The fast development of higher education in China has offered more ordinary people the opportunity to pursue their dream of attending college. It is also playing increasingly important roles in their career development. According to the latest report, in 2017, about 3.72 million freshmen were enrolled in college. To help freshmen adjust themselves to campus life, some universities in Shanghai have come up with innovative ways of welcoming freshmen. The new methods included posting information guides on social networks like Weibo and WeChat, using smartphone apps to simplify admission procedures, etc. At the same time, some orientation programs were organized for freshmen to help them get involved in learning as soon as possible and accomplish the transition from high school to college.
