Rest and Reconnect: A Lesson About Kiasu

Pick Your People
Happy Friday! After the full week of travel during Reflective week, it has been refreshing to be back in Liverpool this week! To echo the words of another friend studying abroad, I hadn’t realized how much Liverpool had started to feel like home until I returned from Italy. On Sunday, I left the city center …

At Liverpool Hope University (LHU), terms are split into four weeks of class followed by a reflective week.
