I never expected to step into such a welcoming environment at HKU SPACE. The lecturers were all very heart-warming and eager to help, whether the issues were academic or personal. I have met new friends that I still have contact with and are very close to this day. The experiences I had with my fellow classmates, academically and socially, were very valuable for my personal development. All in all, communication is definitely key around HKU SPACE. View Details

During my past semesters' study in HKU SPACE, I have built up a solid foundation of knowledge, especially a sense of humanities and well logical training, that makes me have better preparation for entering the university. Consummate facilities are provided to students. After changing to a new learning environment, I found the pleasure of learning, which allow me to understand the meaning of studying and a set of learning methods that most suit me. View Details

Two years in HKU SPACE CC has passed in the blink of an eye, to conclude my studies, I’d say I’m grateful for everything as being an “astronaut”. Here in the boundless universe of knowledge, it is easy to get lost, to feel abandoned, especially when you have been discouraged by the unsatisfactory results in public examinations; yet, CC is just like a spaceship, providing you with everything you need, getting you prepared for your destination. For me, CC is exactly where I started my literary journey. As a student in the English Studies theme, I have had the best experience in finding my own way. “You’ll never know unless you try,” Without the wide range of choices provided by the College, I would not be who I am proud of today, a literature enthusiast. With the top quality lectures, accompanied by the best lecturers, all CC has taught me is to have faith. Have faith in yourself, think big, wear your best confidence; then someday when you walk out of the College, you’d look back (like a boss), you’d smile and whisper, “Thank you.” View Details

HKU SPACE CC has enabled me to achieve my goal of entering university, because teachers in HKU SPACE CC were willing to help with my learning, and SDCS equipped me with important knowledge of non-JUPAS applications. When I came across any questions about lecture concepts, I asked my teachers after lessons or by email. Their willingness to address my queries helped me to understand the concepts more clearly and to digest such concepts more effectively. They also offered me clear guidance on developing my assignments in the right direction. Regarding further studies activities organised by SDCS, I benefited from an information session on ‘local study opportunities’, a sharing session on ‘successful university applications’, workshops on ‘choosing a university and writing a personal statement’ and ‘effective interview skills for university applications and mock interviews for university admission’, as well as an briefing session by an individual university/programme. I learnt important strategies for non-JUPAS applications and related interview skills after participating in these activities. Moreover, during individual counselling, counsellors solved my questions about university applications, and taught me stress management skills. In short, HKU SPACE CC has made my dream of entering university come true, with helpful teachers and support for non-JUPAS applications. View Details

Studying in college can be stressful and miserable. I am glad that I asked myself 3 questions during the past two years. The first question was “What are you going to focus on?” After being defeated in the public examinations, most students chose to focus on the fact that they were not good at studying. That was why they often felt frustrated. Instead, I looked at it from a completely different perspective. I thought of the experience as a way to grow and learn, which let me stay positive and motivated. The next question was “What meanings do you ascribe to things?”, the defeat in public examination meant nothing but a time for me to change. Certainly, there were problems in my learning strategies and I had to improve them. Finally, “What are you going to do?”. I chose to put all my laser focus on studying. During this journey, I am grateful to meet my best friend, the most inspiring teacher in my life. I am not a fan of cliché, but the moral of my story is very simple. When life gives you lemons, please, please make lemonade. View Details
