Rachel Liao, 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’m part of a business-oriented club called Global China Connection (GCC). I’m the only Arts student there, but the skills I’ve 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’ve become a lot more confident. I thought UC would be scary because it’s so big, but actually the opposite was true. It’s a safe place where you can grow, develop and find out who you are."
