A topic that I try to use at least once a term is for my freshman students to compare their high school life to their life at college/university. About 70% or so enjoy university life more which surprised me because I thought that with all the work and time spent in high school more than just about 70% would be much happier in college/university.
The reasons ranged from missing their hometown, friends and the sense of working in a close knit group to achieve their goals.
I don't do this exercise at the beginning of their first term because everything is still new to them. I'll either wait for the second term or do it near the end of their first term. |
