Felix Xing is one of our graduates this year, who is now studying Applied Japanese in Ming Chuan University of Taiwan. Being a freshman, it is perfectly understandable for him to experience difficulties in an unfamiliar environment. We can get a better understanding of his anxiety through reading his letter when he first attended college in Taiwan. (See Appendix 2)

Appendix 2:Letter from alumni Felix Xing (11/9/2015)

校長、老師你們好,我是這屆有幸來台灣大學學習的學生--邢維吉,今次有幸得到校長及MISS陳以及各位老師的幫助及支持,讓我能在台灣這麼一個美麗、快樂的環境下學習,這讓我非常感動,因此在此我想對校長及老師再次說一聲:謝謝你們!

對於台灣銘傳大學,雖然我曾經有過一面之緣,但是依舊感覺到陌生!起初跟著一車陌生的學生來到這裡,內心隱隱約約有著不少的不安,我能適應這裡嗎?我能交到好朋友嗎?我能和舍友好好相處嗎?一堆不安不時會湧上心頭,這對於以銘傳學生的身份初來埗到的我,造成不少困擾。其實,這些都是我多慮了!因為我發現雖然大家都是剛認識,彼此還相當陌生,但是熱情卻未減,這使我非常感動和開心,讓我對在這裡學習充滿了希望。

其實不瞞校長及老師,我來到銘傳大學的當天晚上,我就已經開始想家了,可能是一直生活在一個衣來伸手、飯來張口的家庭中,如今要自己面對財政及生活上的各類安排,使我感到一絲的不習慣,又或者是少了經常嘮叨自己的老媽那把聲音,使我不時有點鼻酸和眼紅。

對於這幾天的生活,我倒是適應的很快,很多負面的情緒都已經煙消雲散,反而對開學及這個學校的生活充滿了期待,唯一困難的是,學校會收一些年級康樂費、書本及居留證等的費用,這些都出乎了我原先的預算,我唯有買很多方便麵存在衣櫃吧!  好了,這次就先和校長和老師們分享到這裡,謝謝你們!
