Esinye sezikhathi zokuhlola ezithandayo ezenzweni zasekolishi zabamemezeli abavunyelwe ukubona "yisikole sokuqala esikoleni somfundi wekolishi." Amandla amaningi nemali asetshenziselwa ukufinyeleleka kule ngxenye yesikhungo sokufaka izicelo njengoba izikole zifuna ukuhlukanisa inani labantu abafundi futhi zinike abafundi abaqhakazile emindenini engenamlando wegreyriji ithuba lokufuna okuthile okukhudlwana futhi okungcono kunokuba abazali babo banakho. Kanye nethuba, kunezinselele ezifundweni zokuqala ezizukulwaneni zasekolishi.

Ukungabi Nolwazi Mayelana Nokuhlangenwe nakho KwekolishiAbazali nomndeni abaya ekolishi banolwazi oluthe xaxa futhi baningi izindaba mayelana nokuhlangenwe nakho kwabo ekolishi ukuhlanganyela nezingane zabo. Nakuba izinto eziningi zingase zishintshe kusukela besesikoleni, inqubo ebalulekile yokushiya ekhaya, ukuhlala e-dorm nokuziphendulela kuyafana. Kwabafundi bokuqala basekolishi, lolo lwazi alutholakali.
Isisusa sokuya ekolishi uma umzali engeke akwenze kanjalo kakhulu. Abafundi abayizizukulwane ezine abazoqala ukuphuma esikoleni uma kuqhathaniswa neontanga zabo okungenani umzali oyedwa ophishekela imfundo ephakeme.

UkuziphendulelaUkushiya umndeni emuva ukuya ekolishi kude nekhaya akulula kunoma yimuphi umfundi omusha, kodwa kubafundi bokuqala bokuzalwa, ukukhulelwa ekhaya nokuzungukelwa kuvamise ukuphazamiseka ngecala. Ikakhulukazi kubafundi abavela emindenini yasemaphandleni, ngezinye izikhathi abayisikhulumi esiNgisi kuphela ekhaya labo, kungaba nomzwelo ongeyena futhi onzima wokuthi baye balahla umndeni wabo.
Njengabo bonke abafundi basekolishi abashiya ekhaya, ukuthola ubungane obusha nobuhlobo ekolishi kuyingxenye ebalulekile yokuhlanganiswa ekuphileni kwekampus.
Abafundi bekolishi lokuthoma kwesizukulwane sokuthoma bavame ukudinga iseluleko sendlela yokusingatha loluhlobo lokucindezelwa, begodu kanengi kufanele batjhethe bona ngubani begodu ngubani okumelwe ashiye bona. Abafundi ngezinye izikhathi kufanele bafunde ukuthi bangakha kanjani ibanga phakathi kwabo nabangane besiko labo ekhaya abafuna ubuhlobo bomuntu siqu ukuba bahlale njengakubo ngaphambi kwekolishi. - I-Professor Postings Post, iStanford University

Izimali Nokuphila KomphakathiInani labantu abasha abahlala emakolishi ama-elite abayisizukulwane sokuqala - amaphesenti angu-11 eDartmouth, amaphesenti angu-12 asePrinceton, amaphesenti angu-14 aseYale, amaphesenti angu-15 e-Amherst, amaphesenti angu-16 eConell, amaphesenti angu-17 eBrown - afana nalabo abahola kancane Phela abamukeli bezimali. - The New York Times
Ezikoleni ze-Ivy League nakwamanye amakilasi ama-elite ezweni lonke, izifundo, igumbi kanye nebhodi, kanye nezincwadi ngokuvamile zihlanganiswa yizifundo, izibonelelo, neminye imithombo yabafundi bokuqala. Ukuze uhlanganyele ekuphileni kwe-socialus ye-campus, noma kunjalo, ngokuvamile kungabiza amakhulu noma izinkulungwane zamaRandi ngaphezulu. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi isikole sinomphakathi osebenzayo wamaGreki noma abafundi bachitha amaviki abo kanye nezinsuku zokuvakasha, kunezindlela eziningi ukuthi isizukulwane sokuqala, abafundi abahola imali encane bashiye isipiliyoni ekolishi. Lokhu kunganezela kumzwelo wokuba ungaphandle, ikakhulukazi kumakolishi amancane ezindaweni eziningi ezikude lapho imisebenzi engekho ayitholakali khona.

Ukusekelwa kusuka ekhayaUkungabi nokusekelwa komndeni nabangane ekhaya, uma kuqhathaniswa nabanye abafundi abazungezile, bangenza abafundi bokuqala bekolishi bazizwe belahliwe futhi ngaphandle kwesikhuthazo abangase badinga ukuhlala kulo. Ukuze kube nobulungisa, labo abangazange bafunde ekolishi bangase bangaqondi izingcindezi nezinkathazo laba bafundi ababhekene nazo futhi bangase bangazi amagama afanele okusho ukuthi bahlale behamba futhi begxile. Kunezinhlangano ezinabeluleki nabavolontiya abangakwazi ukugcwalisa lesi sidingo sabafundi bokuqala bekolishi:
- Ngingowokuqala
- I-Gen Gen Fellows
- I-America Iyakudinga Wena
- Isizwe Sethuba

Ukungena ku-CampusEsinye sezici ezibalulekile kunoma yiliphi ikolishi lekolishi ukuthi lamukela kanjani abafundi abasha nokuthi yimaphi amathuba okuba bahlanganyele ekolishi. Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu kubafundi bokuqala bokuzalwa, okungenzeka babe kude nekhaya okokuqala empilweni yabo. Ngaphambi kokuthatha isinqumo esikoleni, abafakizicelo bekolishi kumele benze iphuzu lokuvakashela i-campus bese bezwa isimo semvelo, indawo yabantu, kanye nendawo yonke ukuze babone ukuthi usuku olunjani olusemthethweni lukhona. Abafundi kufanele baphenye uma kukhona inhlangano yabafundi bokuqala, njengaleli eHarvard.
Izinhloso zeHarvard First Generation Student Union (FGSU) yizi:
(1) Ukugqugquzela ukushintshela ekolishi kwabafundi bokuqala besizukulwane ngokusebenzisa izinhlelo ezifana nokuhlinzeka ngamanethiwekhi okufundisa kanye nokwabelana ngezidingo zezemfundo kanye nezenhlalakahle phakathi kwamalungu; (2) Ukwakha umphakathi phakathi kwabafundi bokuqala baseHarvard; futhi (3) Ukuhlinzeka umphakathi womfundi wesizukulwane sokuqala isiteji sokuveza izwi layo nokuzimela. - I-Harvard FGSU
