My main mantra is to “try everything”. Although<br />
stepping outside your comfort zone can be scary,<br />
it can also be fun. The time when I became a<br />
freshman at HKU was unfortunately when the<br />
pandemic first began. Understandably, the<br />
pandemic has caught most universities off-guard<br />
which resulted in many orientation programmes<br />
being cancelled. For this reason, my learning<br />
process was one that lacked guidance and I<br />
struggled during the transition from being a high<br />
school student to a freshman. Fortunately, I soon<br />
met my close-knit circle of friends by actively<br />
reaching out in lectures and tutorials. From<br />
supporting each other academically to hanging out<br />
and playing board games, we navigate through<br />
the uncertainties and rise to the challenges<br />
together. To my fellow cohorts— do not worry too<br />
much about university and enjoy your high school<br />
life while you can!<br />
Hello <strong>CKY</strong>! I am Lucia Yeung from Class of 2020 and am<br />
studying for a Bachelor of Laws in HKU. It is no doubt<br />
that the pandemic has affected every community across<br />
the planet. The difficulties and frustrations that have<br />
been felt at times over the switch to online have<br />
reminded us of the value and pleasure of face-to-face<br />
teaching and learning, which we used to take for granted.<br />
Although university lectures and tutorials were conducted<br />
virtually, I find it to be fruitful as I had the opportunity to<br />
engage with professors and tutors on different legal<br />
topics. For example, in studying criminal law, we often<br />
debated whether alcohol-induced hallucinosis due to the<br />
sudden cession of drugs should be treated on par with<br />
intoxication in Hong Kong. Besides law, I have also<br />
found my course about entrepreneurship to be<br />
rewarding. I had the opportunity to interact with small<br />
businesses discussing the problems they face amid the<br />
pandemic. Participating in a case competition with my<br />
teammates was also an eye-opening experience as they<br />
frequently offered innovative arguments and new ways to<br />
approach the business problem.<br />
A rewarding experience in joining virtual cross-cultural<br />
research<br />
