The official definition of college students is that the concept of college students can be understood from both broad and narrow perspectives. In a broad sense, college students refer to a special group in society, who have received higher education and have new social technologies and cutting-edge ideas, and also refer to a pioneer group that leads social progress. In a narrow sense, college students refer to senior professionals with college education or above and trained by the state. Let me talk about my narrow understanding of college students from my experience.

First of all, when it comes to the definition of college students, we must first understand the definition of university: there is an ancient book "History of Rites and Music": "The ancient kings took education as their main task, set up universities to teach the country, and set urgent orders to turn the city." This means that the ancient emperors ruled the country with education as their priority. Establishing universities in rural areas and schools in cities and towns for education, inducing people with benevolence, encouraging people with righteousness and restricting people with courtesy, the implementation of education has brought good customs and people's feelings. Since ancient times, schools have been places to impart knowledge and train talents, and universities have been places to train generations of professionals, so college students have also taken on more responsibilities. College students have played a great role in social progress, cultural communication, scientific and technological development and humanistic inheritance.

First, college students have strong learning ability and know how to study hard. However, college is different from junior high school. Universities need students to have strong self-control and autonomous learning ability. Basic learning in junior high schools is generally passive, while college students need to take the initiative to learn knowledge. Moreover, the contents they study are very professional, and the majors they apply for in universities should be their own, so they will be full of desire for their professional knowledge, and will not feel that learning is a boring thing, and accordingly they will be more willing to take the initiative. Moreover, after I went to college, my thinking about knowledge deepened and there were many problems. You can also discuss professional knowledge with the teacher after class. I love my chosen major very much. I think my major is full of attraction to me, so I also like to ask my teacher for advice or go to the library to find the corresponding knowledge points in my spare time.

Second, the basic qualities of college students are good. Through higher education level, the quality of college students has been basically improved, and a more complete and correct political view, world view, outlook on life, values and aesthetics have been established. When you come to the university, you will come into contact with more people and things, have a wider knowledge, and the corresponding college students' own thoughts will also change. Having good personal qualities is also helpful to the development of college students. The development and improvement of college students' quality has a very important impact on social development. The good quality of college students also includes physical quality and psychological quality, and the physical quality of college students is also improving accordingly. Nowadays, "Campus Running" is very popular in many schools. Before dinner every day, some students can be seen running and exercising on all roads in the school without affecting the normal traffic. I feel the vitality of college students every day when I see this scene. Psychological quality has also been greatly improved. For example, in interpersonal communication, college students become more mature. Every day, when they get along with roommates, classmates and teachers, they will gradually understand the way of interacting with others, learn to think of others and get along with others actively. Good interpersonal relationship and rich circle of friends are also a feature of college students. College students should have the spirit of "good health, a gentleman strives for self-improvement", and be a college student with culture, quality, morality, noble moral sentiments, rich scientific and cultural knowledge and good physical and mental quality.

Third, college students' practical ability is stronger. Nowadays, college students' courses generally include practical courses, which makes their knowledge no longer "on paper", but now they pay more attention to students' practical ability, including practical ability, practical ability and innovative ability, so that they can make better contributions to society in the future. Moreover, the content of college exams is no longer just a written exam, but a practical exam to examine practical ability and see if knowledge is really mastered.

Fourth, college students have a stronger sense of collective honor, more unity, more team spirit and dedication. Although the university is relatively free, it emphasizes the collective spirit and puts itself in the collective, so that everyone's strength will be infinite. At present, many university activities need collective participation, such as the Imagination Cup, the College Students' Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, and the Entrepreneurship Salad, all of which need to be participated in the form of teams, so that everyone's strengths can be brought into play and their functions can be enlarged. In addition, the usual quality development activities are team participation, which further enhances the unity and collective sense of honor of college students and knows more about dedication and contribution.

The above are some characteristics of contemporary college students that I learned in school, as well as my understanding and definition of college students, but I believe that contemporary college students will not only lie in these points. "A strong teenager makes a strong country." Contemporary college students represent the future of China!
