LSE-PKU Summer Program STUDY LIFE

I am BACK

recently i have taken part LSE-PKU Summer Program on 12 August till 23 August

it is a really nice experience in my life

because i can be an International student in a big campus

and so can enjoy the facilities over there and also met a lot of friends who come from differ countries

let me share about my study life within the two weeks

basically it is an intensive program

we have to study from Monday to Friday

8.30AM until 3.00PM/4.20PM

this program had offered about 13 courses which focus on China and Asia in subjects

including management, economics, international relations, law, media and so on

Overall it is a two-week English-language international program offered university-level courses

And i had chosen CHINA'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

i m interested either in economic or in culture of China

therefore i had chosen this course in this program

i have studied the recommended book before attending this class

so i had not much stress in these two weeks

HOWEVER

i had presentation, essay and final exam in these two weeks

sound like exhausting and tiring

but I HAVE DONE

this was my first time doing presentation in front of these ABC friends

i was nervous actually because i scared that they would not understand what im talking about

but luckily they did understand and even had a good comment from them

they just felt weird about my Malaysia slang 

( i know right >.<)

ESSAY

this was the most difficult task for me

because it is not a simple essay

basically it is a research and i have to find some new point on my research

overall it is a THESIS

i never wrote this before in my university

and plagiarism is PROHIBITED

so i think this is the stressful part i had

i stayed in my hotel for half of the day

and forced myself to finish the essay since the due date was the NEXT DAY

and so i missed a delicious dinner

>.<

FINAL EXAM

basically it looked like my history exam

because the questions all were about the reasons or background of the reformations

blablablablabla...

well IT IS OVER

okay now i would like to share about the facilities in PKU

one word GREAT

it is a really big comparison to Malaysia Campus

first, it is bigger than ours

second, the facilities over here are completed

third, it is super convenient to the students

i had lost in first two days within the campus

because i really didnt know where i had gone

but luckily after that im familiar with the ways haha

the library here oso very very BIG

6-level of this building

and the study rooms over here is super convenient

because it is opened from 7am to 10.30pm

so i had prepared my final and done my research in the buildings

LIBRARY

STUDY ROOMS

CANTEEN

super BIG and CHEAP

my lunch only cost me around RM5

with a bowl of rice, a plate of vege and meat

if you felt bored with the food in canteen

you can also try the restaurants within the campus

and ya forgot to mention

we can pay by STUDENT CARD

in short our student card is also a debit card

CONVENIENT TILL THE MAX!!

FOOD IN CANTEEN

SUPERMARKET

ya it is located within the campus

i bought my water over here by using my student card also

and bought some biscuits over there

BANK

i had changed my HK dollar within the campus

well banking system in China is really complicated

i have to fill in the form and also photostat my passport

it is good to have a debit/credit card to use in China actually

PRINTING SERVICE

i have to print out my essay as our lecturer need a hard copy

so i went to a shop within the campus and printed my essay

only RM0.05 for each copy

and it is opened at 7am

damn CONVENIENT and CHEAP right??!!

OVERALL

im so happy that i have this chance to be an international student in these two weeks

and i APPRECIATED it~~^^

i can use all these facilities by using my student card also

the most important is

I HAVE SPOKEN IN ENGLISH IN THESE TWO WEEKS

exclude speaking in mandarin with local people =)

ENVIRONMENT IN CAMPUS

PS:
ya i almost forgot to share the environment within the campus
i cant calculate how big it is
but i can tell you that it has a lake and a building which look like a temple
and it has around 6 gates/entrance within the campus
and i took about 10-15mins walk from a gate to another gate
so you can imagine how big it is, right??
