Later, according to the Mentor Caring Programme (MCP), new students were grouped to meet their teachers and peers, who would help them adapt to college life more smoothly.
Next, they would participate in activities including the school's open day, military training, meetings with deans and teachers, English Enhancement Programme (EEP) and more.
Several freshmen shared their reasons for choosing UIC. They said they were impressed and attracted by UIC's liberal arts education, high-quality lecturers and professors, and international environment.
