Newbie in ELBI

Newbie in ELBI Such can shock students and may cause them to feel anxious, confused, homesick, and even angry.

A student-led educational psychology advocacy campaign intended to help the incoming UPLB freshmen in transitioning from high school to college in terms of their academics. The goal of this campaign is to prepare the incoming freshman students of UPLB of what they can expect once they enter the university by raising awareness on the differences in the cultures, especially in the academic aspect. T

he transition from high school to college life is often a daunting and whirlwind of experience as they are being introduced to cultures that they are not used to. (University of Kansas Counseling and Psychological Services, n.d.) Through this campaign, we aim to provide the freshmen a sense of comfort and equip them with knowledge about university life in UPLB. Moreover, we are trying to minimize the impacts of culture shock that could negatively affect their overall college experience by sharing some tips, advice, and experiences on how we dealt with it.
