Living and Learning

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you've had a good break. I certainly have.

I've decided I'd like to close this blog... for a few reasons, which I'll probably explain in my next and (probably) last post. Before that I really wanted to write about one topic which I've come to realise most issues revolve around: living and learning.

Most of us who signed up for the UTCP (previously UTRP) in colleges like Tembusu, were sold on this idea of 'living and learning'. What I remember being told, and what I tell my friends, juniors and prospective student-residents is that these colleges are places where the boundaries of the classroom are blurred. It is a space where people are interested in learning, where knowledge and skills outside of the textbook are valued, an environment for growth.
