25/09/2023
This vibrant September, China Campus Network (CCN) warmly welcomed nearly 300 Route A students of the International Foundation Programme (IFP) from across the globe, including Russia, Indonesia, Thailand, Mexico, Uzbekistan, Poland, and Vietnam, as they safely arrived at the 6 prestigious CCN IFP Study Centers. The campuses of Heilongjiang University, Jiangsu University, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Tianjin University, Xi’an Jiaotong University and Xi’an Shiyou University started buzzing with excitement as the students dived into a new world of opportunities and knowledge, ready to embrace a fresh academic chapter.
在这个充满活力的九月，来自全球各国的近300名留学中国预科教育联盟(CCN)国际预科A路径学生相继抵达中国，分别到六个CCN国际预科中心大学报到。这些学生分别来自俄罗斯、印度尼西亚、泰国、墨西哥、乌兹别克斯坦、波兰、越南等国。黑龙江大学、江苏大学、西北工业大学、天津大学、西安交通大学和西安石油大学对新生的到来表示热烈欢迎。学生们将投身于一个充满机遇和知识的新世界，在中国开始新的预科学习篇章。
With a size almost three times that of Route B and C batches combined, this IFP group signifies a remarkable turning point in the post-pandemic time. This enormous expansion is a true testament to the enduring strengths and benefits that IFP provides to students, as well as our strong commitment to a vibrant future with the study in China brand.
此次到达的预科生人数几乎是B、C路径总和的三倍，也是CCN在疫情后首次迎接大规模新生入学。这很好地反应了预科课程可持续的价值和优势，及其为来华留学生提供的无限机会，同时也体现了CCN对进一步发展“留学中国”品牌的坚定信心。
China Campus Network is looking forward to receiving more IFP students from all over the world in 2024 as they start their journey of studying in China!
CCN期待在2024年迎接更多来自世界各地的预科学生，开启他们的留学中国之旅！

Filled with dreams and eager anticipation, students were thrilled to embark on their long-awaited journey to China and commence their studies for CCN IFP in China. With invaluable guidance and assistance from our dedicated colleagues at CCN Local Offices, their arrival in China was seamless. Waiting to greet them at the airports of different cities were well-prepared teachers from CCN IFP Centers and our attentive CCN staff.

For many of these students, this journey marked their very first big international excursion, as they ventured across vast distances to reach China. Some had the pleasure of being accompanied by their parents, who embarked on this adventure to not only support their children but also to explore China’s vibrant culture and dynamic economic growth, as well as the universities and cities where their children would live and study. Our commitment extended to the comfort and well-being of both students and parents, ensuring that everyone enjoyed a worry-free and fulfilling experience.
对于许多学生来说，此次来华是他们第一次重要的国际旅行。有些学生的父母也陪同前来，不仅为了给孩子加油鼓劲，他们还希望亲自探索中国文化、领略中国社会经济的飞速发展，并到孩子即将生活和学习的大学及城市走一走、看一看。CCN为预科学生提供了专业周到的到达服务，确保每个环节都准备充分，为学生提供顺畅的入学体验。
DORMITORY CHECK-IN | 宿舍入住
Prior to the students’ arrival, dedicated teachers at the CCN IFP Centres made full preparations for the dormitories, ensuring that even those who arrived at the campus early in the morning could seamlessly move into their new accommodations without delay.
在学生到达之前，CCN IFP中心老师们精心检查和准备了宿舍，确保即使是在清晨抵达校园的学生也能顺利入住新的住所，没有任何延迟。
As the students stepped onto the campus, they were greeted by their seniors, volunteering as CCN Student Ambassadors, that adeptly guided them through the check-in process, assisted by the on-site CCN staff. These thoughtfully designed and fully equipped dormitories have been tailored to serve as a welcoming home-away-from-home for the students during their foundation studies. Upon settling in, students took the opportunity to personalize their living spaces, forming the foundation for lasting roommate friendships and a nurturing academic environment.
当学生们步入校园时，他们受到了CCN学生大使的热烈欢迎，这些学生大使也是学长学姐，在现场CCN工作人员的协助下，熟练地引导新生完成入住手续。同学们的宿舍设计周到，设备齐全，旨在为学生在预科学习期间提供一个温馨的“家”。安顿下来后，同学们开始装扮他们新的生活空间，认识了新的室友，共同打造一个良好的学习环境。
SETTLING-IN ON CAMPUS | 校园适应
Under the professional guidance of teachers at the CCN IFP Centres and support from CCN staff and CCN Student Ambassadors, the new students seamlessly navigated through the enrollment procedures and registration at the International Offices on campus. In doing so, they officially became international students, fully prepared to embark on their transformative foundation studies in China.

During the first couple of days on campus, CCN Student Ambassadors played an instrumental role in assisting new students with various essential tasks. They guided students through the process of acquiring mobile phone SIM cards, setting up bank accounts, and activating Alipay and WeChat Pay. Armed with these versatile payment tools, students are poised to embrace the remarkable convenience of China’s renowned digital payment system. From supermarket checkouts to vending machines, dining out to ordering takeaways, commuting on shared bicycles to riding the subways, their mobile phones became their key to exploring every facet of China’s modern lifestyle.
在校园的头几天，CCN学生大使在协助新生完成各种重要任务方面发挥了关键作用。他们帮助新生办理手机SIM卡，开设银行账户，激活支付宝和微信支付等。有了这些功能强大的支付工具，新生们将享受到中国数字化支付所带来的便利。无论是超市结账、自动售货机，还是外出就餐或订外卖，或骑共享单车、乘坐地铁，同学们的手机将成为他们探索中国现代生活的法宝。
As students acclimated to their new campus, they were delighted to discover a wealth of conveniences right at their fingertips. From supermarkets and stores located either on campus or in close proximity, where they will be able to effortlessly procure daily essentials, to different facilities, such as well-equipped gyms, sports courts, libraries, and more, promising a vibrant and enriching student life in the upcoming academic year.
随着同学们逐渐熟悉新的校园环境，他们高兴地发现，许多便利设施近在咫尺。校园附近有超市和商店，同学们可以轻松地采购日常必需品，还有设施齐全的健身房、运动场、图书馆等，他们将拥有一段丰富多彩的来华留学生活。
CCN ORIENTATION LECTURE | CCN迎新讲座
During the comprehensive orientation meetings, our dedicated teachers provided a thorough briefing with important information in relation to both academic pursuits and daily life at Chinese universities. Students absorbed essential insights into the rules and regulations that would guide their journey throughout the IFP studies, setting the stage not only for the upcoming months of foundation but also for the exciting years ahead in their undergraduate studies and student life.
在迎新讲座上，CCN老师们为同学们提供了有关在中国大学学习和生活的重要信息和说明事项。迎新讲座帮助大家了解了相关校园规章制度，不仅为预科学习提供了专业指导，同时还为其未来的本科学习生活提前做了准备。
