After passing the university entrance exam, what should new students prepare for the new environment?

1. Diversity

One of the most important things to prepare yourself for before college is diversity . Whether you study at a famous international university or a community college in a small town, you can expect a lot of diversity. A college campus is a gathering of thousands of college students from different states and countries every year. Be prepared to be friendly and open to people from all races, religions, and cultures.

2. Financial pressure

Financial pressures become very real when you start college. You’ll likely be faced with debt, housing, living expenses, transportation, and partying that will give you a headache. That’s why it’s important to budget your money well before you start college, and to have a savings account in place while you’re still in high school, which will also allow you to learn how to save and manage your own money .

3. Be friends with everyone

Studying at university will give you the opportunity to meet many new friends, especially with credit-based universities. University is not like high school where you only meet a few hundred students in four years. Instead, you will have the opportunity to make friends, study with many new people in the classroom, in the dormitory and also in events and campaigns organized by the Youth Union. You may have to prepare more soft skills to avoid being confused and awkward when meeting new people.

4. Independence

When students think of “ independence ,” the first thing they think of is freedom . But independence and freedom are not what you think. While freedom is being able to do what you want and enjoy, independence is being responsible for your own life without relying on anyone. To prepare yourself for college, you should start learning how to cook, shop, and do laundry.

5. First job

For many students, college is the first time they earn money to spend and survive. If you are going to college, be prepared to work while still a student, balancing work and study will not be an easy task and in the end you will get a lot from these efforts. Do not rush into work, study and abuse yourself with hasty meals of bread, instant noodles and coffee.

6. Ask for help

One of the good things about college is that you can still get help from many people. You may not feel like you should, but if you have a problem, ask for help and advice from your loved ones and professors.

Many people consider college to be the happiest and most enjoyable time of their lives. Be social, have fun and enjoy your youth, but be smart, be safe and be careful!

8. Prepare your foreign language skills well

In any environment, if you can communicate in English or know how to read English documents , this will be a huge advantage in helping you stand out from the crowd, helping you be more proactive in your studies as well as job opportunities will come to you right from when you are still in school. If you are still not confident about your English knowledge , you can refer to English courses for people with no basic knowledge, basic English communication for beginners to learn English or go here to refer to free English learning materials .

Being well prepared with skills will help students easily integrate into the new environment and confidently seize opportunities right from their university days.
In just a short time, we will become students, so prepare everything well so as not to be "shocked" and fully enjoy the beautiful and meaningful student life!
