For many people, entering a university is a life turning point. There will be a lot of changes in everyone's thinking and life. Let's take a look at the changes 2k3 need to keep in mind when becoming freshmen.
1. Method of university study:
The way of studying at the university level is completely different from high school. Self-study and research are significance, so K17 students, be self-disciplined in learning, proactive in searching for materials to achieve the best academic results!
The volume of knowledge at university increased by a significant and very diverse amount. For example, it takes only 2 or 3 months to finish a subject at university, while it took highschool students one year to finish. As a result, such intensive knowledge easily shocks new students. Due to load and variety of knowledge, the intensity of learning is higher, and lectures are communicated faster. In addition, students also need to learn the subject in advance, search for materials before studying to help them absorb, remember and understand more easily. Our library is very "cool", rich in documents, textbooks with standard sophisticated view. 2k3, please check-in.
At university, you will be free in terms of time. Uniforms may also be a little more comfortable. To know more about what a new student needs to prepare, without initial surprises, every year, IUH organizes "Induction Week" and broadcasts "Student Handbook" to "rookies". This is the place to answer all questions about learning and regulations and procedures at the university exclusively for new students.
2. Eating:
The taste of different regions is one of the factors that make it difficult for you to live away from home for the first time. Over time, you will get used to it, but you should practice cooking simple dishes which assure both hygiene and your taste.
The special feature of IUH is a super dining area in the canteen as well as the snack bars right on the legendary Nguyen Van Bao Street. You can invite your friends to explore this special dining paradise.
3. Accommodation:
The firsttime children go to school away from home, parents are worried, the pressure is great about their child's accommodation. The IUH dormitory is located on campus, consisting of 2 high-rise buildings, including building I (13 floors) and building G (9 floors), with 241 rooms to accommodate more than 3,500 students. 100% of rooms are equipped with washing machines, personal lockers, closed WC and private internet system. Right on the ground floor of the dorm is a canteen and convenience store.
In addition, Industrial University of Ho Chi Minh City also supports hostels searching for students. The suggested hostels have been carefully selected and ensured security as well as meeting the necessary conditions of basic living needs of students.
Especially when living in a group, what you feel uncomfortable with, don't do it to others. Respect everyone's own space and refrain from disturbing your roommates, remember to keep the volume down when listening to music or watching a movie. The best choice is to put on your headphones.
Sharing hostels and dormitories will give you a great, enjoyable experience during your student years. This will be an unforgettable memory in each person after growing up and going to work.
4. Travel-commute:
For new students who are just starting out of their student life away from home, there are many difficulties in commuting. To avoid getting lost, you should prepare yourself a smartphone with navigation and googlemap settings. Or you can set up the BUSMAP app to learn about your route and stops. Bus routes to IUH are 07, 146, 148, 18, 24.
5. Part-time jobs:
To support your family or simply earn more money after you get used to your new life, you can apply for an extra job after school. But you need to pay attention to find out clearly, thoroughly and ask for more people's opinions, avoid encountering fraudulent multi-level forms.
If someone texts you, "Hi, I am,... I'm working on a project, do you want to participate in the workshop,..?" 99% of this is a scam. Or facing someone who is dressed as a successful businessman who invites you to join the company, with the future fantasy of not doing anything to earn a few hundred million, you should stay away from them.
Part-time jobs help students earn more income and gain more experience but you need to be wise to choose the right job. "Rookies" can contact Student Counseling and Support Center to find prestigious jobs that are completely free.
6. Join IUH club/team/group
In order for the student's time to pass without tastelessness, new students should choose their favorite club to participate in to gain more experiences and listen to useful advice from senior students.
IUH has a club, team, group that can allow you to freely choose according to your interests and talents such as Music Club, IUH Assault Performance Team, Vovinam Club, Startup Club, Pioneer Team, Skills Club, English Club,.... Joining clubs, teams, groups helps us confidently communicate, integrate into the team and make new friends, it is also interesting, right?
7. Learn how to manage your budget
When you think of students, you think of "noodles." Unreasonable spending causes you to fall into a state of "being broke at the end of the month". Be careful in spending, and keep a clear record of your expenses to ensure your finance when living away from home.
And finally, wish K17 students overcome the first memorable, challenging year of college. There will be a new and interesting journey on the colorful youth train.
