Xinyu Wang, Shanghai University, EEECS Studies
"The moment I got on the shuttle bus, I felt a strong sense of loss. Belfast is one of the best city I have ever been to. I still remember the sunny afternoon when I held a video chat with my family. Walking on the peaceful street without any destination, I was fully surrounded by the light fresh air.
"Besides the lovely city, Queen’s university also brought me a fresh view of learning. Within the four-week summer school, Analog electronics and JAVA lessons were taken to us. Actually, it was somehow a challenge for we Chinese students to catch up with teachers at the beginning. However, it was so kind of Queen’s university to prepare several teaching assistants and I could feel the teacher slowed down his teaching process on purpose. We came here and stayed for 4 weeks, and we really learned something which can be very useful in our domestic study. By the way, I really enjoy the dormitory and the careful service.
"I will always keep this beautiful memory, and I sincerely hope that I could come back to Queen’s campus again."
