Abstract

The psychological problems of college students from a rural area are more common and special than those from the city. The period of the first year in university plays a key part for students to shift the role from a high school student to a university student. At this stage, rural students face a lot of psychological problems. Studies have shown that there are four main reasons leading to so many psychological problems of freshman from rural area: the big economic and cultural gap between urban and rural, the lower cultural level and less developed educational concept of the rural parents, the lack of psychological health education in basic education and the poor psychological quality of students. To solve these problems, we need to concentrateon above four aspects and take some effective measures. The society should implement its economic strategy to narrow the gap between rural and urban. Also, the system of mental health educationshould cover the whole society. Parents need to know more mental health education knowledge to understand and communicate with their children. Schoolsshould improve mental health education and increase the intensity of the funding for poor students from a rural area. Personally, rural students should improve their psychological quality and understand themselves in a comprehensive way.
