Moving up to the first year of college means the end of high school and the beginning of college life. As students, we also hope that we can "renew our lives" and start a new journey in our lives.
During this journey, many students will ask their parents to buy computers for their own "equipment" to update, on the grounds that they will use it in college, whether it is homework or class. But parents worry that children who have been depressed in high school for a long time will become addicted to computers and affect their studies.
"The public is justified, the mother says that the wife is reasonable", the consideration of both sides seems to have a certain degree of truth, which makes some parents fall into a dilemma, is this computer to buy or not to buy?
<h3>▌ Freshman year, is a laptop a "necessity"? Come and listen to the counselors</h3>
Children who don't go to college and the level of demand for computers are hearsay; parents either haven't gone to college or have graduated a long time ago, and they don't have an absolute say in the matter. Maybe we can listen to college counselors.
▲ Whether the computer buys or not, the professional has the final say
Whether or not to buy a computer in the first year of college depends largely on what major the child is studying in college.
If the child is studying computer science, then the computer must be just needed. Because they will involve some programming problems in their freshman year, it is particularly inconvenient to have their own computer, and it will definitely affect children's learning for a long time.
On the contrary, if the child is studying liberal arts majors such as literature, history and philosophy, there is not much use of computers, especially in their freshman year.
Most of the freshmen study public courses, such as college English, ideological and political courses, etc., which do not have any special hardware requirements during class. Therefore, there is no need for parents to buy computers for their children in their freshman year.
▲Freshman year without a computer, life as usual
Some students have always let their parents buy computers in the name of "learning must", in fact, 80% of the majors will not have much impact on learning even if they do not have computers in their freshman year.
Almost all of today's students have smart phones or tablets, and these electronic devices can fully meet the daily needs of children. Universities also have computer rooms, libraries and electronic reading rooms, which can help students obtain the materials they need.
Some universities even specify in their acceptance letters that some majors are not allowed to bring computers with them during their freshman year. If you do not heed the advice, forcibly bringing a computer into the school will be confiscated and punished.
It can be seen that buying a computer in a freshman year is not a necessary item. Moreover, for some families, entering the university, tuition fees increase, and the cost of all aspects increases, and at this time, the suspension of buying a computer can also save a family a cost that they do not know.
In summary, it is not difficult to conclude that computers are not "just needed" for most freshmen, and there is no need to prepare "equipment" for children when they first enter college.
However, the use of computers in today's society is still very large, and they are the same indispensable "necessities" of life as mobile phones, and they need to be prepared for children sooner or later.
<h3>▌ Computers are a "necessity" to buy sooner or later, but it is important to grasp the timing, otherwise students will be ruined</h3>
As parents worry, today's children rarely buy computers for learning, and most people use it as a game console and a disc player. Some students buy a computer is just a follow-up behavior, thinking that others have me, otherwise they will be inferior.
If you buy a computer for your child during your freshman year of adapting to college life, once your child is addicted to it and sets a bad tone for college, the child is ruined. This is also what many parents do not want to see.
As a parent, it is not to buy a computer for your child, but to choose the right time. And you can use the fact that your child wants a computer to motivate your child to study well, and if your child does well in college, you can buy a computer for your child.
This treatment can not only make the child have one more goal in the confused period of the first year of college, but also not make the computer unpleasant between parents and children.
<h3>▌ Write at the end</h3>
Whether to buy a computer in the first year, the counselor has given a very clear answer, that is, depending on the major, it changes with time.
The beauty of the university is far more than limited to a computer, and the little newcomers must not be too entangled on the computer, with our eyes that find beauty, to enjoy the richness of the university.
