The Biggest Challenge of the University Life

This paper is commissioned to study the biggest challenge of the university life. As we all know, university life is a most worthwhile period in a young persons’ life. Students are faced with a lot of opportunities and challenges during this time.

In university, a student begins to form his or her ideas about life in general. Attending classes and studying in library provide them with access to valuable information, adding to their knowledge base. Campus life can also be rich and colorful. Most universities offer a variety of extracurricular activities such as sports events, contests, and other social gatherings. So a student can not only develop his intellectual abilities, he also develops social skills and lifelong friendships through the varied experiences of university life.

However, when they really participate in these activities, they will also encounter all kinds of setbacks and challenges, such as not adapting to the environment, lack of skills and confidences. These challenges may have an important influence on persons’ life and mental, even the values. So in order to know what the biggest challenge is and how to deal with them for college students, T-Dream group makes an investigation about “the Biggest Challenge of the University Life” and study the results of this survey.

1.Methodology and procedure

This paper uses the form of the questionnaire. In this questionnaire, we design ten questions.

A total of 19 individuals participate in the survey. They are all from postgraduate. After stating these questionnaires, we use excel to make charts in order to make our investigation more clearly and vividly. Through the statistics, we can get our conclusions. Then we analysis the results and have our recommendations.

2.Presentation and results

In this part, we will give nine charts. Each chart represents the result to the corresponding question. Then we will give some explanations to these charts.

Among this investigation, there are 10 girls and 9 boys. All of them are from Wuhan University of Science and Technology.

Chart 1

As we can see from chart 1, almost 40% of the participants think that their college life is colorful, fulfilling and satisfied. But it also has 40% hold the opinion that they are busy but they don’t know what they are busy for. Only one person thinks that it has nothing to do all day, and addicted to the Internet.The rest of the two men have no feeling and their college life is quite plain.

Chart 2

The question is about what the students do in their spare time. Nearly 40% of the participants surf the Internet or play the computer games. About 30% will do some sports. And the others are reading in the library or self-study in the classroom.

Chart 3

This question is to find what is the biggest challenge the students ever faced.Most people still think study is the biggest challenge. Nearly 30% believe social life is the the biggest challenge. And the other two think that their biggest problem is economic issue. The last three say their problem is employment enviroment.

Chart 4

From chart 4, we can see that most of the participants treat the pressure as a sort of motivation to them, but also some others feel it burden. This may demonstrate that most college students can do right to the pressure they bear, but some may need more psychological relief.

Chart 5

As we can see from chart 5, there are 3 out of 19 participants choose to surf the internet when under stress and challenge, and the same number choosing study and shopping. Besides, almost half of them choose doing some sports to relax. According these statistics we can draw that most of college students have their own ways to relax when under stress and challenges.

Chart 6

This question is about how the college students cope with the challenges they faced. From the result we can see all of the participants believe that they have overcome the challenges they faced before. Most of them choose to face their challenges head-on and grow bigger than they are, while one third of them choose to ask for help. Whatever the ways are, they overcome the challenge they faced.

Chart 7

Having become post graduate for two months, all of us may have a new understanding of the post graduate life. In the survey, 63.16% of students believe that there is a little difference between the present post graduate life and the one he had expected. Only 5.26% of participants believe totally same. So the post graduate life will be a challenge for us.

Chart 8

Nowadays the employment environment is becoming worse and worse, more and more students may feel stressed and shamed when they find jobs. Through this statistics, 73.68% of the participants feel a little stressed. Only 15.79% never thought about it. We may conclude that for the poor employment almost students will feel a little stressed.

Chart 9

This question is to find whether students have a goal for their future life when they finish the post graduate study. Through this statistics, only 15.79% of participants have a very detailed plan. They know which job they will choose when they graduate. However, 84.21% have thought about it. But their goal is not clear. They also feel a little lost. So they will make their goal clear in the next two or three post graduate life.

3.Conclusion

Through this study, we conclude most graduate students believe that the present post graduate life is different from the one they ever expected, which is a challenge they must be faced firstly. For a majority of students, study is the most obvious difference and becomes harder and more

challenging when compared with before. Although some students think the college life is colorful, fulfilling, the other students feel stressed about their current ability under the poor employment environment and busy curriculum, but most of them take the pressure into motivation and believe to improve the ability by hard work. However, others choose to shopping or doing sports to release the pressure.

In addition to graduate study, the employment environment and social life are the biggest challenges for some students, and only few students fall in the trouble with personal love issue. But everyone keeps positive to cope with the challenges, and they search for help, learn more skills and never give up. That’s an encouraging thing for students after all.

In a word, students should enjoy the graduate time which is very important during our life. When we encounter challenges, we must be brave and never quit. At the same time, we also need to make a detailed plan for the future life, and we can have more chance to succeed in this way.
