SCNU welcomed 8,099 full-time undergraduates and 6,456 new postgraduate students at three campuses, the Shipai campus, the University Town campus, and the Nanhai campus, on September 3. Due to super typhoon Haikui, new students to the Shanwei campus had their registration postponed until September 4.
Security staff and volunteers at SCNU started their preparation for welcoming the newcomers in the early morning, to ensure a secure and smooth registration.
As they entered the school gates, the newcomers were greeted with a banner wishing them a "warm welcome to new students of grade 2023" and volunteers kindly offering them to help with the registration, and guide them to the residential buildings.
Counselors and student assistant tutors collected and distributed enrolment materials at each registration site.
Volunteers welcomed the new students and helped them transport their luggage upon entering the gates. All volunteers at the three campuses provided guidance and gave information to the newcomers, helping them better embark on their new lives at college.
The new students talked about their first impressions of SCNU and expressed their wishes on the registration day. Sun Yingjie, a 2023 undergraduate majoring in Chinese Language and Literature (teacher training), felt pleasantly surprised to receive the welcoming gift bag from the university, which included a notebook inscribed with her name, a customized canvas bag specific for students of the School of Chinese Language and Literature, and a specially made card holder. She said that becoming a SCNUer in its 90th year inspires her to take up the responsibility and pass on the tradition as a youth.
Lei Yajin, a non-degree Chinese language student at the School of International Culture, came to SCNU for the first time. Having studied at the Confucius Institute at the University of Latvia before, she is fluent in Chinese. She shared a story on her first day at SCNU and said that the teachers at SCNU were very kind. It was under the teachers' guidance that she managed to find her way and finish the registration process. She looks forward to life at SCNU and expects to explore the city.
