Fear of freshmen

Fear​​​  across the road

Fear of crossing the street is a concern of many young people when they go to the capital to study. Frowning, squinting, grimacing… are common expressions of anyone who has to cross the street at the intersection of Nguyen Trai and Vu Trong Phung. Especially for first-year students who take the bus to school.

Help you : Hanoi streets are full of traffic, but they are divided into one-way and two-way streets. If you cannot go up to the pedestrian bridge and have to cross the street, you need to pay attention to the traffic. When crossing the street, you need to ask for the right of way and notify other traffic participants.

Expensive living​​​​

In Hanoi, everything is extremely expensive, food is expensive, electricity is expensive, water is expensive, housing is even more expensive... Starting an independent life, you will feel confused and worried when you have to balance and pay all the expenses yourself.

Advice : Anyone starting student life will encounter this situation. To avoid the situation of "meningitis", you need to consider carefully in spending, always remember that instead of buying things you like, you should only buy things you need. Every month you can bring rice from home and cook hard, learn how to save from the smallest things. In addition, you can also do extra work in your free time. But remember your main job is to study!

The nervous face of a student going to school for the first time

How to learn ?​​​

Going to university is a completely different learning environment from high school, many students cannot help but feel anxious when changing the way they study. Previously, many students had a packed schedule from morning, afternoon, and even evening. But when entering university, many students fall into a state of "relaxing" when they see too much free time. The whole day of class is 4 hours, making you mistakenly think that studying at university is too much free time.

Help you : " University is self - study " If you have ever attended a citizen activity week , you will probably see Chairman of the Board of Directors Le Dac Son mention this saying many times. Indeed, in the limited time, teachers at the University will be like guides to show you the way. Your job is to learn and look up more information about the lectures, in order to deepen the knowledge that the teachers want to convey. The remaining time at home, you can go to foreign language classes, skill classes, participate in volunteer activities, extracurricular activities or work part-time to earn money...

I 'm afraid to make new friends .

At first this may seem absurd, but it is a real feeling for many new college students.

Help you : Here are some shares about the first time in class of Thu Dung (4th year student, class QHCC 0501) to the new students of K8:

“ The feeling of entering the class without knowing anyone, I was very worried that I would not be able to integrate with my friends. Seeing my friends in the city being extremely confident , quickly making friends and getting to know each other , at that time I really felt sorry for myself and had low self- esteem . Now that I have gone through that time , I just want to advise students to put aside their worries , try to integrate with everyone and confidently express themselves . Believe that your classmates are just like me . ”

In addition to changing your thinking, you should enthusiastically participate in class and school activities, talk and make friends with people around you to quickly integrate into your new life.
