这些中国学生最喜欢的美国名校,美国学生怎么说?

的确一百个人眼中有一百个周杰伦,每个人都有自己的判断,这很正常。但不意味着只跟喜欢我的人接触,要善于听多元的声音。

中国学生喜欢的名校在美国学生眼中是什么样呢?罗列了几个,虽然不是我的观点,但是可以拿出来探讨……

1. 哥伦比亚大学

Columbia University Campus Life:

Its not really a campus based party scene. Its New York, so student's don't have off campus houses to support that. The frats exist, but they aren't"open" like they are at the other Ivies. They aren't a real factorsocially. The bar scene is hit or miss, sometimes tons of people are out at places like Casbah, other nights (usually Friday) it might be quiet. A lot of people get into cliques and go off into the city.

哥大里没什么所谓的校园聚会。这是纽约,所以学生没有校外的房子来当聚会场所。有兄弟会,但也不像其它的常青藤学校那么经常“活动”。真不是什么典型社交大学。偶然能碰上聚会,要么全是人,要么没什么人去。比如有时一大帮堆在卡斯巴(某酒吧),其它的晚上(通常在周五)校园里可能很安静。大家都拉帮结伙的出去在市里玩了。

2. 康奈尔大学

“Is Cornell "far" from big cities and does it get cold uphere? Yes and yes. I always hated winter, but there's something about it uphere that makes me appreciate both so much. Because there's no major city,students stick together to hang out and build bonds. I'm definitely going to keep in touch with everyone because of the amount of time I've spent with themand everything we've went through. The snow here really isn't a problem--and that was one thing I was worried about. You'll never walk in more than 2 inches of snow because the snow management here is like magic”

康奈尔大学是不是离大城市很远?那是不是冻死人了?千真万确!我特别讨厌冬天,但那也有一些事让我感触颇深。因为就是一个小城镇,所以学生们总是一起出去,互相认识熟悉。我绝对会跟每个人都保持联系,因为大部分的时间里我都得跟他们在一起。下雪真的不是个问题,虽然我也曾担心过。地上的雪不会超过2英寸,因为那除雪的速度就跟变戏法一样。

3. 卡内基梅隆大学

“CMU, especially CS, is a crowd of very intelligent workaholics who are willing to sacrifice sleep, personal hygiene, relationships and otherthings most people find as necessities to pursue academic pursuits and honetheir ability, and the professors encourage this behavior. When I was there grade inflation was not an issue and in some classes strict bell curves wereenforced to the point that over a 100% was required on some assignments to getan A.”

卡梅,特别是计算机科学专业生,就是一帮智商超群的工作狂。他们愿意放弃睡觉时间、个人卫生、人际关系以及其他一些别人认为必要的东西,只为追求学术研究,在专业领域有所成就,教授们还鼓励这种行为。我还在那学习的时候好成绩一点儿不稀奇,在一些班里的某些作业都要求A的成绩甚至更高。

4. 南加州大学

“Is USC's alumni network really as amazing as it sounds?

For USC graduates to fully benefit from the famed Trojan FamilyNetwork, they must engage and participate in one of the many USC Alumni Clubsboth here in the US and around the world. There are 19 Alumni clubs inCalifornia alone, 25 in the US outside of California and 22 internationally toa total of 66 worldwide. These numbers only explain the depth of the officialUSC Alumni Association and not all of the individual schools, departments,athletic support groups, fraternity & sorority, etc. events that go onconstantly around you whether you are aware of them or not.”

南加大的毕业生关系网真的像别人说的那样好吗?

南加大的毕业生真的能从有名的“Trojan Family”关系网中受益,他们必须在美国或者世界范围内至少加入一个南加大毕业生俱乐部。光加州就有19个毕业生俱乐部,美国内加州以外还有25个,世界范围内还有22个,一共66个。这只是南加大正式的毕业生协会的数量,还不含院、系、运动团体,兄弟会/姐妹会等团体的活动。

5. 东北大学

Alternative Spring Break. There are a number of opportunities to volunteer abroad during spring break — such as in Costa Rica and Israel. Someclasses and scholarship programs go abroad for spring break, too. One of mybest friends is going to Japan (all expenses paid) this spring through ascholarship; and, I have heard of certain classes going to Italy.

春假交换生~春假有许多机会报名出国,像哥斯达黎加和以色列。还有些课程和奖学金项目在春假的时候去国外进行。我最好的朋友之一去了日本(全额奖学金),我还听说有些课程是去意大利。

公立名校:

1.  UIUC

“How's life at UIUC?

UIUC is one of the most diverse campuses I've seen. They are known for their diversity, not including that big number of Illinois residents.

You can have so much fun on the campus. There are over 1,000clubs/organizations. A friend of mine went there with little cultural experience, and now she is a member of an ethnic dance team and president of a political club. She is a biology/pre-med major, and she's a freshman!”

伊利诺伊香槟分校是我见过最多样化的大学之一。它的多样性众所周知,学校里并不单单只有许多的伊利诺伊当地人。

你能在大学里玩得相当愉快!超过1000个俱乐部或团体组织。我一朋友没有什么文化经验,但现在她是民族舞蹈队的一员,还是某政治兴趣俱乐部部长,关键她是生物医学预科的新生。

2.  普渡大学

“Whatare some really cool facts about Purdue University, West Lafayette?

The Nuclear Engineering Department have anuclear reactor for their students to train in, although the output is onlyenough to power light bulbs.

DidYou Know?: Purdue Reactor No. 1

The Electrical and Computer Engineering department is the largestdepartment on campus and operates in 3 buildings, including the new building,Wang Hall.

The Brick Nanotechnology Center at the Purdue Discovery Park has oneof the only Class 1–10–100 clean room, Scifres Nanofabrication Laboratory inthe entire nation.

We have the Boilermaker Butcher Block which like many schools withargicultural departments, which sells meat produce at a great price.

In 1896, Math Professor Clarence Abiathar Waldo prevents the Indianastate senate from making Pi 3.2 by pointing the fallacy of the reasoning of it.

Purdueto celebrate Pi Day, role in defending the mathematical constant

Purdue had Amelia Earhart as part of the aviation faculty and herdocuments at the Purdue Archives are open to any student or researcher to read.It is the same for any famous alumni who donated their files to Purdue.

The founder of Purdue University, John Purdue is buried on the campusgrounds”

核工程系有个给学生培训用的核反应器,但它的功率也就只能点亮个灯泡。

电子与计算机工程系是大学里最大的系别,拥有3座楼,包括新的教学楼

普渡大学发现园里的布瑞克纳米中心拥国内1-10-100级的无尘室之一,西弗里斯纳米实验室

像其他学校农业系一样,我们有Boilermaker肉铺区,肉产品的价格很便宜

在1896年,数学教授Clarence Abiathar Waldo据理力争,阻止了印第安纳州上议院把圆周率定为3.2。

普渡的航空学院出过Amelia Earhart,她在普渡档案馆的文献对所有的学生和研究者开放。知名毕业生为普渡捐赠的文献也是如此。

普渡大学的创建者,John Purdue就埋在大学校园里。

3.  密歇根安娜堡分校

“Things to do around Ann Arbor?

Also look at the University Record. It has a list of every university event including recitals by music students, lectures, public discussion, etc.You could do 10 different things a day or more. You can volunteer as an usherat the Ark and get in free, there are concerts at Kerrytown, and tons ofstudent organizations. Pioneer HS has an awesome theater department too. Thereare also lots of local participant sports, leagues, Sunday bike rides, etc.etc. Lots of cheap eats around town too.”

参考下大学官网,会列出每个大学活动包括音乐生的独奏会,讲座,研讨会等,一天中你能找出10件事或更多。你可以主动去做个志愿者,自己就不用花钱了。克里镇有很多音乐会,还有一大堆学生组织,有个很棒的剧院。还有很多的当地的运动会,讲座周日骑行等等等等……城里也有许多便宜的餐馆。

4.  UCLA

“UCLA Sororities

there are drugs and there is partying but it's easy to avoid that stuff if you choose to. Realistically this is not LMU, everybody doesn't do hard drugs. A lot of people do smoke recreationally, but like i said you can easily avoid this if you so choose. I know quite a few people, including myself, who are a part of greek life but rarely party/drink. I think i went to maybe 4 parties last quarter but going greek was still a fantastic decision because when it comes down to it it's not just about partying/hooking up(atleast in my eyes). There is still plenty to do without drinking all the time.

加州洛杉矶分校女生会(一种社交活动)

party中的确有嗑药的,但你如果不选择去的话也很容易避开。实际上这不又是LMU(可能她认为LMU比较多吧……),没有人会用上瘾毒品。很多人是为了解闷会抽烟,但就像我说的如果你不选择去吸的话也很容易避开。我认识相当一部分人,包括我自己,也参加联谊会但很少party或者喝酒。我想过去三个月我可能也就去过4个party。但参加联谊会依然是个很棒的选择,因为归根结底,它不单单是party,除了一直喝酒,还有太多事可以做。

5.  UCB

“Is it true that students at UC Berkeley can go to class in their pajamas?

Pajamas? When I was there, nobody would have batted an eye at pajamas.Heck, pjs would have been considered high fashion compared to what some people wore. And then there's the case of the Naked Guy. Yup, naked, except for shoes and a back pack. He would also carry a smallish towel to put on the grottyseats”

加州伯克利的学生穿睡衣上课是真的吗?

睡衣?我还在那上学的时候没人觉得穿睡衣有多“引人关注”。呵呵哒,跟一些人穿的相比,睡衣可真是够时尚的……还有个裸男的例子。没错,不穿衣服,除了鞋和背包。他还得随身携带个小毛巾垫椅子上。

所以,关于什么是好大学……你怎么看?
