What are the basic characteristics of college life?
1, learning autonomy.

From middle school to university, the contents of teaching and learning have changed, and the learning methods have also changed. As a college student, we should not only learn the basic knowledge of science and culture, but also learn professional knowledge and practical skills. At the same time, we should understand the professional development and gain insight into the latest developments of science and technology. There are many contents to learn, heavy tasks and high requirements. On the one hand, these depend on the guidance of teachers, and more importantly, we must overcome dependence and rely on students to actively study, think and explore. Only in this way can we train ourselves as a qualified professional who can solve practical problems independently as soon as possible.

2. Independence in life.

In middle school, many students eat and live at home, and everything is arranged by their parents. Students themselves don't do housework, spend money, and don't need to take care of themselves. Of course, it is impossible to cultivate self-care ability. In college, we live in a collective life, and all the above things should be arranged and handled by ourselves. If you want to arrange your study, life and health care satisfactorily, you must cultivate a strong ability to live independently.

3. The extensiveness of interpersonal communication.

Universities, especially those with national enrollment, have students from all corners of the country. Students from different regions come together to become classmates for a common goal (knowledge) and spend four to five years together. Due to study, life, work and various recreational activities, students need to communicate with each other, between classes, between grades, between different departments and majors, and some students have to participate in some community activities. By participating in different forms of activities, we have increased the communication between students and greatly broadened our horizons. They made some new friends, enhanced the friendship between classmates, and the cultural exchanges between classmates brought out the best in each other, so that each of them would learn a lot of knowledge and have a great influence on a person's growth.

4. System and self-discipline in management.

University rules and regulations are generally sound. Schools should regulate students' behavior through these rules and regulations. University management not only emphasizes strict system, but also pays more attention to cultivating students' consciousness and ability of self-management, self-education, self-service and self-restraint in daily management. Freshmen should seriously study the rules and regulations of the school, and consciously abide by the rules and regulations of the school. They can neither be fined a yellow card in their studies (such as failing, repeating a grade, and being eliminated quantitatively) nor run a red light in discipline (such as being punished for cheating in exams, fighting, etc.). The system is used to regulate people's behavior, which is mandatory to some extent. It is more important for college students to establish a sense of self-discipline.

Characteristics and requirements of university life

University life has the characteristics of multi-content and multi-level. We can divide the environment in which college students live into learning environment, ideological environment, living environment, interpersonal environment and activity environment. These different levels of environment are different from the situation and conditions of middle school life, so they show different characteristics. Understanding these characteristics is of positive significance for adapting to the environment; Conforming to these characteristics helps students choose reasonable behavior.

Compared with middle school study, university study is a more independent and creative activity.

1, learning content:

The curriculum content of middle school belongs to single-level (basic) knowledge, while the curriculum content of university belongs to multi-level (divided into basic courses, professional basic courses and professional courses) knowledge. Middle schools teach "absolute truth", while universities not only teach truth, but also teach students to distinguish truth and critically absorb knowledge. Students have to major in more than 30 courses and take many courses in four years, which makes university study incomparable in terms of the number of courses and the breadth and depth of teaching content. Modern scientific and technological knowledge is constantly updated, which is reflected in the university teaching by constantly adding new knowledge and updating old knowledge. Higher education requires students to master knowledge, exercise their ability to adapt to creative activities and establish a reasonable and perfect intelligent structure, which is far higher than that of middle schools.

2, the form of learning:

University learning stage is the continuation and improvement of middle school learning stage, but it is different from middle school in learning form because of its many contents, great difficulty and high requirements. In middle school, teachers' classroom teaching and less experiments are the main teaching forms, and less time is spent on self-study. The examination of learning effect and quality mainly depends on regular tests and a large number of homework corrections. The leading role of middle school teachers in teaching is very prominent, and students' choice and subjective initiative in learning are relatively limited. Of course, this teaching form is effective for middle school students who are weak in self-study, independent activities, self-discipline and control. In university study, besides classroom teaching, there are a series of auxiliary teaching activities, and all teaching links are closely linked to form a complete teaching system. Among them, self-study and practice are placed in an important position, which requires college students to have the consciousness and ability to study and work independently, and to have the spirit of innovation and practical ability. The assessment of learning effect and quality adopts irregular assessment methods, which gives students greater autonomy in learning. With the deepening of higher education reform, there are more and more opportunities for college students to choose to study. For example, junior college students can be promoted to undergraduate courses in various ways, undergraduates can study minor subjects, undergraduates can attend lectures across disciplines and majors, and outstanding undergraduates can apply for early graduation. These measures are conducive to mobilizing college students' learning enthusiasm and cultivating talents.

3. Learning methods:

Changes in learning content and form will inevitably lead to changes in learning methods. Students generally form handy methods to adapt to middle school learning in middle school. Among them, good listening, good memory and good exams are the core. However, this method often doesn't work when admitted to the university, so many students are in a passive position. Practice has proved that college students must explore a set of learning methods that adapt to the laws and characteristics of college learning. The basic requirement is not to memorize, but to understand, master and use flexibly. ? In learning activities, students should be good at making learning plans according to the actual situation, arranging and controlling time, determining the order of reviewing and completing homework, judging the key and difficult points of each course and the share of time and energy invested in the plan. The life of learning lies in high efficiency. Students who are good at learning will make their studies orderly, busy and not chaotic, and have higher efficiency; Students who are not good at learning are in a state of hurry and passive response because of lack of planning and willpower. It is very important for students to cultivate the habit and ability of self-study in their study. They should be good at managing time, learn to use brain art, and effectively complete their learning tasks.
