So how should freshmen adjust when they find that there is a gap between the university and their inner thoughts after entering the university?
How to adjust is mainly introduced from eight aspects.
Let's make a concrete analysis from specific aspects:
First, professional ranking
When choosing a major, whether parents or teachers, including yourself, the most important thing must be the ranking and popularity of this major in the country or local. In the case that we don't know the school, the ranking of majors can most intuitively reflect the quality of majors, which also has a very important impact on our future employment. But not all aspects of the major are ranked, so when you enter the university, you may find that the ability of this major is different from what you expected. How to adjust it?

1. Self-improvement:
After entering the school, you find that your major, popularity and ability are not as high as you heard at that time, or your research level is low. Then the first thing you should do is not to be disappointed and complain, but to set an example. As a student of this major, you have the responsibility to contribute to your major. If you have a strong sense of responsibility and ability, you can choose to improve your professional popularity through your own efforts or professional research. The public's recognition of a major is nothing more than some outstanding achievements of the major and the employment rate of graduates every year. Therefore, we should rely on our own efforts to improve our professional awareness. If you really do something, not only will your professional popularity be improved, but your popularity will also be improved, which will also provide a very high guarantee for your future employment.
2. Apply for changing majors:
If you don't have the idea to change your major, you can apply to the school to change your major. After entering the school, there will be more ways to know the excellent degree of each major. You can consult your counselor and choose a better major to apply for. However, the conditions for applying for major changes are relatively high. Generally, when a university changes majors, you are required to be in the top ten in the first academic year. So if you think your major is not as good as other majors, you need to study your current major carefully first, so that you can apply for changing majors.
Second, the faculty.
The teaching staff refers to the overall comprehensive ability of teachers. Teachers are responsible for teaching and educating people at all times. Schools are mainly places to provide schools, so the teachers of schools are also very important. Competent teachers will bring great help to your study and have the opportunity to provide you with a better platform. There may be many academicians who learned about this school through hearsay or consulting materials before you entered the school, and doctoral teachers also accounted for a large proportion. But when you enter school and find that you are not as good as you heard, or most of the teachers with good professionalism have moved away or retired, how should you adjust?
Demonstration of school teachers' strength
1. Try to understand:
When you find that your teachers are not so good, you can try to get in touch with your teachers more, which will help you understand them. Since I have the ability to be a teacher in a university, I naturally have my own advantages. The school won't randomly arrange a teacher to teach a course they don't understand. So when you get to know them, you will find their advantages and their teaching ability, so you will naturally look at them with new eyes and learn their ability. In fact, no matter whether your teachers are as experienced as you expected, you should respect them and listen with a grateful heart.
2. Find a favorite teacher:
The university is different from our previous study period. In the past, you studied those limited subjects once every three years, and the teachers were naturally those. But college is different. There are many courses and teachers in the university. So you can choose a teacher you like. Because you like it, you will find the bright spot in him more easily and follow in his footsteps, which is the same concept as "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". As long as you love it, you will naturally pay attention to it. So find a teacher you like and set him as your role model at this stage. When you feel that you have nothing to learn from him, you can change your goal and look for the next role model. As long as you follow the example step by step, you will grow up very quickly.
Third, the overall environment of the school.
Every student must have fantasized about walking on the small stone road on campus with friends and sweating like rain on the basketball court or sports ground. Especially when studying in college is relatively easy, I fantasize about how to go to college early and have fun with my good friends. For a school, the appearance construction of the campus is the facade of the school, which is equivalent to what each of us calls "face", so the appearance construction is the core construction of a school. When you find that your university facilities are behind other schools, how should you adjust them?
Display of different school environments
1. Looking for off-campus sports and entertainment venues:
If your school can't provide you with satisfactory sports or entertainment places, you can go to the local area with your friends to find your favorite sports and entertainment places if conditions permit. In college, you are relatively free to go wherever you want. Don't confine yourself to the campus for four years, get to know the city where you will live for four years.
If you find one or two places you like, you can apply for a long-term interest and a relative discount.
2. Travel to surrounding cities:
The university doesn't have classes every day, and the course arrangement is relatively easy, so sometimes you may have no course arrangement for three or four days, or there is nothing important on Saturday and Sunday. So you can save some pocket money, so that you can occasionally take short trips to the cities around the school to relax and broaden your horizons. Of course, if you have enough time and money, you can go to further cities. You will never know what the world is like until you go out for a walk. I believe that the scenery on the journey will definitely bring you a lot of feelings.
Fourth, the classroom environment
In every school, the classroom environment is very important, because it directly affects our learning quality, so the classroom design of every university is particularly important. At the same time, the classroom is also one of the places where we stay for a long time in university life, because the university also focuses on classes. You may imagine that every classroom is a stepped classroom, with neat tables and chairs, clean and scratch-free walls, four movable blackboards and high-end electronic equipment support. But the result may be just the opposite. It is difficult for ordinary universities to make every classroom clean and advanced, and the class environment will certainly be unsatisfactory. When the classroom environment is not satisfied, how to adjust?
Display of different teacher environments
1. Get rid of fantasy in time:
First of all, we should change our expectations of the classroom environment in cognition, which is the root of solving the problem. In the university stage, most people have reached the age of 18 and entered the school. Now that we are all adults, we should understand that fantasy is not reality. Therefore, once you find that the psychological gap with yourself is too big, you must lose your fantasy and face the reality in time.
2. Adjust the mentality:
Because of the previous fantasy, when there is a gap between reality, it will inevitably lead to disappointment and weariness of learning. At this time, you need to mobilize your self-regulation ability and try to adjust your mentality. You can try to digest it yourself; If you can't adjust yourself, you can tell your parents about this situation, and your parents will definitely help you to the greatest extent and share it with you.
3. Try to accept:
Anyway, since you are in this school, you should accept it as much as possible, because you will spend your four years here, and you can't stick to this problem all the time. It should be understood that not every school has the funds to rebuild the classroom construction, and every school has its own difficulties. So try to accept this situation, you can visit the classrooms of the school by yourself or with your roommates, try to feel the environment of each classroom and find its advantages.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) dormitory environment
The dormitory in the university is not only a place to sleep, but also our second home. Especially when you are about to leave your parents' control, you will naturally imagine what your living environment is like and how to decorate your nest. When you don't enter the university, you may automatically bring the dormitory environment into your own university dormitory environment because of the influence of some TV dramas and movies. What should you do when the dormitory environment is different from your imagination?
Display of different dormitory styles
1. Design favorite style:
With the permission of the school and your own funds, you can transform your small space according to your favorite style. If you don't have a favorite style, you can buy related books online or choose your favorite style and buy the same or similar materials for rectification. No matter how bad the dormitory environment is, as long as you transform it into what you like, you will naturally fall in love with the dormitory. Of course, some things will be lost, and you will definitely spend some money. At the same time, many things may not be taken away when the senior leaves school, so it is necessary to restore the dormitory to its original state and give the junior a dormitory that can be rebuilt.
2. Get along well with roommates:
But some schools are not allowed to rebuild dormitories. In this case, you can only try to accept this environment. At this time, we must get along well with our roommates to avoid poor dormitory environment and depressed atmosphere. And between good friends, no matter where, there are endless topics and endless fun. Besides, you will live together for four years. If the relationship is not harmonious, it will be difficult for you to stay in the dormitory, and the depressed atmosphere will have a serious impact on your mood.
3. Apply to the school for replacement:
If there is a problem with the dormitory facilities, you can apply to the relevant school personnel for maintenance, and you can talk to the dormitory management personnel to understand the process of applying for maintenance; In addition, if the dormitory is too hot in summer or too cold in winter, so that people can't work and rest normally in the dormitory, they can apply to the school for changing the dormitory. Changing dormitories is generally applied to the college. You can contact the class teacher or counselor to find out. Don't be afraid that the application won't pass. As long as there are sufficient reasons, the school will not turn a blind eye.
4. Apply for a day school to live at home or rent a house:
If the above methods still can't solve your dissatisfaction with the dormitory environment, then you can apply to the school for day study. If you are a local student, you can live at home during the day; If you are not a local student, you can find suitable housing for rent around the school or in the family building of the school to avoid the distance between classes. However, it should be noted that you must choose carefully, don't be cheated, and protect your rights and interests legally. A good living environment contributes to your physical and mental health. Nothing is more important than health. If you feel that the cost of capital is too high and the pressure is too great, you can find the right person to share the rent. Of course, it's best to find someone who knows everything. After all, we have to live under the same roof for a period of time, so people who share the rent need to investigate.
Six, canteen meals.
Whether you are a foodie or not, you must have imagined what the food in the university cafeteria is like. I also hope that the food in the canteen can be relatively delicious. After all, three delicious meals a day will make people feel happy all day. Have you ever fantasized about the university cafeteria, where there are so many kinds of food that people are full of praise? However, on the first day of school, I went to the canteen to experience, and my eyes dropped sharply. What should you do at this time?
Show it in different canteens
1. Find the food that suits your taste:
Because there are so many students in the university, the canteen will be designed to be very large and there are so many kinds of food. With such a big canteen, you are sure to find food that suits your taste. Try more different windows, eat more meals in the canteen, and slowly you will always find something you like to eat. At this time, the best way is to observe which window in the canteen is crowded during the peak period. The more people in line, the more delicious it is. Or you can ask your friends to recommend a window that they think is delicious and try to see if it is not to your taste.
2. Reflect to the canteen management personnel:
If there is a problem with the quality of the food, you can reflect this situation to the school canteen management. As long as you have conclusive evidence and no false report, the canteen will definitely take corresponding measures to make them rectify. Or the taste is seriously wrong, and the taste is very delicious. You can reflect to the chef who cooks and provide your own suggestions. Generally, they will take it, because delicious food will attract students to eat. For higher turnover, they will definitely check it. If the situation is true, they will naturally adopt your opinion.
3. Off-campus purchase:
No matter how many kinds of food there are in the school cafeteria, you can't eat it for four years, not to mention it's not delicious, and you don't want to eat it at school. So you can buy it outside the school, which is commonly known as "takeaway", and you can make an appointment for takeaway before class. Off-campus dining is relatively more colorful and tastes better than school canteens. With the way of take-away, there are more foods for us to choose from. So you can occasionally buy food outside school for a change. However, the school's catering safety is relatively higher, so from the perspective of safety, it is only recommended to buy it occasionally outside the school.
4. Go to the restaurant near the school:
If you really don't want to eat in the canteen and are worried about the safety of takeaway, you can go to the restaurant near the school by yourself. There will be many restaurants and some famous snack streets around the school. In less than four years of college, you can eat all the restaurants around the school and naturally find what you like. But the cost of eating is definitely more than what you spend in the canteen. After all, the rent of shops near the school is high, and people who go to eat are definitely not as many as those who go to the school cafeteria. If you have enough pocket money, enjoy it.
Seven, study.
Have you ever heard parents or high school class teachers say that you don't have to study after you get into college in the third year of high school? You are full of joy and looking forward to going to college soon, thinking that going to college is not only fun, but also fun. But on the contrary, the university is still a stage that we need to learn. When you get to college, you find that you still have endless courses. How should you adapt to this situation?
The study schedule is for reference only.
1. Reject chaotic learning:
When you go to college, you will find that you not only have to study, but also feel confused. Many freshmen often report that they don't know what they are studying and doing after a semester, and they always feel that time has passed inexplicably. So we should try our best to avoid blind learning. You can make your own plan. College is different from before, unlike high school teachers who take you to study. At this time, you must make your own plans. You can first make a short-term plan to achieve your immediate goals, that is, a list of plans for this semester; After that, you can consider it as appropriate and make a long-term plan list, which can be a list of each academic year. For example, you have to finish CET-4 in your junior year and have a professional certificate. For example, do you choose postgraduate entrance examination or junior exam? Or choose direct employment. Make a plan, define the goal, and complete it step by step.
2. Facing the phenomenon of "involution":
Involution can be understood as competition among peers, which is a common phenomenon in universities at present. There is a strong learning competition between roommates or classmates, and everyone is studying crazily and trying to do their best. So in the face of this learning phenomenon, first of all, don't feel anxious. What you may see on the surface is that everyone is studying hard, but in fact the efficiency is not high. Imagine that the human brain is not a machine, and a person's memory in one day is limited. Secondly, don't follow the trend and study according to your own plan. Don't join everyone just because they are studying. You should follow your own plan, and the combination of work and rest is the most important thing. Finally, like this phenomenon, this environment will make you have certain competitive pressure and promote your rapid progress, so you should be grateful for this environment.
Eight, the exam.
Before you go to college, do you feel that the high school exams are particularly painful? I hope you can go to college quickly and get rid of so many exams. But when you get to college, in the first semester, you will find that exams are one of the most painful things for college students. Does it have nothing to do with you failing the junior and senior high school exams? But college is not. If you fail in the college exam, you may face make-up exams and retakes. So how should we adapt to the heavy exam?
1. Cumulative learning:
The exam is actually just a summary of your study this semester, so whether you pass the exam directly represents whether you take this subject seriously this semester. Learning is a cumulative process. Usually, you should study hard, listen carefully, take notes in class, and have enough knowledge to face the exam so as not to panic.
2. Use network resources:
No one in the university restricts you from using electronic products, so if you don't keep up with the teacher's progress in class, or forget some knowledge points in exam review, you can make good use of your own network resources and find the corresponding course videos to study. Many classes in the university will be specially explained by teachers on the internet, so you can consolidate your forgotten knowledge at any time.
3. Review carefully during the exam week:
Even if you don't work hard at ordinary times, no matter how hard you try, you should make 200% efforts to review the exam knowledge points at the end of each semester. Because in college, once you fail the final exam, you have to make up the exam or retake it. The pain at that time was unimaginable. Don't regret that you didn't work hard, because it is too late to say anything.
What should you do if you are still dissatisfied with your university after trying to adjust and still can't adapt to the present university life? Let's have a look. How to deal with this situation?
After the adjustment fails, two ways are given.
First, repeat, re-apply.
Maybe you didn't play well in the college entrance examination and chose a school that is far from expectations; Still really can't adapt to this school. You can tell your family about this situation as soon as possible after entering school and discuss with them whether you can repeat it. If you have such an idea, you must act as soon as possible. The sooner you decide on the relevant procedures, the easier it will be. If you really don't like this kind of college life, you can measure whether you have suffered in this environment for four years or choose to go back to the third year of high school and try to choose your own university for one year.
Second, the postgraduate entrance examination changes the status quo
If I can't repeat my studies or feel that I can still stay in this school, I look forward to a beautiful college life. Then you can choose to study hard and prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination in your junior year. Although the postgraduate entrance examination is relatively difficult, why not give it a try for your own youth? In this way, you will have another chance to choose a school, and you can choose your own school to take the exam. So if you want to change, do it.
Of course, everything follows a causal cycle. The reason why you will enter a university far from your imagination must be because your grades are not ideal or your planning is not in place. It is irresponsible to apply for a university at will, so how should we avoid entering a university that we don't like?
How to avoid entering a university you don't like?
First, the choice within and outside the province.
The gap between universities in and outside the province is actually very large, which also has a great impact on future employment. Like double first-class universities, almost all of them are scattered in various provinces, so we should try our best to choose schools for the future. If there is no good school worth developing where you live. I hope you don't give up a better future because you depend on your parents or don't want to be too far away from home. But if your grades are not enough, staying in the province is a good choice. Therefore, we must carefully consider the choice of schools inside and outside the province.
Second, set goals and work hard for them.
Research shows that most successful people set their own goals in advance and then make every effort to get close to them. So you must have the place you want to go, the school you want to study and the major that suits you in high school. Check the annual admission score of this school in advance, and work hard for it in high school for three years, so that your score in each exam can reach the admission line of this school. This way, there will be no big deviation in the college entrance examination.
In addition, if you really don't have a favorite major, you can do a Holland career interest test, which will locate your hobbies according to your subconscious and help you choose a career that suits you. You can refer to this profession and choose the professional direction of the university.
Third, all-round understanding
After the results of the college entrance examination come out, there is still a long time to enter the exam, so you have enough time to fully understand a school. You can check all aspects of this school online (the direction here can be understood according to the eight aspects of the initial gap), or if your family has the conditions to support it, you can go to this school in person. If you find that this school is far from your expectations, you should change your goals in time, and then make an all-round understanding until you find a satisfactory university.
Summary:
The above contents are introduced in three parts:
The introduction is divided into three parts.
In fact, every university is not much different. It's just not what you think The quality of a thing cannot be judged by your own subjective consciousness, so it doesn't mean that this school is not good. In fact, the most important thing to enter a university is to study, so no matter what the situation, you should study hard and enrich your cultural knowledge; Live seriously and ensure that you are in a good mood every day; Strive to be a better self, in order to get rid of the environment that you don't like now.
Although relevant research shows that the environment will contribute as much as 25% to the progress of students' courses in one academic year, I think that even in the best environment, if you don't make progress, don't make progress and complain about others, it won't help you. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Gou Jian, the King of Yue, tried his best to dominate the princes. In the Tang Dynasty, Liu Yuxi could tune the piano and read Jin Dian in a humble room. Kuang Heng in the Western Han Dynasty insisted on reading, while Song Lian, a writer in the Ming Dynasty, was extremely cold, and Yan Bingjian still studied for advice. Therefore, I believe that the environment can't decide you and can't change you. As long as you have clear goals and beliefs, gold will always shine wherever you are!
