As the time passed, I think back and did a simple calculation.
I've been attending my Law degree in BAC for about 6 months now.
The first few months is a big struggle for me. Different environment, different teaching method, different materials and the biggest difference is people.
The previous college I attended have better environment and admin system as compared, but as to people, I would say BAC has the better ones.
From what I've experienced, BAC people are all humble, including the first class honor couple who are doing their 2nd degree now. People there do not plot against each other. No rivalry. No showing off. They are all very helpful and very willing to share their knowledge. They told me what I should know about this college and the teaching method. They help me fit in. They help me through the tough time. And best of all, they do not have political attitude.
In the previous college, not sure if I ever mentioned, there's this girl in my class, very automatically, both of us don't like each other. We did nothing offensive to each other before. We just don't get along from the very first day. Perhaps we think we're the threat to each other.
However, in BAC, none of this situation occur. Instead, everyone seems so friendly and likable. I made friends super easily there. Even the backbenchers are all friendly, approachable and helpful.
Lecturers in BAC are just like friends to us. We have such close ties that we can talk about everything. They are so approachable that they even gave us their personal email address and mobile number so that we can ask them question anytime. They are all fair and equal. They do not dislike any student. They even smoke cigarette together with the students before and after class, and sometimes during break. Although I don't think this is what a lecturer should do. Those practicing lecturer will always fill us in with the latest interesting case. They discuss their opinion, openly, towards the country's current affair.
The BAC people even think of me when they are dealing some universities confusion with the admin people. They helped me clear my doubt although I never told them my doubt; They include me in the uni's accommodation even without knowing that's my choice. They even called me all the way to Melbourne just to confirm my name so that they could fill in the accommodation preference just in case I missed out by the time I came back. They help me to catch up with my class whenever I absent from class. They are all super hardworking there. They do not get distracted when it is study time. We could discuss an issue and everyone get a chance to speak up and get heard. We share our opinion towards the principle. We help each other with their difficulties in studies. We are never stingy in sharing information or research we got for our assignment. We all get along so well like as if we had know each other for years. This types of friendship development, is my first time experience. Really.
I get the respect a classmate should have there. I get the attention that I've always craving for. I get to battle together with all these BAC people for our final year in KL.
And soon, I will have plenty friends in Aberystwyth since 80% of the BAC people going there. They even want me to be their housemate. This is the first time I did not do the first step of approaching but they did.
With different places, I get to see different people. And different people, I get to understand different behavior. This is what I call Life experience. Something money can't buy.
Love,
Nichole
