Introduction

Amity Business School

The environment is something you are very familiar with. It's

everything that makes up our surroundings and affects our ability
to live on the earththe air we breathe, the water that covers
most of the earth's surface, the plants and animals around us,
and much more.

There are many categories of environments. A natural environment is

composed of all living and non-living things which are present on our
planet, Earth. A built environment is the buildings and structures which we
have built.

In recent years, scientists have been carefully examining the ways that
people affect the environment. They have found that we are causing air
pollution, deforestation, acid rain, and other problems that are dangerous
both to the earth and to ourselves. These days, when you hear people
talk about the environment, they are often referring to the overall
condition of our planet, or how healthy it is.

Environment Change

People go through various phases of adjustment when

they move from one culture to another.
Let me explain through an example in which it will be very
clear about the environment and how we adjust to new
environment
In this example we will explain how people go through
various phases .

Stages in adaptation process

Stage 1
Fatigue

After a long flight, it is normal to arrive feeling tired. Suffering from sleep deprivation , you
may soon show symptoms of arrival fatigue.
When you are in this state of mind, it is advisable to take things easy so your body and
mind can be one again.
This is also why we suggest that you arrive a couple days before Orientation to give
yourself time to recover and adjust to the new environment

Getting settled

When i arrived at campus,i was led to block C basement for our orientation which was
led by Mrs Chhaya Chordia our hostel warden .She gave us a brief intro of how things
works st amity ,what are the rules and regulation we have to abide by and how not to get
in trouble. Making it very clear that she will follow rules by book and no exception will be
made .

After the orientation was over we were issued our rooms in the respected hostel.

Now all that awaits for me was who will be my new room mates and will i be able to
adjust with them and their habits.But luckily we all belong to same stream .After a days
rest we have our college orientation

Orientation

Make sure that you arrive in time for Orientation. This will give you time to ease into
your new environment before classes begin.

Orientation will provide valuable information about living in Noida, including the
culture and norms . You will also learn important things about Amity, such as what is
expected of you as a student and how the University works.

Orientation also gives you an opportunity to meet other students, including new
students from all over india who are probably feeling as excited and nervous as you
are.

StageAdjusting
4 to a new environment

Amity Business School

Studying in Amity can be very exciting but it can also be challenging as you adapt to new
ways of doing things.

Living in a new culture means a lot of changes in your life including absence from family
and friends, meeting new friends and developing networks, learning new social customs
and behaviours, experiencing a different climate and different foods.

My greatest challenge after joining Amity was to learn and understand Hindi as my
deadline of speaking Hindi is 1st semester. I had to adjust to way of speaking and its
own brand of slang.

I had to get use to different ways of doing things and to develop a new network of
support . I found many new good friends and supporting teachers (to a non-commerce
background ).

my friends and family for a helpful talk . It is comforting to be able to talk to a friend and
share my experiences.

Following were my experiences;

headaches

boredom

depression

Sleep deprivation

upset stomach

loss of appetite

lack of motivation

feeling overwhelmed by small inconveniences

extreme homesickness

It was important to recognise that culture shock which may come as a normal process of
adjustment and all four of us had couple of these symptoms at some point in our Amity
stay and I am sure it would be common with many of the people sitting here who have left
their homes to study at Amity. If the symptoms stay with you, it is important to get some
help.You can consult your buddy mentors or meet Mrs Gujaral maam.

Stage 5

Keep Yourself Occupied

As it have been mentioned in the above slides its very common to face difficulties to
adjust to the new environment and you are not able to focus on your study , your health
might be affected or in extreme cases you might have to leave the course and return
back home.
the best advice is not to forget your goal of coming to amity focusing on it and trying
your best to one up your own dream (life is full of unlimited possibilities) and so is
amity ,its not just a place to study but meet new people from all over India ,socialise,get
to know about different cultures and religions that compiles to be ONE INDIA .
making good friends which will stay for life and a uncomparable sport facilities to keeps
you fit and interested .

Effective adjustment to new environment is necessary as people

come from different regions with different cultures. So people should

coordination for their better future.
