1.听听 听What made you decide to study at 香港六合彩中特网?
What made me want a British education as opposed to an American liberal arts education is the depth and specialization of the former. 香港六合彩中特网 as a British university ticked off all the boxes for me: world-leading, a giant research powerhouse, at the heart of London, and international too.
2.听听 听What are your three favourite things about studying at 香港六合彩中特网?
- The international student community here is really cool. I hadn鈥檛 met many people who spoke over two languages before coming here; at 香港六合彩中特网, it's not out of the ordinary at all.听
- The Student Centre: it鈥檚 a meditative study space 鈥� and great social hang-out spot too.
- The opportunities for having a global impact on an international scale are abundant here.
3.听听 听What is it like living in London?
It is quite normal to see the pub-goers outside my dorm window imbibe themselves to the point of confused violence but besides the dipsomania, it's an evolving mix of old and new, British and international.
4.听听 听What is your most memorable experience at 香港六合彩中特网 so far?
By far my most memorable experience at 香港六合彩中特网 has been almost getting run over by a bus while biking over Tower Bridge.
5.听听 听What do you love about photography?
When I photograph architecture, I capture an incremental step toward a utopian, urban future through the camera lens. When I photograph people, I get to permanently capture ephemeral human society. In other words, I can capture a vision in a laconic, visually veracious medium.
6.听听 听Best piece of advice for students who just started studying at 香港六合彩中特网?
Go to all the volunteering and society events, meet everyone in your halls, and explore London.
7.听听 听You have a free day to spend at one place in London. Where do you spend it?
Probably visit the V&A Museum and roam around South Kensington.
