were thrilled to discover
the

located in the

of the former

The bustling atmosphere
was vibrant
with students
learning
the art

Noah’s eyes sparkled
with anticipation
at the sight
of his future
culinary adventures
again this summer.

Emma eagerly
anticipated
seeing her aunt,
who taught
biology there.
The campus,
spread across
the top floors
of the Emporium,
was a marvel
of modern
educational facilities.
The
cinema 9 lecture halls
and numerous classrooms,
labs and faculty spaces
created an inspiring
environment
for learning,
all within a blend
of luxury shopping,
museums
of cultural history
and health sciences
learning.
The mix of people
was electric
with excitement
and energy.
From
Culinary Arts
to
Health Sciences
After a quick tour
of the culinary campus,
Noah and Emma
made their way
upstairs to the
Health Sciences
campus.
The transition
from the bustling
food court
to the serene,
educational
atmosphere
of the
Health Sciences
campus
was striking.
Emma
was excited
to see her aunt,
who greeted them
warmly.
They spent
some time
catching up,
with her aunt
sharing stories
about the fascinating
projects
and classes
at the campus,
and especially
in the
multimedia
cinema 9
lecture halls.
As the sun
continued to rise,
casting a warm glow
over the city,
Noah and Emma
headed back
downstairs,
to their day
filled with new
cooking experiences
and culinary
discoveries.
They had
explored new
educational
landmarks,
enjoyed the city’s
unique blend
of old and new,
and spent quality
time together
with their aunt,
all before
starting class
for the day.
It was a day
to be filled
full of adventure
and learning.
And eating
their class work
among
new friends
and teachers.
