im curious about life ~ students?
I'm just curious about life in the U.S. students or Europe, Australia, New Zealand .. and so … I do mean that non-Western Asia. and … tell students what they are teenagers. What do you do after school? and do not have a party? and touch musical instruments? they are usually in a group such as band or athletics? exercise regularly? or have a lot of physical education? how much time passed for study in a day? humm … parents always nag to study? and I know English does not sound good, bad, strange in that letter! Korean girl im =), this question may sounds funny and silly! Right?
G'day, First of all … your question is not funny or silly at all. You are trying to compare different living and studying available in different countries and see whether you are interested in studying there:) I used to be an international student in Australia since Southeast Asia, studied Bachelor of Business (sometimes called trade) course. B'cos rating of my country is not high school are deemed equivalent Austrlaian the high school, I had to do a year of foundation studies, a sort of "uni" prep course to prepare for study at the college level. However, even after taking a year the Foundation for Studies on Australia (which is how the Australian system of secondary education), all of us (me and my fellow graduate studies foundation) still has the shock when we arrived at our first week of freshman year in college. Before putting the unit, students international will have to attend an orientation and a week of enrollment. This event is designed especially for international students newly arrived to feel welcome. The students then enrolled in the classes of its course, then the assistance to make the calendar of conferences and tutorials. Once done, students will be taken for visits to campus to give them information ABT how to access services and assistance available to international students. This will include visit to the library where the librarian will tell you how to research information from books or information from online databases. There are also some assistance either in the library or student services section to help others to write documents / tasks. In some unis, these activities are carried out by high international students for all data are relevant for the novice as well as they also experienced the same thing when I came to college for the first time. The first week of study is usually called a week of orientation. No formal education. Only enter the coordinator of the course staff and handing out leaflets with themes Conference to cover every week, what tasks to do before the tutorial, what book to read and assignments to buy and when due. Conferences performed mostly in a large lecture theater, where all students (can be anywhere from 50-100 students) who study the subject meet to hear the explanation that teachers say abt the theme of the week. It is highly recommended that you at least read the subject before coming to lecture to avoid sleeping in class, having no ideas what was happening;) This is when some int. students have difficulties. Since I was not even a second language English in my home country, so to listen teacher conferences and we have to listen at the same time, read what I wrote and write is a great challenge. The second week is when you start the tutorials. All Students are divided into smaller tutorial classes and this is when you ask anything you dun understand during the conference, the allocation problems ABT and homework. On average, a typical class is uni ABT 4-6hrs a day. The rest is research, homework, group discussions or go home. The system will also encourage to explore, discover and try things yourself. If after doing things yourself, you stuck … then you can come to tutors and teachers and ask directly. In most cases, will put a note on when to go and see them for a one to one consultation (free of charge … LOL). Some subjects even give extra points for classroom activities for tutorial too. Yes … there will be time to adjust and there is no way you can prepare up to the first week of college. In my first month at uni, I used to complain that I need 26hrs a day … not 24! However after a while, shall conform to the new system in its first year fellow students (including Australians). As an international student, this means that most of the time in which we live, whether in homes or rented a uni floor (or apartments). If you live in the dorms, just take care of your own room. However, if you rent a flat or share it with your colleagues floor, you are responsible for everything in place, such as cooking, cleaning, paying bills, etc. So sometimes a little boring, but there are plenty of fun times, and usually during the weekend. We have parents who did not scold us to study all the time, so it is essential to self-discipline to get their assignments and tasks for home made:) Hope this helps. I hope to share my experience with you.
