在大學(xué)校園尋找舒適區(qū)的方法
離開了一個熟悉的環(huán)境，就相當(dāng)于離開了自己原本的舒適區(qū)，對于留學(xué)生來說，怎樣在一個新的大學(xué)校園找到自己的舒適區(qū)呢?本文收錄了一些有經(jīng)驗的國際學(xué)生的想法和建議，希望對大家有用，一起來看看吧!
The transition from high school to college can be difficult – a new place, a new school, a different model of education with different demands. For prospective international students who are similarly stepping outside of their comfort zone , Al-Helou and others have some tips for a smooth transition.
從高中到大學(xué)的過渡可能是艱難的，因為你會到一個新的地方、新的學(xué)校，并接受不同模式的教育模式。對于即將踏出自己舒適區(qū)的國際學(xué)生，以下是一些早已踏入外國大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)的學(xué)生提出的小建議：
1. Be patient and confident
"Not only had I moved from one country to another, but I found myself in a whole new and very diverse community," Mohamed Nabil Najjar says.
He says he felt lonely at first, but got some advice from a classmate. The classmate said not to worry, that it was a normal situation and that Najjar would soon make new friends.
?"Indeed, it is what happened,"? Najjar says.
1. 要有耐心和自信心
Mohamed Nabil Najjar說：“我不僅是在一個不同的國家學(xué)習(xí)，而且是在一個新的多樣化的環(huán)境之中。”他表示自己剛開始感到很孤獨(dú)，但從同學(xué)那兒得到了一些建議。那個同學(xué)對他說：“你不要擔(dān)心，現(xiàn)在這樣很正常，但你很快就會交到新朋友的。”“確實是這樣的，我后來交到很多好朋友”，Najjar說道。
2. Find a mentor or counselor
AUC requires all students to participate in its first-year experience program. Evans says this four-day orientation program helps freshmen adjust to university life by providing them with mentors and peer leaders. Anthony Gergess, dean of student affairs at the University of Balamand ?in Al Kurah, Lebanon, says mentorship programs are essential in helping students adapt to the shift in their life.
2. 尋找一個能協(xié)助自己解決問題的導(dǎo)師
AUC要求所有新生都參加第一學(xué)年的體驗活動。Evans表示這個持續(xù)4天的活動能通過給大一新生分配導(dǎo)師來幫助他們適應(yīng)校園生活。Balamand 大學(xué)的教務(wù)長Anthony Gergess表示，導(dǎo)師項目在幫助學(xué)生適應(yīng)新生活的過程中起著至關(guān)重要的作用。
3. Get involved on campus:
Adjusting to new social circles can be easier if students join a club or organization that allows them to connect over a larger purpose with broad groups of people. Gergess ?says that the best educational and personal experiences happen when students take an interest in the world around them. He recalls a student from Brazil of Lebanese descent who came to campus reluctantly and asked frequently about returning home – until she found her place. "She founded the Nutri Club with her friends and their first activity was about Brazilian food," says Gergess. "She is still at the university loving life in Lebanon and mainly her ancestors’ town, Tripoli. She always helps international students by sharing her personal experience with them." Being involved in the larger community, says Najjar, is a great way for students "to better understand themselves" and their new place in the world.
3. 融入校園生活
加入俱樂部或社團(tuán)能讓國際學(xué)生更容易適應(yīng)新的社會生活。Gergess說留學(xué)效果最好的人就是哪些對周圍世界感興趣的人。他想起有一個原本不想來留學(xué)并且總是吵著要回去的巴西學(xué)生最終找準(zhǔn)了自己的位置。她和朋友建立了Nutri俱樂部，該俱樂部的首次活動主題是“巴西美食”?，F(xiàn)在她也總是通過分享自己的經(jīng)歷幫助國際學(xué)生。融入校園生活能幫助學(xué)生更好理解自己，并找準(zhǔn)自己的位置。
