More and more students choose to study in New Zealand. What should they pay attention to when studying in a strange environment?

Nowadays, more and more students choose to study in New Zealand, but they face unfamiliar environment. It is inevitable that there will be concerns. So what should I pay attention to when studying in New Zealand? Students must be prepared to study abroad, make choices according to their actual situation, don't blindly follow the trend, choose appropriate accommodation methods, understand the local environment and culture, do as the Romans do, participate in some on-campus acquisitions, and seize the opportunity to exercise themselves. Details are as follows.

Learning mentality

Before studying in New Zealand, students should ask themselves whether they are really ready to study abroad and why they want to study abroad, so that students can actually analyze and think about whether they have the conditions and necessity to study abroad, instead of blindly following the trend or holding a comparison mentality.

Students should know the local environment and culture in advance before applying for studying in New Zealand, so as to do as the Romans do as soon as possible. Most students in China are shy, while students in the West are just the opposite. Therefore, foreign students should break their habits and become more extroverted, which is not only conducive to integrating into the class, but also conducive to seeking help from the school's student consultants.

Adaptive mode

From the point of view of safety, the safety factors are ranked from high to low, including dormitories in the school, foreign families around the school, rented apartments near the school, and finally foreign families or apartments farther away. If you live off campus, you must choose a community with good security, not remote, close to the school, good landlord, non-staff and immigrants.

If international students live in a host family in New Zealand, they should do as the Romans do, respect others' privacy and schedule, and don't expect too much from their family conditions. Appropriate help and active participation are the manifestations of integration into the family. Residents should not have the idea of "you work and I pay", and take part in some housework appropriately, such as setting the table before meals, cleaning the table after meals, washing dishes, helping to clean the house and so on.

campus activities

To study in New Zealand, you should try to seize the opportunity to exercise yourself. Take part in some school activities, such as speech contest, so that you can learn and notice a lot of things you didn't know before when preparing for these activities. Taking part in more activities will not only increase your self-confidence and make better like-minded friends, but also make your study abroad life more colorful.

School resources

New Zealand universities are rich in resources, and international students should make full use of these free resources. Because some things may be hard to find after leaving here, such as some books hidden in the library. Students should communicate more with excellent tutors, which can not only maintain a good relationship between teachers and students, but also help their studies greatly.

Learn to be alone

I believe that many students studying abroad will be accompanied by loneliness for some time. It is very important to learn a person at this time, and I believe I can get through this stage. Or you can focus on your studies or make some good friends to change this state.
