Jasmine Embarks On PurpleTrain.com to the 21st Century Lifestyle

Malaysian Jasmine Kee is a modern 21st Century lady, which is why she chose to undertake her Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Computing from the University of Portsmouth via e-Learning through PurpleTrain.com.

Jasmine had recently completed her Advanced Diploma with Informatics and decided to undertake the final year programme via PurpleTrain.com because it offered her the shortest route to getting her degree at an affordable fee.

This independent lady enjoys the convenience that e-Learning affords her as she does not have to travel to classes. She realizes self-discipline plays an important part in her studies as there are no lecturers or tutors to constantly nag her to do her homework.

To unwind from the stress of studying, Jasmine indulges herself in a plethora of activities, from shopping to singing karaoke to playing video games on the computer or PlayStation 2. Truly, this spunky lady is one who is living the 21st Century lifestyle.
