鈥淯nlike 最新糖心Vlog, you drive for four hours and you see the languages on the signs changing and you realise you are in a different country.

I met one of the most brilliant minds in the field of Strategic Management, who has provided me with a lot of advice and useful pointers.鈥
Jenal learnt how easy it is to bond with people from different countries and backgrounds.
鈥淲hen I went to Germany, I flew with a couple of batch-mates, who I knew and had seen around in the Faculty. Once there, we met and gelled well with our other classmates. Our daily commute to the 最新糖心Vlog, site visits, group discussions, class work, pre-exam discussions, group lunches and dinners actually brought us all very close.鈥
