University of British Columbia, Canada

Michelle Chan Yuen-mei | Year 4 Bachelor of Nursing (Full-time) student

It was a horizon-broadening opportunity for me to take part in this summer research internship at The University of British Columbia (UBC), particularly during the pandemic. Throughout the internship period, not only did I acquire a myriad of research skills, but I also learnt how to cooperate with others efficiently as a team. I grasped how to do self-directed learning, which has further enhanced my problem-solving skills. Besides, I got to explore Canadian cultures by visiting museums and engaging in activities related to indigenous cultures and the LGBTQ+ community.

Throughout my three months in Canada, I did not get homesick because the university is located in Vancouver, a multicultural city. There were a wide variety of cuisines for me to choose from, and I appreciated the intermingling values and traditions from a student’s perspective. I am more than happy that I could take this golden chance to explore the beauty of this place of fusion culture!
