Walking on the wide roads of the campus, students ride bicycles by quickly, the sun shines through the tall plane trees, and a light breeze blows, you can smell the faint smell of books and the smell of youth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Why are they in such a hurry?" Song Lingyi pointed to the young students not far away, holding three or four thick books in her arms, and quickly rushed forward, looking not much different from those elites on Wall Street. Not only her, but also the students in sight, all of them were in a hurry.

"It's the time of the final exams. Lu Li smiled, he was really familiar with such a scene, just a few months ago, at the end of last semester, he was one of the most busy figures. "A lot of people just sit in a seat in the library for a long time and study all night. What you see now is probably just leaving the library and going to eat nearby, or going back to the dormitory to take care of yourself and avoid the smell of sweat affecting other people's studies. ”

"Are you like that too? It's time for the end of the semester. Lu Huaijin's eyes fell on the ivory brick-walled building in the distance, and it is true that everyone said that the United States is a country with no culture and no heritage, but they have preserved the culture and architecture of the past very well, which is worthy of recognition. Every building in sight has its own history and time.

Especially the strong learning atmosphere on the university campus made Lu Huaijin excited.

"Of course. Lu Li nodded, "I also have my own exclusive seat in the library, as well as a library friend who nodded my head." ”

Universities in China are difficult to get in and out of, so studying in high school is the hardest, but Western universities are easy to get in and out of, so studying in college is the most difficult and arduous. Students at top universities are committed to "study hard, party harder". So every year at the beginning of the school season, everyone has a crazy game, but when it comes to exam season, everyone is hanging over the beam.

"Nodding friends, library friends?" Song Lingyi was amused by this statement and couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, we don't know each other's names, but the time slots we go to the library are relatively similar, so when we meet and say goodbye, we all nod and say hello. Occasionally, if you meet in the bathroom, you will make small talk or two. Lu Li also remembered his college life, and he had already begun to miss it before he said goodbye.

Lu Huaijin stopped and saw the students bathed in the sun on the lawn next to him, there were four or five students sitting around, they were talking about philosophical issues, which was so rare that Lu Huaijin was eager to join in.

"Is this the case with other universities in the United States? Or is it the only place where this is the case?" Lu Huaijin pointed to the group of students, and the wind sent their dispute, "This kind of metaphysical empty shelf has no practical significance...... "The fierce argument is completely red-faced, and it looks like it is almost about to fight, it is really amazing."

looked in the direction of Lu Huaijin's finger, and then understood, "Of course not." This is only the case with top universities. New York University, where Lu Li studied, is one of the top universities in the United States, known as one of the 25 new Ivy League schools, and ranks within 30 in the world all year round.

Lu Huaijin was stunned, and then he understood that he was thinking about it, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Walking through the entire street, they suddenly stood at the intersection of Sixth Avenue, and Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi were directly stunned -- could it be that the campus of New York University is so small, and it is only two blocks? However, this is too fantastical!

Lu Li didn't notice, he came directly to the side of the crosswalk, ready to cross the street, and then saw his parents who were late, and immediately understood, "New York University does not have a campus campus, we often say that the whole of Manhattan is our campus." Just now, it's just that the school building is relatively close, so the atmosphere within two blocks is relatively strong. ”

"Then how do you get to and from class?" Lu Huaijin is still not used to this method, in his impression, any campus must have a specific range, even if there is no wall, there must always be a demarcated range...... Right?

"You just saw that. Before Lu Li's voice fell, someone on the opposite side rode a bicycle quickly, this is the answer, Lu Li's bicycle was sold to his roommate after the end of last year, to be honest, although he bought the Mustang before, but it wasn't until his senior year that the frequency of use increased, "If you're curious about where my school is, then look up and pay attention to the surroundings, basically the purple flag is hung from our university." On the night of the graduation ceremony, the Empire State Building is also lit up in purple, as a special signal for NYU. ”

Purple is the official color of New York University, and many graduates even highlight purple on their license plates, flags, clothing, etc., in order to show their origins, as a sign of their university alma mater.

Raising her head, Song Lingyi saw purple flags hanging on the guardrails next to the road, "Is that your school?"

Lu Li led them across the road and stretched out his right hand to introduce, "This is our library." ”

The dark red brick building in front of you is towering into the sky, with both historical weight and modern vitality, and it doesn't look like a special style, but people can notice it at a glance.

The library is located next to Washington Square, and it is the busiest time at noon, when many tourists are frolicking and resting in the square. Playing a grand piano, the painter who painted on the ground looked like a master and watched a crowd of people, a young man threw a board at random on the ground and jumped up, a tap dancer, and most obviously the street performer blowing bubbles, a large group of children who looked like tails, poking bubbles in the sky......

It's not Los Angeles, it's not Austin, it's Ranch on the Clouds, it's New York. New York in the real world.

At this moment, Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin finally got a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of the world's first capital.

"Are you sure?" Lu Li looked at the library nearby, "If we want to change our minds now, we still have countless options, a few blocks down here is Soho, there are countless delicious things, in the past in the East Village, find a small bar to sit down, listen to jazz music, and then drink a small glass of red wine, that is also a good choice, there are many restaurants worth trying nearby." The food in the cafeteria is not delicious. ”

"Don't you eat in the cafeteria a lot? I'd like to try it too. Song Lingyi raised her head curiously, walked into the library, all the words were suddenly stuck in her throat, the resplendent interior design in front of her had a typical modernist style, and mixed with some Egyptian retro art, the smooth and glorious light curtain was like a waterfall, without any light, unpretentious, but naturally there was a thrilling feeling.

"This is your library?" Lu Huaijin also felt shocked, "This is where you studied in college for four years?"

Lu Li nodded and replied in the affirmative, "Yes." "Anyone who enters the library for the first time can feel the grandeur and the shock of it, and he did the same at the beginning.

The walls of the inner courtyard of the library are all glass walls, you can clearly see the compartments and layout of each floor, and you can faintly see the stacked bookshelves inside.

"Are you sure you're not hungry?" Looking at the two people who were in shock, Lu Li had to open his mouth to remind.

NYU itself does not have a cafeteria, and their dormitories are scattered throughout Manhattan Island with different facilities, some with cafeterias, some with gyms, and some closer to the dormitories. Mainly because NYU doesn't have its own specific campus, and Manhattan Island has such a variety of restaurants and food, so there is no need to worry.

However, people who "live" in the library still need to eat, so it is possible to eat on the first basement floor of the library. But relatively speaking, the food in the so-called canteen is not much cheaper, and the most important thing is convenience. For students during exam season, the distance from the first basement floor can save a lot of time.

Under the leadership of Lu Li, the three of them came to the first basement floor, and immediately saw the spacious dining room, at this time, many students were eating-and many parents, it can be seen that many people came to attend the graduation ceremony, and they all made the same requirements as Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin.

"What are those conference rooms inside?" Lu Huaijin glanced at the glass cubicle inside, and could vaguely see that there were TVs, whiteboards, and conference tables inside.

"Oh, that's the room for the group discussion. Lu Li didn't need to look back to know, "Most of the topics in the school are group projects, if necessary, you can make an appointment in advance, and then lock the door of the room, and it doesn't matter if you talk about it inside." ”

Lu Li didn't urge, looking at Lu Huaijin with a curious face, "If you want to take a look, you can go over." However, we didn't have an appointment, so we couldn't go in. "It's the time of the final exams, the peak of the group discussions, and it is estimated that there are no empty rooms.

"I'll go over and take a look, do you want to be together?" Lu Huaijin looked at Song Lingyi and asked.

Song Lingyi was a little hesitant, Lu Li knew that her mother was still a little curious, "Go and have a look, I'll line up here to order." Is there anything you'd like to eat, or should I order some of the 'special' dishes?"

"You order. Song Lingyi didn't notice the playful smile on the corner of her son's mouth, nodded and gave an affirmative answer, and then followed Lu Huaijin towards the front.
