College Life

As time flies like an arrow, my fruitful life at the College has officially come to an end. In the past 3 years, what I gained from the College was not only knowledge from books but also a sense of self-affirmation, a group of true friends, a more consolidated basis on learning and a better me. It gave me a clearer concept on how to strive for my best to achieve my goal which may help me a lot throughout the rest of my life. In conclusion, the College is not just a stepping stone for further studying but a platform which you can improve and enrich yourself.

This programme is a stepping stone for me to get into university. In this programme, I have met various mentors who are enthusiastic and passionate in specialism courses and I am very grateful that not only have I acquired a variety of knowledge from the lectures, but also I learned precious life experience from my mentors. To me, choosing the College was the right choice, something that I will never regret.

In these two years, my horizon has been broadened as I have learnt different disciplines of social sciences which cannot be learnt in secondary school. The programme enriches my knowledge and provides me with strong foundation in social sciences for my further studies. It also emphasises different aspects of Psychology, such as Social Psychology and Developmental Psychology, which arouses my interest in Psychology. Apart from theoretical learning, doing projects can help me to practically apply theories. Besides, lecturers are professional and devoted to teaching. They are willing to help students with difficulties. Furthermore, counsellors at Student Development Resource Centre (SDRC) provide information about further studies and counselling services. Through frequent contact with them, I can develop healthy psychological well-being and get well-prepared for the university admission. Studying at the College indeed gives me a fruitful and treasurable experience.

When I failed my HKAL and entered the College, to be frank, I felt humiliated at that time. However, these two years turned out to be one of the most memorable moments I ever had in my life. I did not only meet friends whom I could spend my leisure time with and study together, I also experienced the study methods similar to the ones adopted in the university and the knowledge useful in my lifetime. Life at the College is not easy, nothing on this planet is. However, in the College, as long as you are willing to pay effort, you will receive a satisfactory harvest.

In the past year, my result in the public examination was not good, so I studied a Higher Diploma in order to get one more chance to study in a university. In the Medical and Health Products Management programme, I studied not only human physiology, but also knowledge about some health products and drugs, which gave me a very useful knowledge base for my future study. In the College, I can sense a good studying atmosphere among students, and all lecturers teach with passion, and well-prepared before the lessons.

The past 2-year at the College were enjoyable. The programme has broadenedmy horizon in the world of nutrition and strengthened my ability in laboratory skills and logical thinking. Apart from learning the knowledge and skills, lecturers have provided opportunities for students to learn in different ways, e.g. discussion, cooperation, providing feedbacks and presentation. Furthermore, extra-curricular activities increased my confidence levels at the workplace and when communicating with others, an example being Green Day, which was an activity to promote eating with low carbon. Studying at the College resulted in not only pursuing academic achievements for future careers, but also gaining social exposureand communication skills for my future studies and career aspirations.

My three-year college life was fruitful and inspiring. My potential has been fully developed through participating in different types of activities such as being a committee member and a class representative. The training on meeting deadlines of homework assignments and school projects has greatly improved my time management skills. The lecturers and counsellors here were very helpful that they often talked to me and gave me lots of useful information and opinions. During the interview period, they were so supportive boosted my confidence. I am really grateful that I have met so many good friends, lecturers and counsellors in the College.

Studying at the College gave me a valuable and unforgettable memory in my school life. Besides practical knowledge, extraordinary learning opportunities are also given by the College which nurtures me to be an independent individual who can think critically. I have been involved in a service team - V-Circle at the College and was able to serve the street sleepers in Hong Kong. This valuable experience provided me the chance to look at the life of inferior groups in Hong Kong and provoked me to ponder on social issues in our society.

I had a memorable and unforgettable time in the College. I found my dream and targets. The College emphasises on self-learning and active learning. Apart from lectures, students were given the opportunity to participate in different placements so that we were able to meet different people and gain many practical experiences. Moreover, I have gained not only knowledge but also friendship as the lecturers and the classmates gave me full support during my study and make my life joyful. Choosing to study at the College is definitely the right choice for me.

In the past two years, I have learnt much from the College. All my classmates, friends and lecturers are willing to help and support me when I have problems in lessons or achieving higher education. Also, the College provides a lot of event for us. I joined the Beijing-Tianjin exchange programme last year. I met a lot of friends and learnt many things from the trip which I cannot get it from lessons. The 2-year experience has not only given me a chance to enter university but also a space to understand myself and figure out my future path.

My year at the College was undoubtedly rewarding! Studying at the College reassured my determination to get into local universities.  I experienced quality teaching from devoted and enthusiastic lecturers. The interpersonal and studying skills I learnt here help a lot with my future life.  Moreover, the emphasis of a proactive learning style also well equips me to adapt my future studies in universities.  It was an enjoyable and fruitful experience to be one of the students at the College.
