How to better adapt to college life
1. Adapt to the new living environment

University life is a collective life and an independent life, so we should establish a correct outlook on life.

First of all, be independent ideologically. Don't think about the help of parents or others, tell yourself clearly that you should learn to be independent and do your own thing.

Secondly, fully familiar with the campus environment, accept this environment, and take a big step on the road of adaptation. In some university campus forums, freshmen report columns will be set up to answer questions for freshmen.

Shortly after the start of freshman year, various societies began to set up stalls to recruit new students. There are many kinds of clubs in universities, but club activities will have certain requirements for your personal time, physical fitness and economic situation. You must not blindly choose to participate.

The work of the student union sometimes has a great influence on learning. For example, if a student wants to do something, you will have to be absent from class.

In addition, there are many parties and friendships in freshman year, which are generally clubs and fellow villagers' associations. These activities can help you better understand college life, help you adapt and expand your circle of friends.

2. Adapt to the new learning environment

Learning in universities and middle schools is very different.

University courses are conducted according to the curriculum schedule. Although compulsory courses are the same as professional students, because elective courses are different, each student has his own schedule.

Change one: more content.

The university has to study more than 40 courses in four years. The courses to be studied in each semester are basically different, with a lot of content, and the learning task is much heavier than that in a middle school.

Change 2: The teacher cares less.

This university advocates autonomous learning. The teachers in the class come from different departments of the school. Teachers and students have little contact time. They only meet in class, and some classes last only a few weeks. A lot of extra-curricular time should be arranged by yourself.

Change 3: the lecture speed is fast.

First, university teachers introduce many ideas and explain few details. Mainly teaching key and difficult content, many teachers use multimedia to teach, so the teaching progress is relatively fast. A class may have to talk about one chapter or several chapters, and the students who attend the class don't even have time to turn over the books. Second, there are more abstract theories and less intuitive content. Third, there are more discussions in class and fewer answers after class. Fourth, there are more reference books and less extracurricular exercises.

Change 4: The classroom and classmates are not fixed.

In universities, each class has no fixed classroom. Sometimes 1 and 2 classes may be in one classroom in this building, but classes 3 and 4 may go to another building. You have to find a classroom to study by yourself.

Change learning method

The "herding sheep" learning style in universities may make many freshmen unable to adapt for a while. In fact, from now on, they should take care of themselves.

① Self-study.

The role of university teachers is "guide", self-study is the main feature of university learning, and what college students learn in class is "the essence of knowledge". Not only should we digest and absorb the knowledge learned in class, but the whole knowledge system also needs to be supplemented and improved by ourselves.

② Make a study plan.

Make a study plan, with monthly or weekly units (easy to implement), and list the specific subjects and planned study contents.

3. Adapt to the new interpersonal environment

Many college students expect to communicate with classmates with good interpersonal relationships, but college students come from all over the country and have great differences in language, personality and living environment, so many students gradually lose patience and tolerance in the process of communication.

4 adjust your mentality.

College classmates, with the same major, are likely to become peers. They will establish a good relationship in college and help each other after graduation.

4. Adapt to the new psychological adjustment environment

Most colleges and universities have psychological counseling rooms or other specialized institutions, and many schools have also set up psychological sections on their campus websites to actively carry out counseling activities.
