A series of pre-trip guidance activities not only provide students with necessary information and help, but also convey the care and blessing of Haide College for every student, so that students feel that leaving the school is not centrifugal, not separated by the sea.

Just over a month after arriving in Adelaide, I was surprisingly not unfamiliar and out of place. The campus is located in a quiet city, full of cultural atmosphere and international atmosphere. I met students from all over the world, expanded my horizons, and gained more understanding of different cultures. I met some professors I had met online before, and it was exciting to meet face-to-face. In addition, watching the Women's World Cup live also added color to my July and study abroad trip. The fighting spirit of the women's football team members and the chorus of the fans on the scene gave me a lot of courage to study and live in a foreign country.

The pace of learning in University of Cambridge is not very intense, and there is no requirement for lecture attendance. However, due to the large amount of homework and concentrated time, I need to consult a lot of literature and complete it by myself. Workshops are all group tasks, which greatly improve my ability of quick literature browsing and summary and independent learning. It also promotes discussion and communication with other students. Life in Adelaide is less stressful and culturally inclusive, and there will be enough personal time to meet more new friends and ease the tension and loneliness of newcomers.

After entering the University of Adelaide to study, my biggest feeling is that my personal time management ability has greatly improved. Although the autonomy of life and learning is stronger, the things that need to be done every day are many and complex. We need to plan our study, life and entertainment well. Although there are only four courses in a semester, each course requires a lot of time to study and complete the report. In addition, shopping and cooking has become an important part of life. Nevertheless, such a full life is happy, because both school and life are rich and colorful. I always end the day with a sense of accomplishment.

In the future, the College will continue to strengthen its concern for overseas students, guide them to constantly expand their international vision, set an example in strengthening cultural self-confidence and telling Chinese stories well, and inspire youth with a striving attitude, living up to The Times and living up to the Chinese years.
