What safety issues should international students pay attention to?
personal security
Before moving into an apartment, you must have a general understanding of the surrounding environment of the community, such as public transportation system, public facilities, police stations, hospitals and so on. Learn to call the police. You only have one life. When a problem is found, the general American police will arrive at the report site within 3- 10 minutes. Don't be afraid of trouble or face the police. They are the most powerful guarantee when encountering problems.
Keep a certain amount of cash on you and know how to protect yourself in case of robbery or robbery. Nothing is more important than life. Girls can prepare a simple pepper spray or electric shock stick in their bags or bedrooms. It is best not to encounter danger, but if they encounter danger, they are prepared.
Keep good communication with friends around you and relatives in China. When you are alone, you should have the most basic self-help ability, write down your friends' phone numbers and contact information, call the police at the first time, and then try to let your family and friends know the situation at the first time in order to seek more help. In crowded places, you must pay attention to where the nearest emergency exit is. In case of danger, there are two actions that can quickly protect yourself and reduce the chance of injury-get down in place, find shelter, carefully observe the exit position, and find the right time to rush to the exit quickly.
If you find something unusual around you, you should learn to leave the scene at the first time instead of joining in the fun. Try to avoid going to relatively remote places at night, and try to avoid being in a separate and closed space with strangers. Keep a low profile, don't show off your wealth, don't compare with others, and don't attract the attention of criminals.
Physical health
After the general students go abroad, the school will buy the corresponding student insurance, which basically covers most of the medical expenses. We should learn to use health insurance rationally and understand our physical condition, especially mental health problems.
If you find persistent discomfort, you should go to the school hospital or hospital for physical examination as soon as possible to ensure your health.
When you find yourself suddenly unwell, whether you have insurance or not, you must call an ambulance at the first time, then contact someone and keep talking until someone arrives at the scene.
mental health
There is a process to adapt to the new environment. In the process of adaptation, since you have come to this environment, you should try to find aspects that will attract you and make you like this living and learning environment, and create a relatively comfortable living and learning environment for yourself.
When you find yourself depressed, you can consult the school's psychological counseling teacher as soon as possible. Don't be shy or timid. Loneliness abroad will be greatly enhanced. In a relatively independent environment, only you know what you need most, and in many cases only your own decision can change the status quo. Don't be ashamed to express your anxiety and negative emotions. It is important to find an exit for release.
To maintain good communication with parents in China, parents may face domestic work and life, but they don't know much about American life, but don't forget that parents are the people who care most about themselves at any time, so it is very necessary for parents to know their psychology, study and life at any time.
Keep active communication with friends. There is some truth in the old saying, "Depend on your parents at home and your friends when you go out." Choosing a gregarious friend will save you a lot of mental troubles in your study abroad.
In a foreign country, long snacks, safety first.
