Thanks to the College, for giving me an opportunity to continue my study. In these years, what I have gained is greater than I expected. In my view, being passionate about learning is much important than pursuing the academic results. Exploring the treasure house of knowledge with your efforts; interacting with others with sincerity even under the fierce competition, and enjoying the teachings of the lecturers, you will find out the true value of study, which is not a matter of grading, but enjoyment. Thanks to all lecturers who taught wholeheartedly as well as the classmates who made my day.
