to survive the Sopis, we need to have strong mind to participate in class anytime. Also we need to be soft enough to work out with anyone we have to work with.

I think we need passion to survive Sopis. Sometimes, we don't want to anything also, we just wait to finish it. But, it was very helpful to prepare Fall semester even though I had hard time. The most important thing is a cardigan.... Classroom is too cold -_-

In order to survive SOPIS, friends are important. They help you all the time, and you always have fun with them. We can't go over SOPIS without friends.

For survivng the Sopis, we need self-confidence. Although many sopis students are unfamiliar with everything is New York and it is hard time to study English, if we have a self-confidence, it is very helpful to survive the Sopis and Fall semester.

For me, I think we need an active and positive personality, also need enough physical and spiritual health. Furthermore, we need to know how to get rid of stresses. I think these are most important things to survive in SOPIS.

In order to survive Sopis, is really important to be patient and get advantage of it the maximum as you can. Also is vital to keep in touch with your friends and family back home, and hang out with some other people that you knew in NYC.

All you need to survive here, is the strengh to continue the rutine everyday, and be aware that this is just the first step to attend Parsons. And take the time to know the people of youre group or other group you might be lucky enough and have a nice friendship. Also you need a bottle of Tylenol because the hedeaches you going to have are quite often. BUt must imnportant of all Be PATIENT with averybody teachers and classmates. And keep talking to youre family and friends, they will make you feel secure when you need it.

It was very meaningful for me to do the sopis survival kit becuase it was the only project related to product design which is my major. i am not quite satisfied at my art work, but it was a fine start I guess.

To survival, we need effort. Even if we have lots of possibility and talent, we should take an advantage of our cabability.
The more we feel hard, the more we get.

I think creating something new, participating in the program actively, and not being late are really important to survive SOPIS. So, I tried to reflect these thoughts in this project.

I think concentrating on your inside is important. You are in different city ,which is one of the busiest place in the world, from your home country.
You met a lot of people, you need to get a long with people inculding conflicts. You might change your name,too. You have a chance to build your identity again. Or, if you like your identity try not to lose it.. So either way, you should listen to yourself camly in this caos. It will make you more confident and better person.

I think we have to have self- confidence to survive sopis program because we are in New York and we are learning second language. so,when we have presentation in our class, we tend to lose self-confidence. Therefore,
we have to participate in class, share what we think with classmates, and be active people in our class.
I think that is a good way to survive sopis program

gTo survive Sopis,team works are really important. Altough lots of people want to be individual in their work because it's hard to convince others about their opinions, learning how to complement each other is importat thing to learn as well. Moreover, listening to others opinion makes us think more and it builds patienit personality.

To survive the SOPIS, we need strong attitude. I think when we are in this program, we have lots of opportunity to explore Manhattan and have fun.Therefore, we should spend time to search for fun and experiences
