在大学校园寻找舒适区的方法
离开了一个熟悉的环境，就相当于离开了自己原本的舒适区，对于留学生来说，怎样在一个新的大学校园找到自己的舒适区呢?本文收录了一些有经验的国际学生的想法和建议，希望对大家有用，一起来看看吧!
The transition from high school to college can be difficult – a new place, a new school, a different model of education with different demands. For prospective international students who are similarly stepping outside of their comfort zone , Al-Helou and others have some tips for a smooth transition.
从高中到大学的过渡可能是艰难的，因为你会到一个新的地方、新的学校，并接受不同模式的教育模式。对于即将踏出自己舒适区的国际学生，以下是一些早已踏入外国大学学习的学生提出的小建议：
1. Be patient and confident
"Not only had I moved from one country to another, but I found myself in a whole new and very diverse community," Mohamed Nabil Najjar says.
He says he felt lonely at first, but got some advice from a classmate. The classmate said not to worry, that it was a normal situation and that Najjar would soon make new friends.
"Indeed, it is what happened," Najjar says.
1. 要有耐心和自信心
Mohamed Nabil Najjar说：“我不仅是在一个不同的国家学习，而且是在一个新的多样化的环境之中。”他表示自己刚开始感到很孤独，但从同学那儿得到了一些建议。那个同学对他说：“你不要担心，现在这样很正常，但你很快就会交到新朋友的。”“确实是这样的，我后来交到很多好朋友”，Najjar说道。
2. Find a mentor or counselor
AUC requires all students to participate in its first-year experience program. Evans says this four-day orientation program helps freshmen adjust to university life by providing them with mentors and peer leaders. Anthony Gergess, dean of student affairs at the University of Balamand in Al Kurah, Lebanon, says mentorship programs are essential in helping students adapt to the shift in their life.
2. 寻找一个能协助自己解决问题的导师
AUC要求所有新生都参加第一学年的体验活动。Evans表示这个持续4天的活动能通过给大一新生分配导师来帮助他们适应校园生活。Balamand 大学的教务长Anthony Gergess表示，导师项目在帮助学生适应新生活的过程中起着至关重要的作用。
3. Get involved on campus:
Adjusting to new social circles can be easier if students join a club or organization that allows them to connect over a larger purpose with broad groups of people. Gergess says that the best educational and personal experiences happen when students take an interest in the world around them. He recalls a student from Brazil of Lebanese descent who came to campus reluctantly and asked frequently about returning home – until she found her place. "She founded the Nutri Club with her friends and their first activity was about Brazilian food," says Gergess. "She is still at the university loving life in Lebanon and mainly her ancestors’ town, Tripoli. She always helps international students by sharing her personal experience with them." Being involved in the larger community, says Najjar, is a great way for students "to better understand themselves" and their new place in the world.
3. 融入校园生活
加入俱乐部或社团能让国际学生更容易适应新的社会生活。Gergess说留学效果最好的人就是哪些对周围世界感兴趣的人。他想起有一个原本不想来留学并且总是吵着要回去的巴西学生最终找准了自己的位置。她和朋友建立了Nutri俱乐部，该俱乐部的首次活动主题是“巴西美食”。现在她也总是通过分享自己的经历帮助国际学生。融入校园生活能帮助学生更好理解自己，并找准自己的位置。
