All of us agreed that the college should set a certain date for family day or open day in the college. And the college should support the social life of students by providing trips to different countries in summer time and try to take them to social exhibitions in the UAE to learn a cultural diversity and adapt to social life. In contrast we came out with an important point which is adding a special program for weak students who are  facing problems in the study to help them.
