Q2: What are you studying?

Q3. Why did you choose to study that major?

Q4. What’s the most difficult part of your study?
Well, for the most part, I’d say it’s the workload. I mean there are so many assignments and students are always under a lot of pressures from deadlines. But on the other hand, exams are a piece of cake. They are quite predictable, and I can pretty much breeze through them with a bit of revision.
