To foster camaraderie among the freshmen, they participated in an ice-breaking workshop where they were divided into groups. Faculty members and students engaged in discussions on the topic of “How to Survive on a Deserted Island,” promoting cross-cultural exchange and communication among students from different nations.
The “Pre-Entrance Seminar” was also conducted online simultaneously, with faculty and staff providing support and facilitating discussions in multiple languages.
Aligned with the core spirit from the university’s charter, “Together, we enjoy freely. Together, we live through the society”, our faculty and staff are committed to supporting students from various countries. We strive to ensure that every student enters the university with enthusiasm and without concerns, and we extend our best wishes to all new students for a rewarding and fruitful university experience.
