Volume 1 That Glimmer Chapter 32 The Academy
The female staff member led everyone to the passage facing the gate of the college, the passage was spacious and neat, flanked by green dwarf trees, about every ten meters, there would be a white sculpture standing in the forest, there were characters from mythological stories, angels, and some imitations of world-famous sculptures, all lifelike, delicate and elegant.
As the staff walked, they explained: "Augustus College covers an area of about 750 acres, plus this year's freshmen, there are more than 2,100 people in the whole school, including more than 400 people in the first year, that is, you, more than 400 people in the second year, more than 700 people in the third and fourth years, called the senior grades, and more than 300 people in the college. ”
Gu Xiaoshi walked and listened, 750 acres is about equivalent to more than 3 million square meters, this area is really not small, compared to many universities in China, the big is not a star and a half, but such a large college, the number of people is very small. Generally speaking, in China, the number of universities is generally more than 5,000, less than 10,000 people are considered small colleges, 10,000 to 30,000 are called medium-sized universities, and more than 30,000 are large comprehensive universities. This Augustus College has only 2,000 students, and I don't know what type of university it will be counted as in China?
While talking, a passage of nearly 100 meters was completed, and a stone bridge appeared in front of him, and when he came to the bridge, the staff motioned for everyone to stop, only to hear her say: "Please look to the left." ”
Gu Xiaoshi looked to the left, the artificial lake he saw just now jumped into view, it turned out that the lake was not independent, the lake slowly flowed across the stone bridge, to the right, on the opposite bank of the lake, is the apron and the big warehouse, there are staff in the maintenance of the small plane, the fuselage of the small plane has words, but the distance is too far to see clearly.
I heard the staff say: "The lake on the left is an artificial lake, the water source comes from the ground, you can see a trace of white gas floating above, I am here to tell you, this is not a hot spring, but the water temperature is slightly higher than the normal, you can try it if you have the opportunity, but it is strictly forbidden to swim in the water." Also, we call this lake Lake No. 1, and there are four such artificial lakes in the college. ”
"Wow. Everyone sighed that it is not uncommon for universities to have ponds, but there are very few lakes, and it is estimated that there are only four lakes.
She added, "Please look to the right." ”
On the right is a lake, but a little smaller, and in the distance there is a row of buildings, the largest of which resembles a stadium.
"From the college gate to the right, you can get to the activity area, and as you can see, the larger one is the college stadium, which includes a standard football field and athletics facilities such as running tracks and bunkers. Next to the stadium, there are two swimming pools, one is an open-air swimming pool with room temperature and the other is a covered swimming pool. As we continue to look along the pool, there are two buildings, a basketball hall with two standard basketball courts and spectator seating, and a tennis area with four standard tennis courts, two of which have spectator seating. These sports facilities, which were built by the college to enrich students' spare time, are completely free to use, but reservations are required. ”
It is estimated that only those large famous schools will have such complete sports facilities, the most surprising thing for him is the constant temperature swimming pool, free to use, which is uncommon, there are similar constant temperature swimming pools in the mountain city, people can also enjoy the fun of water in the winter, but the ticket price, naturally not low, and there are surprisingly many people, like dumplings.
The stone bridge is not long, it is only about ten meters, standing on the bridge, facing the gate of the college, facing the front, you can see a huge square, there is also a sculpture in the center of the square, the left front of the square, you can see the third lake, and around the lake, there are buildings, are not very high, I don't know what it is used for.
Under the leadership of the staff, everyone came to the square. The square is paved with an unknown large stone slab, there are exquisite lines on it, the area is really not small, Gu Xiaoshi feels that 10,000 people are standing here in a square line, it is not too crowded. In the center of the square is a humanoid statue with a face and expression similar to that outside the gate, which is also supposed to be erected in honor of Octavian. However, there is a slight difference in the fact that this Octavian is not dressed in armor, but is draped in a robe, with his right hand holding the foot of the robe and his left pointing into the distance.
"This is the central square of the college, as you can see, there are passages on the left and right, on the left you can go to the senior teaching building, training hall and college staff dormitory, and on the right you can go to the student activity area, the junior teaching building and the student dormitory area, but we will not turn for the time being, and continue to move forward. ”
Passing through the central square, there is another stone bridge, the lake flows from the foot, behind the stone bridge is a long road, on the left is the lake called No. 3, on the right is full of flowers, you can smell the fresh fragrance of flowers, everywhere is the ancient stone does not know the vegetation, the paths shuttle between them, occasionally you can see some tall trees dotted around, bursts of birdsong from the top of the tree, people feel like they are in nature, "This is not like a university, but like a park." Gu Xiaoshi thought in his heart.
At the end of the long road, there is a stone bridge, from which the water of Lake No. 3 flows to the last lake, Lake No. 4. Lake No. 4 is located on the right side of the stone bridge, compared to the previous three, obviously this lake is much smaller, on the other side of the lake, you can see a long row of buildings, almost the largest building in the college, a total of five floors, it should be a student dormitory, right?
The female worker asked everyone to stay on the bridge and said, "That's right, on the right is Lake No. 4, which is half the size of Lake No. 1, and on the other side of the lake is the student dormitory, and you can see the long row of buildings. Here to tell you, this is not the original dormitory building of the college, there were only two floors before, the number of students in the back is increasing, the accommodation is tight, thirty years ago, it was demolished and rebuilt, built in accordance with the previous style, the exterior wall looks a little old, don't worry at all, you will know when you enter later. ”
"Please look to the left, the huge building in the distance in front of the left is the research building of the college, and the small building near it is used for students to study after graduation, that is, the master's building, including the doctorate. ”
"Please note that the building in front of us is the main teaching building of the college, maybe you will come here often in the future, and then you will appreciate it slowly, please continue to follow me now." ”
The hall of the main teaching building is transparent and has no doors, and through the hall, a domed building appears in front of everyone.
"This is the auditorium of the college, which can also be called a lecture hall, and many of the classes in the first year are open classes and will be held here. ”
In front of the auditorium, from here, the road becomes a T-shape, and the front is not far from the main gate of the auditorium, and there is a passage on the left and right. Looking to the left, you can see the whole picture of the scientific research building, which is not a standard cuboid, but two rows of buildings connected together, at a 90-degree right angle, divided into two wings.
The crowd followed the staff to the right, and there was also a large building next to the auditorium.
"This is the college's library, so you can go in and look up the materials, but keep in mind that you have to use a student card to enter and borrow books. ”
This library is so big, a two-story quaint building, estimated to be at least 100 meters long, if not more. Along the library all the way to the right, Gu Xiaoshi felt that the group should have come to the northeast of the college, only to see the staff pointing to a building at the end and said: "There is a restaurant, please note that the restaurant is not open all day long, breakfast is served from 6 to 8 o'clock, lunch is from 11:30 to 13:30, it will continue to be open in the afternoon, afternoon tea will be provided, and dinner will be from 17:30 to 20:30, which is slightly longer." The restaurant department offers an à la carte service for any time, late at night or early in the morning, but an additional fee must be paid and the person who orders the food is at his own expense. The three meals a day provided by the college are buffets, including a variety of dishes, and you will definitely be able to find your favorite in it. In particular, we remind everyone that when entering the restaurant to dine, you must bring your student card, and you can only enter after each swipe of the card. ”
Gu Xiaoshi noticed that along the way, except for the student activity area that I saw at the beginning, the buildings were modern styles, and the rest were all medieval European architectural styles, most of which had Gothic domes, antique and beautiful, and even some walls were covered with vines, which had a unique flavor. The whole college is deserted, occasionally I can see students walking around, with a curious expression, it seems that it is also a new student, it should have been registered yesterday, this afternoon is the deadline for new students to register, the return date of the old students is tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, it should be more lively, right?
All the way to the end and final destination – the student dormitory. This dormitory building, similar to a library, is long in shape and extends for a long time. The entrance is facing Lake No. 4, and behind it is a long tall white wall, beyond the wall, it should be the big lake, right?
"Well, this is the dormitory building of the college, from the entrance is the hall, there is only one hall in the whole building, the first floor is the storage room and the automatic laundry room, the student's room starts from the second floor, the mantissa number is even on the inside, you can see Lake No. 4, the singular number is on the outside, you can enjoy the natural lake view. Please note that the girls' dormitory goes upstairs from the left side of the hall and the boys are on the right. I'm sending you all here today, I hope you enjoy the college, thank you all, and I wish you all the best!"
The crowd applauded and thanked them, and went their separate ways to find their dormitories. Gu Xiaoshi was carrying a backpack and stood outside the hall downstairs, this dormitory building also looked a little old. The first floor is inhabited. Many places abroad are different from those in China, the first floor of Shenzhou, that is, the first floor on the ground, and foreign countries like to call this first floor the G floor, Gu Xiaoshi and Asu's bedroom is No. 119, that is, somewhere outside the second floor, don't worry about bad lighting. The hall is large, spacious and bright, with a long row of sofas on either side for resting. The hall is not in the middle of the dormitory, and the boys' building on the right extends longer than the girls' building on the left, and it is obvious that there are many more dormitories.
