FIRST STEPS, OR PSYCHOLOGIST’S ADVICE ON ADAPTING TO UNIVERSITY

Successful adjustment to university life is the foundation for engagement, effective studying and personal growth. This process can be both exciting and challenging. Psychologists of Amanzholov University emphasize that the key aspect of adaptation is social integration of students. Joining clubs, creative groups or sports teams will not only help make new friends, but also broaden your horizons. It is necessary to get acquainted with university resources, such as the library, laboratories, the center of practical psychology and academic counseling.

In addition, experts recommend taking an interest in your classmates and trying to memorize their names faster.

-Studying in university is a time for self-development and discovering talents. Look for something that will be to your liking and will bring positive emotions. Talk about your abilities and hobbies, maybe there are students in the group who are also interested in these things. Remember that you are not the only one in a new environment – all your classmates are too! This is what unites you,” concluded university psychologist Aiym Kenzhebaeva.

It should be noted that any adaptation takes time. Patience and openness to new experiences will be the key to your successful start of your student journey.
