King’s College London, UK

Miss Sharon Tsang Hoi-ching | Year 3 Bachelor of Nursing (Full-time) student

I am so grateful for the lovely time I spent in the UK and different European countries during my exchange study. Despite the challenging time of COVID, I embarked on a fresh new study experience at King’s College London (KCL) where I enjoyed immersing myself in Roman and Greek Classics, Film Studies, Biblical Hebrew and Greek Language Education – subjects that were challenging but definitely eye-opening.

KCL has prestigious Nursing schools, so I welcomed the chance to attend a sharing session about general practice nursing where I learnt about the primary healthcare network in London. I also applied for voluntary work at local vaccination sites, wishing to help the locals with all I have and make the most of the exchange.

The best part of my time here was surely going around with new friends and international buddies. I had nice chats with a local on the homelessness situations in London and Hong Kong and I exchanged ideas on society and culture. I cherished every moment here. Apart from experiencing the British night life and social activities, the UK was a lovely place for me-time, which I spent visiting museums and libraries, sitting in parks, and walking along the seaside.

And of course, I had opportunities to travel to nearby European countries where I had even more cultural experiences. Visiting the almost-2000-year-old Colosseum after taking the Roman Classics course was a dream come true! But my favourite experiences so far were Icelandic nature and the Croatian vacation vibe. Travelling to experience different cultures has now become an interest of mine!
