TEH Yingqi Yingqi graduated with the BPharm in 2005. She is from Klang, Malaysia. She heard about the Tasmanian School of Pharmacy from JM Education - an agent in Malaysia. Cheaper fees compared to other mainland universities and a cheaper cost of living attracted Yingqi to Tasmania. Yinqui feels that because of the smaller size of this school lecturers can offer more time and energy to the students. Yingqi enjoyed the Pharmacy course - and also found time to see the sights in Tasmania - she enjoyed bushwalks and white water rafting - and took photos wherever she went.
	KHOR Yet Shen Yet Shen is from Penang, Malaysia. He was given information about the Tasmanian School of Pharmacy from an education service called IDP. Hobart's airport is located in a quiet spot, about 25km from Hobart and is quite bare. Yet Shen recalls when he first arrived at the airport - he thought he had landed somewhere undeveloped! Upon crossing the Tasman Bridge the city of Hobart comes well into view and Yet Shen knew his first impression was not correct, he was pleasantly surprised! Although he had always hoped to study in the computer science area - or even electrical and electronic engineering, he enjoyed the pharmacy course. He is in his final year and especially likes the fact that the lecturers know student's names - he says it makes him feel part of a big family.Yet Shen spends his free time surfing the net, playing computer and video games, watching movies and visiting his friends. He has travelled to various parts of Tasmania and says the people are friendly and always prepared to help when you are in trouble (I hope that's not often, Yet Shen!).
	LIMUS Justin Justin first heard about the Tasmanian School of Pharmacy at the Australian High Commission in his home country, Brunei Dorusielam (he is from the city of Bardor Se Begqamas). Justin chose pharmacy as a career because he has always been interested in what goes on behind the counter in community pharmacies and hospitals. He has enjoyed the course and is now working in a community pharmacy to qualify for registration. Justin is amazed at the different climates Tasmania can produce (we have a saying here, and that is - if you don't like the weather come back in 5 minutes!) and says he enjoys the quiet, relaxed environment and atmosphere. He spends his time away from study playing computer games and travelling around Tasmania - enjoying the beautiful scenery and the quietness.
	YEE KwangChoon KwangChoon is from Kuching, Malaysia. He completed his Year 12 studies at Hobart College in Tasmania. He did not know what studies he wanted to do at the end of this time, but was helped along in his decision-making by being awarded a scholarship to the School. KwangChoon graduated in 2003 with BPharm(Hons), having enrolled in the Integrated Honours program which allowed him to do an overload in years 3 and 4 to complete Honours (having had at least a credit average in first and second years). Although KwangChoon had a heavy study load, he still made time for hanging out with his friends, watching TV - he enjoys sports and wandering on the internet. He has visited some areas of Tasmania, and has enjoyed these trips. He also enjoys the food - although he doesn't specify which type! Footnote: KwangChoon has been accepted into the PhD program with the School. Starting in 2005 he will begin a project on asthma with supervisor Dr Glenn Jacobson.
