            How can schools help new students with their problems?

Students always face problems when they move to a new school. It might take
a long time for them to get familiar with the new neighborhood and the new
environment. And it is undoubtedly the responsibility of the schools to help
them out.

The most urgent task is to settle the newcomers down and make them
acquainted with the neighborhood. In some public schools, the school-owned
apartment is far from adequate, therefore the schools may do something to help
the students find apartments, as well as provide them with temporary
accommodations.

 There is also little time for students to learn where the
laundry, the post office, the supermarket, etc., are. Thus, it is helpful and
convenient of the school to provide information as above for the new students.
Students do study. So it is also important for new students to be familiar with
the academic stuffs of the new school. I believe it is the academic departments'
responsibility to provider the students with such information. Introductory
seminars help students be aware of how do the faculties to in their research
work such that they can choose their research field and advisory rationally.


What is more, it is also necessary for the newcomers to be fully involved with
the traditions of the new school. It is well known than different schools have
different traditions, and these traditions should be a precious experience of the
students. Then it is always reasonable that the schools provider some
opportunities, for instance, holding lectures.


To sum up, the schools may take various measures to help the new students
become acquainted with their new neighborhood, and to give the new students
adequate information about the school, for example, academic information and
traditions. These make the students familiar with the new schools as soon as
possible.
