LAI Wanting, Sophia (UG, 2023)
It was truly a blessing that I could major in Economics at Lingnan University. I enjoyed my time so much when I was sharing, exchanging, and discussing opinions and experiences in the field of economics with my peers and all those people sharing common interests with me. There were so many intriguing courses and activities offered by our department that fascinated me. After completing the fundamental courses, we could select the areas that we gained interest in and then study and even undertake research in these areas. The Junior Research Project, as well as the Senior Thesis, were exactly the programmes that would grant a fairly high degree of freedom to let us explore our curiosity. Some of the courses were conducted along with Service Learning which meant that the practical, field-trip-like activities would be an integral part of the study. Taking one of my experiences as an example, The Hong Kong Housing Market included a trip to To Kwa Wan to observe and interview the situation of sub-divided housing was really something meaningful since it offered us opportunities to take a deep look at what the sub-divided houses genuinely looked like. Of course, there were many more opportunities, like part-time jobs, scholarships, exchange experience, etc., that I acquired within these years. I feel sincerely grateful to all the professors and staff who have been working so faithfully in the department. I would still keep myself trying and endeavoring in this field and wish to achieve more and more and more.It was truly a blessing that I could major in Economics at Lingnan University.
