Wait, wait, wait, the news of the thermal ferrite didn't come, but Evan already had to live in the designated dormitory of Caltech, Hovses (the South House was written earlier, and it was later found that the North House was only built in 1960, so it was modified here).

On September 23, just after 9 a.m., Evan showed up at the entrance of Caltech with a backpack on his back.

Rogers had been waiting here early.

Evan felt that with Rogers' help, the formalities and stuff should be done quickly.

When school started, Rogers' internship at ACAH could not continue, and Carl generously gave him a lot of money. Rogers felt that he would not need to find a new place next summer, so he was particularly concerned about Evan's affairs.

"Let's go, we'll try to get it ready by noon!" Evan said to Rogers after the rendezvous.

The two walked briskly, walking about fifty meters, and when they were about to reach OliveWalk, Evan saw a group of people walking towards them with a man with an oriental face. The man was dragging a Samsonite wheeled suitcase, and many of the crowd looked like students.

As soon as he saw the man, Evan stopped and consciously leaned to the side of the road, but he did not take his eyes off until they had passed him and could not even see his back.

Although Rogers felt a little strange, he didn't rush Evan until Evan started again, and then asked, "Evan, do you know Professor Qian?"

Evan shook his head and said, "I just think it's very curious to see Orientals here!"

Rogers said, "Professor Qian is a very good Oriental. ”

Unfortunately, if you want to see him again at Caltech, you will have to wait until he returns from MIT.

Less than noon, Evan dragged his Samsonite suitcase into his dormitory.

This is the Blacker House in the lower right corner of the four neighborhoods, dormitory number 11, a single room, on the first floor, with windows facing California Street.

The location is not bad, sitting north facing south, in the morning will not be directly sun, but the car downstairs may be a little noisy.

The room doesn't really belong to Evan yet, though. Because the first week was just a trial stay. During the week, new students known as "frosh" can have dinner and snacks at all the houses, have the opportunity to meet all the house members, and participate in their daily activities. This process allows new students to experience the differences between different houses, as well as for the senior members of each house to evaluate future new members.

Each of the four communities has its own characteristics and mottos: the members of the BlackerHouse are called "Moles", whose motto is "nothing is worth it, unless it's hard" and the people who live in it are mostly nerdy, and the members of DabneyHouse who are called "Darbs" and whose motto is "loyalty and gratitude"; The members of FlemingHouse are known as "Flems" with the motto "Let the action do the talking!" and the members of Ricketts House are known as "Skurves" with the motto "Know me as you are".

Each community has its own kitchen, communal dining room, and there are no separate bathrooms and toilets in the dormitories, which are also communal.

Heading into second grade, Rogers did not opt out of Hovses. He lives on the second floor of the Dabney House, quite far from Evan.

That evening, Evan attended the welcome dinner at BlackerHouse, where all the meals were hand-cooked by the freshmen under the leadership of the senior members. Evan is very low-key, just helping to do the work, washing the vegetables or something. In the process of preparing dinner together, the freshmen naturally chatted, and the registration number, registration place, and major are common operations. Evan found that there were no female students among the freshmen at all (note, Caltech only began admitting female undergraduates in 1970), and that people of color were in the minority, as were non-Californians. As a rough count, more than half of the freshmen are Californians.

The former Evan was not surprised at all, after all, this is the unique limitation of this era. But the latter surprised Evan a little – do American universities also give extra points to local students?

It was almost eight o'clock, stumbling and stumbling, and dinner was finally ready. Orville Caldwell, a fourth-year physics student in the Department of Physics, president of Blacker House, introduced the freshmen to Blacker's traditions and characteristics before dinner began. After the lecture, he invited many senior students to speak. This situation is somewhat like a club recruitment.

When Evan returned to his room at the end of the dinner, it was almost ten o'clock.

Evan's room is a rare single room, and the others are mostly double or even triple rooms.

Not long after returning to the dormitory, someone knocked on the door. Evan was lying on the bed and had to get out of bed and open the door.

"Hey, Evan, are you going to go to bed with a sleepy face?"

"It's you, William!" Evan looked at the man in front of him with tanned skin and a sunny smile on his face all year round, and his head ached.

His name is William Silves, he is from Honolulu, Hawaii, and he is studying civil engineering.

William was a self-cook, the two had only met while preparing dinner, and by the time it was time for dinner to start, he could already sit down with Evan without asking.

Evan scratched his hair with his right hand and closed the door with his left hand and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing...... William was a little taller than Evan, so he could look over Evan's shoulder, "Wow! You're a single room, can I go in and have a look?"

After saying that, before Evan refused, William squeezed in. He casually stroked the desk, looked out the window, and looked back at Evan with envy in his eyes.

Evan shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's just a week's luck." If you like single rooms, don't you want to apply in a week!"

William shook his head when he heard it and said, "Forget it, I'm too lonely to be alone, I won't be able to stand it." ”

"The more people there are, the more people are the ones who like to be lively!"

Then what do you mean by the look of a child who sees someone else with a lollipop in his hand but doesn't, do you fool me?

Evan resisted the desire to spray his saliva, wiped his palm on his face, and said expressionlessly, "Look, I'm tired......"

"Oh... Look at it!" William is not an idiot, naturally knows that Evan is very impatient now, and walks to the door with his feet raised in haha, "I'll go immediately!"

As he stepped out of the room with one foot, he suddenly stunted and turned around and asked, "Evan, do you want to take a cold shower before going to bed?" Speaking of which, I haven't been to the bathhouse yet?"

"No......" Evan was about to subconsciously refuse, when he suddenly felt the greasy on his body and changed his words: "You're right, you have to take a shower first!"

A few minutes later, Evan and William each walked into the public bathroom with a washbasin with toiletries.

Unbeknownst to them, a tall, thin man followed silently behind the two of them like a ghost.
