In 2005, Nanjing University, Southeast University, Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing University of Science and Technology and many other Nanjing colleges and universities learned that in 2005, colleges and universities began to require freshmen to enter the school frugally, clearly stipulating that freshmen should not bring their own computers, and other "expensive" items that were not helpful to learning were also required not to be brought into colleges and universities. Admissions experts believe that advocating thrift is conducive to the growth of new students.

Wang Qiang, deputy director of the Student Affairs Office of Southeast University, said that according to school regulations, freshmen are not allowed to bring their own computers. Only in the second grade can we consider whether to allow the use of computers according to the needs and students' academic performance. Deputy Director Wang explained, "Students' self-control is not strong, and many students are addicted to the Internet, which affects their study.

Many schools prohibit freshmen from bringing computers.

Some universities in Wuhan have previously issued regulations that freshmen are not allowed to buy computers. They think that freshmen have insufficient knowledge of university life and scientific use of computers, and their self-control is weak. Proper restraint can promote them to form good study habits and effectively prevent them from indulging in computer games and networks.

In 2000, Huazhong University of Science and Technology stipulated that all freshmen, including computer majors, were not allowed to buy computers, and the school wrote the restrictions on freshmen's use of computers into the student handbook. The person in charge of the Education Management Department said that this is because freshmen have just entered the university from high school, and they have weak self-control and are easy to indulge in the Internet.

Wang Xuemei, director of the Student Affairs Office of Wuhan Institute of Technology, said that in 2002, the school issued regulations that freshmen were not allowed to buy computers, and sophomores had to pass Grade 4 to buy computers.
