This article made a text analysis on the news about social service from the column of "university events” . It shows that the social service of newly-building undergraduate university has distinctive features and has an orientation of "localness, application, openness”, which is a natural advantage. It also has the following problems: too many plans lacking systematicness, core competence and sense of participation, lower service level, out-of-date philosophy and so on. It is suggested that newly-building undergraduate university make an inner-driven transformation, with direct and active service to others.
