Elvira's effort paid off when she got admitted to HKU as a recipient of the HKU Foundation Scholarship. Despite not being able to come to campus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she still has a pleasant online learning experience thanks to the university's flexibility in learning arrangements and excellent support for online learning during the pandemic. 

The Common Core programme in HKU allows students to explore a range of subject fields, from philosophy, visual arts to sexuality and global issues.
