Students’ Comments：

The night brought to us by this High Table Dinner is destined to be an unforgettable night in our university life and even in our whole life. In such a well-designed venue for us, it seems that we become mature in a moment with formal dress. As the Dean said, from the moment we were enrolled, the university regarded us as independent adults. This special event tonight brought us not only the knowledge of banquet etiquette, but also a grand ceremony for our whole life. The future belongs to us, but only through continuous efforts and struggle can we truly grasp the future.

Every moment together with Business School members is full of happiness. Getting along with each other for more than two months let us know and understand each other. We are very glad to be able to have dinner together with the Dean, professors, teachers and students. We know that every day in Business School will be as warm as home!
