我在北師大上課的時候,老師也不會提前將教學資料發給我們,所以每一節課都需要全神貫注的聽講,記筆記。課後也沒有像香港一樣的Tutorial。如果有不明白的問題,只能在下課的時候趕快去問老師。北京師範大學法學院的老師都是在內地法律界有名的。很多法律也與香港有很大的區別,在交換期間我也瞭解到有關行政法的相關知識。另外,學校也有法學社,在社團裡也可以和同學們一起進行法律辯論、觀點交流。

北京師範大學交流感想
一開始到達北師大後,建議同學先到學校附近的銀行申請一個銀行戶口,方便匯款、領錢。比較推薦的銀行是中國銀行和工商銀行,前者在學校交流生的宿舍對面有一間分行,比較方便同學親自到銀行處理事務;後者則在校外有比較多的分行和提款機。
生活用品大部分都是到北太平莊或者積水潭的物美超級市場購買,同學亦可到校內北區的教工超市和西區的學子超市。
初來時在校內飯堂用餐不一定適應,因為內地的食物普遍比香港重口味。學校裡有教工食堂、學五食堂、清真食堂、新樂群食堂。如果想要自己煮飯,教工超市也有米和菜可以買。

I had the opportunity to participate in an exchange program with the China University of Political Science and Law (CUPL), one of the most prestigious universities in the study of law in China. I learned the difference between the legal systems of Hong Kong and the Mainland and improved my legal thinking.
I was also learned from different teaching methods and legal systems. I had joined activities organized by student societies to get a glimpse on the cultural aspect in university life there.
It is a very valuable opportunity to choose to study on exchange at CUPL to have learned law, meeting excellent teachers and classmates.
My Experience in China University of Political Science and Law
Chen Jinyu, Bella
Because of the pandemic, I was unable to tour all of Beijing during my exchange days at China University of Political Science and Law. However, I had more time to explore the university. In the Law Yuan Court, I could constantly see students studying diligently, and everyone in the classroom was so focused on listening to the lectures. Teachers are graceful and passionate and people here are kind and welcoming. It is true that learning never stops, and both this exchange and my four years at Shue Yan are memorable experiences that have kept me on the path of legal studies.
中國政法大學交流生活的分享

對於從小在南方長大的我來說,北方的雪、北方的人文、北方的美食,甚至北方的一切都令人感到新鮮和嚮往。
在中國政法大學,校方詳盡的入學安排、和藹的老師、親切的室友等等讓我很快就開啟了在北京的學習、生活,並樂在其中。
作為中國最高法學學府之一,在法學方面,中國政法大學提供了豐富的法學課程。在交流期間我修讀了民法和憲法的法律學科,在課堂上,教授對學生們傾囊相授,讓我更是受益良多。在課堂上能夠聽到各位老師對於法律深刻的闡釋,和對未來法律發展所期待的方向,這些內容,無時無刻不改變著我看待法律思維和方式,警醒著要更全面地看待案例或是社會事件。
在中國政法大學,我認識到了很多志同道合的朋友,我們會一起討論上課遇到的疑點,會在圖書館裡一起學習,也會討論對未來的規劃。在短暫的三個多月之中,我們互相幫助、一起成長,收穫了寶貴的友誼。
回望交換,我非常感激一路上幫助過我,讓我能夠順利完成交換的老師、朋友、家人,也感謝當時不斷走出舒適圈、勇於嘗試的自己。在中國政法大學交換雖然短暫,但卻彌足珍貴,讓我受益良多。

Half a year of exchange life passed in the blink of an eye. Recalling the past exchanges of the Chinese University of Political Science and Law - the first exchange of life, my mood becomes complicated. I remember the moments from the beginning of the departure, my expectation, nervousness, and worry, failure of adapt to the new life in Beijing in the beginning, slowly adapting and getting to like that city, until the last reluctance, attachment; from the initial feeling that the half a year was very long until finally I loved to stay t. It seems to be in the blink of an eye.
Reasons for choosing Beijing
I had been to Beijing once only before this exchange, and that was the main reason for pushing me going to Beijing.
That was an event that went to the CUPL organized by our Department of Law and Business. At that time, I was not very enthusiastic about the short-term exchange activities that I had with a few of my classmates. I didn’t seem to notice too much about the details of this exchange. Later, some classmates suggested a group of us together joining the exchange activity. I thought about it. In fact, I have never tried to participate in any communication activities before. So, I said yes, even though I was considering that as a travel tour, not an academic one, at that moment.
After arriving in Beijing, the first feeling is that Beijing is very different from Hong Kong, and the most obvious difference is the rhythm of people's life and the sense of space in the place. The people on the road seemed to be very relaxed and relaxed. Some of them sat quietly reading a book by the river; some chatted easily with the three confidants on the street; some sat in the cafe and slowly enjoyed their coffee. I suddenly became very relaxed all the time, as if I was temporarily out of the cramps and irritations of Hong Kong.
The school life there was comfortable. Absolutely Beijing is bigger than Hong Kong in city size, and therefore the campus is relatively large. I remember that I had free time one night. I had a slow walk in the CUPL campus with my friends. I remember that it was just the season, breeze blowing, and I felt very comfortable. We walked slowly on different floors and visited to a study room, at around 9 to 10 pm. I guessed there should be no more people studying at night, so I wondered why the lights were still on. However, I was wrong. There were probably more than a hundred seats in it, and half of them were full. My friends and I were all surprised, while I also learned about my own shortcomings. That had also made me more interested in Beijing. I really want to continue to explore the difference between Beijing and Hong Kong. It is a pity that this exchange lasted only for a short week, just like walking around. Many things were too late for me to explore. After that, I told myself that if there is any other exchange activities in Beijing in the future, I will definitely participate. Therefore, when I knew that the school had a joint exchange with the CUPL, I immediately signed up after discussing with my family.
In addition, I am also very interested in the laws of mainland China and would like to know more about the differences between Chinese law and Hong Kong law. Therefore, among the many choices, I decided to put the CUPL, a doubtlessly famous university in Chinese law, in the first ranking of the options. I am very glad that I can be selected at the end.
An unforgettable experience in Beijing
The most memorable experience in Beijing is that I met a group of friends there. We studied together and traveled to different places together. That was the first time that we had the opportunity to interact with exchange students from different regions. We have learned about the cultures and habits of different places. What we have learned and learned is beyond the textbooks. In addition, in that exchange, we also took advantage of the free time outside the classroom to go to different places in Beijing, even to the nearby cities to see, for example, Forbidden City, Summer Palace, Great Wall, 789 Art District, Beihai Park and so on, and other cities like Tianjin, Xi'an, Qingdao, and Jinan.
That half year of exchange was one of the most memorable things in my college life, and it brought me a variety of experiences. In addition, I gained a lot from that exchange trip indeed. On the night I left Beijing, I had an unforgettable dinner time with a few classmates and roommates. We enjoyed the happy moments that night while we understood that starting from the next day, no one knows when we could meet each other again. I answered them. I will come back again, definitely.

中國政法大學交流感想:
半年的交流生活在轉眼間就過去了,回想起當初戰戰兢兢的過去中國政法大學交流--人生第一次的交流,心情是多麼複雜。由當初出發時候的期盼、緊張、擔心, 到了北京的不習慣,慢慢適應及變為喜歡, 直到最後的依依不捨,眷戀;由最初覺得半年很長直到最後覺得時間太短想繼續留下去。這都彷彿都在一眨眼之間。
來北京的原因:
在此交流之前我只去過北京一次,而那一次卻正正是推動我来北京的主要原因。
那次是屬於我們法律與商業學系舉辦的一個去北京政法大學的活動。當時我和幾個身邊幾個同學在本系發佈此短期交流活動的時候其實並不太踴躍,大家亦似乎沒有太注意到此項交流活動的詳情。相隔一段日子,突然由身邊的同學提出不如我們一起報這項活動,我想了想其實都好啊,反正我之前都沒試過參與過任何的交流活動, 儘管我那時候是抱著一種旅遊的心態。
到了北京後,第一個感覺是北京跟香港很不同,而最明顯的分別就是人們生活的節奏及地方的空間感。路上的人彷彿都很放鬆,很悠閒,有些在河邊一個人坐著靜靜的看書;有些在街上與三五知己輕輕鬆鬆的聊天;有些坐在咖啡廳慢慢地享受自己的咖啡。頓時間我整個人都變得很輕鬆,彷彿暫時脫離了香港的侷促與煩囂。
校院裡的生活很愜意,舒適。北京比香港大,校園亦因此相對比較大。記得有一天晚上有自由時間,我和朋友一起慢慢的走到政法大學,感受一下晚上的校園生活。記得那時候剛剛轉季,吹著微風,非常舒服。我們在不同的樓層慢慢走著,走到了一個自習室,那時候已經是差不多九點多十點。我想,那麼晚應該不會還有人在自習吧,為甚麼燈還在亮。 然而我錯了,裏面大概有百多個座位,一半都是滿的。我和朋友都很驚訝,但同時亦了解到自己的不足。這亦令我對北京更加感興趣了,我很想繼續去發掘北京與香港的不同。可惜的是,這此交流只有短短的一個星期, 就像走馬看花,很多東西還來不及就要走了。之後我跟自己說,如果將來再有去北京的交流活動,我一定會參加。因此,當我知道學校有與北京政法大學合辦的交流活動後,跟家人商量後就馬上報名了。
此外,我亦對中國大陸的法律很感興趣,想了解更多有關中國法律與香港法律的不同。所以,在眾多的選擇中,我決定把在中國大陸法律非常有名的學府-中國政法大學放在選項中第一個排名。很慶幸最後可以被挑選到。
在北京交流難忘的經歷:
在北京最難忘的經歷是遇到了一群一起交流的朋友,我們一起學習,一起去不同的地方旅行。這是第一次有機會與來自不同國家的交流生一起交流,當中了解到不同地方的文化及習慣,所接觸到及學到的,是超越課本上所看到的。此外,在這次的交流中,我們亦有趁著課堂以外的空閒時間到北京不同的地方,甚至是附近的城市去看看。比如有:故宮、頤和園、萬里長城、789藝術區、北海公園等等。此外,亦有去其他的城市,比如天津、西安、青島、濟南……。
在課堂上,同學們也很友善,樂於助人。作為一個交流生剛剛去到北京,我對政法大學頗為陌生。而在剛開課時,對與當地的學習模式不熟悉往往令到我在課堂上很迷茫。一般來說,同學們在上課的時候都非常專心,當我遇到問題想問問身旁的同學的時候,都怕會影響到他們以及他們會不高興。但有一次,我真的是太不知所措了,我鼓起勇氣問旁邊的同學。想不到他很樂意的幫助我,甚至在課堂完結之後把自己的筆記借給我,叫我把筆記的內容記下後下星期才還給他。另外,亦有其他同學知到我是交流生後,亦很樂意去幫助我,在功課上做出指導以及告訴我怎樣去應對考試。

武漢大學交換學習分享
武漢大學法學院(“武大法學院”)是中國大陸屈指可數的法學名校。不僅歷史悠久,學術底蘊深厚,它還注重在均衡發展的基礎上,發展特色領域。在師資和教學體系上,均衡發展各類細分法學專業。武大法學院同時大力推動國際法和環境法的研究,成立了武漢大學國際法研究所,力爭與世界和國際接軌。對於每一個學習法律的學生來講,武大法學院是法律學術的殿堂,作為法商系一位四年級學生的我有幸能夠體驗其優秀的課堂。
武漢大學不僅提供豐富的課程,在課堂模式上也是極具創新性。在學習“犯罪學”課程時,教授會帶著全班同學前往武漢當地的戒毒所進行參觀和學習,並且提供了一個可以與戒毒人員進行面對面訪談的機會。學生們不僅可以觀察他們的日常生活,還可以全面地了解他們在犯罪背後的深層原因。學生們可以從一個獨特的角度審視與吸毒相關的犯罪行為。作為學習法律的學生,學生們要學習的不僅是條文和如何定他們的罪,而是思考犯罪行為本身和如何幫助社會減少犯罪。
在這一學期中在武漢大學體驗到的學術文化與人文魅力,在武漢這座城市接受到的熱情與幫助都為我法商系四年級學生的大學生活添上了濃墨重彩的一筆。
