From my two years of joyful study at the College, I have gained not only knowledge from various lessons, but also friendship, leadership skills and practical skills. The programme truly helped me to pave the way to university as the lectures are not only interesting but lecturers are also passionate to teach more than the students expect. I feel thankful to have been given the chance to participate in the College activities as a class representative since this responsibility allowed me to become more mature while facing society. Besides, the participation in the newsletter provided me with a great chance to apply the theories which were learnt from the daily lectures, as well as experience the job duties of journalism.

My past few years at the College have provided me with an in-depth knowledge on my specialised area. On top of that, what surprised me the most is the learning style in the College. The learning atmosphere is similar to university over here. Students are encouraged to raise questions and look for answers by themselves through books and discussions with classmates. Lecturers are also more than willing to answer all kinds of questions about the related areas. Sometimes, they will also share some of their experiences so that the lectures can be more enjoyable.

At the College, we gained not only knowledge, but also a group of good lecturers, classmates and friends.

We can understand deeply about the media industry through these experiences.

To me, studying at the College was a memorable learning experience. Looking back to these three years at the College, I am thankful for what I have gained and learnt here. I remember when I first came to this College, I was anxious of adapting to this new environment. The learning style here is totally different from that of secondary schools. It emphasises self-learning, self-discipline, independent and critical thinking which is challenging but indeed helps me to prepare for my future study at university. Besides, students here are equipped with various learning opportunities apart from classroom learning. During my study, I was fortunate to have a chance to join the Beijing and Tianjin study tour. I explored more about these two cities and also myself. I had chances to try out things that I have not encountered before and met people with different cultural background.

Crime is like a puzzle and I love solving puzzle since I was small. Studying the Associate Degree programme of Applied Social Sciences in Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement gives me a chance to get to know various kinds of puzzles. It widens my horizon not only by learning different theories but also through training camps and workshops about forensic sciences and criminal justice systems. These special courses are unique that they are rarely offered by institutions in HK. This programme also leads me to a wider academic world as criminology is related to a variety of disciplines like psychology, sociology and law. The diversity courses I have studied in the College have well prepared me for my major study – Sociology at university. Apart from further study, this programme is particularly useful for people interested in law enforcement. Many lecturers are working in related field so they can share their experience with us and enables us to have a better understanding and build up social network in the field.

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.

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.

"At the beginning of my study in the College, I was confused because of the failure in the public examination. I felt so lost, I was not even able to decide my major. Yet, during this time, 書院 offered its helping hand to me. In these 3 years, the College provided us with top class lecturers. With the aid of various College resources, I could learn and grow prosperously."

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.
