The CUHK business school is full of inspiring courses. I was enlightened by courses such as economics, marketing, accounting, business management, to name but just a few. Besides that, knowledge from other major are also applicable to business major, such as practical use of mathematics, statistics and psychology. The all-rounded curriculum is well designed that it widened my horizon in different fields. It allows me to enjoy the intellectual pleasure without any pressure from the public examinations.
Apart from academic study, I strongly agree that we should develop our own character at the university. It would be a definite advantage if we could expand our social circle to enrich our network. In Chinese there is a norm saying “knowing people is much better than being knowledgeable”. I would not say it is mistaken, but it is a false dichotomy. In fact, we could have achieved both without sacrificing any of them. The simplest way to know more people is to actively participate in college events. College is a place where students from various academic background gather together to play and interact. The college system plays an important role in connecting students with different majors. If you are hungry to meet new friends, please do not hesitate to join more activities in Shaw College.
Last but not least, four years time would be too short to achieve anything. Treasure your time at CUHK and do not let yourself regret for any moment. It would be an unforgettable journey in your life. “Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.”
