This program is going to force you to make some changes in your life-style and priorities.
For some of you, this field school might be your first extended trip away from home, or your first university coursework.
Some things, like appearance, that were important back in civilization, will be of much less significance in the field. Keeping warm (or cool), dry, adequately fed, and clean (conditions which are generally taken for granted back home) will assume much greater importance in your life.
These changes can be disturbing, and the demands on your time can sometimes be overwhelming.
The staff will always help you IF you realize that you must do most of the work yourself - your success is a function of your attitude.
