Being a fresher.

Today we discussed the problems that have arisen from being a fresher in a new city. Initially we started in pairs and came up with 20 problems. Then the pairs paired up and 20 problems were picked out of the collective 40. Two groups of 4 would then pair up and pick 20 of the 40 problems. At this point the groups of 8 swapped problems and chose the 10 most applicable problems from another groups list. The ten problems from every group then went on the wall, and a discussion was had to pick the most applicable 10, and these were then further specified. 



Some Of The Sheets From the Groups I Was In

The 10 specified problems were:

1.   Finding employment to support studies and lifestyle
      2.   Keeping fit and healthy within a budget
      3.   Concerned about standard of own work compared to others
      4.   Effective time management and having a good social life as well as doing enough work
      5.   Maintaining a positive and creative attitude
      6.   Working with new people
      7.   Navigating a new city    
      8.   Budgeting
      9.   Taking care of valuables
