Rachel Liao,聽studying towards a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and International Relations, French, and Chinese
"In an Arts degree you learn so many transferable skills. I鈥檓 part of a business-oriented club called Global China Connection (GCC). I鈥檓 the only Arts student there, but the skills I鈥檝e learned still got me in. When you cultivate adaptable skills like thinking outside the box, taking initiative and problem-solving you can apply them to any kind of interest or career.
...I started challenging myself to go outside my comfort zone and as a result I鈥檝e become a lot more confident. I thought UC would be scary because it鈥檚 so big, but actually the opposite was true. It鈥檚 a safe place where you can grow, develop and find out who you are."
