For Zhang Ruizhe, a freshman, Huazhong University of Science and Technology is the school where she will stay for eight years until she gets her doctorate. Zhang said that she wanted to be a doctor since she was a child. "University life is rich and colorful. High school suffocated me. University will be the place where I pursue my dreams, "she said.

Like many other families, Zhang's parents go to school with her to help. Her father said that the function and quality of the university had changed compared with what he had experienced.

"The current education methods are healthier and more mature. The school pays attention to cultivating students' manners and values, "said his father Zhang Wenbo. On New Year's Day, the campus is full of information about various activities and facilities. In order to help freshmen adapt quickly, the school has arranged special volunteers for each student, and her counselor is always ready to answer questions for students.
