Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei, who got up the next day, were like a small episode that had not happened in their lives, and they entered the atmosphere of the city with great interest. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Armed with water bottles, backpacks, loose change and city maps, they plunged headlong into the bustling city.

The sky here does not see the sun because they have been obscured by dense buildings, and the people here do not have a smile on their faces, because the America of '02 is full of depression.

But the city is still full of its own beauty, because of the green parks everywhere, because of the free museums that are open to the public.

Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei drove all the way from south to north, taking in the entire island of Manhattan, where there is the financial district of Lower Manhattan, the home of the New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank.

There's the Lower East Side's Chinatown, where you'll feel like you're back at home and won't feel lonely anymore.

There's New York University here, which doesn't even have a campus wall, and if you don't mention it, people don't ask, and you think it's just a few ordinary buildings.

Naturally, a dozen theaters on one street will converge around Broadway, and the lavish Chelsea and the solemn New York Supreme Court will naturally move forward.

Naturally, their heads are full of the smell of old-fashioned money, and the drunken and serious orthodoxy of the Upper East Side represent the style of the older generation of wealthy districts.

In order to escape the repression of conservatism, those young lawyers and doctors found their own paradise, but only a bridge away, they would escape the hustle and bustle of Manhattan and come to their own quiet harbor.

This slightly remote Long Island has naturally become their preferred home because of its beautiful environment.

The air here is humid, the sky here is blue, and the housing prices here are hehehe....

The days always fly by in a small leisurely time, and before Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei have time to visit every free museum in the city, the admission date of the new school is approaching.

…..

The first rays of the morning sun fell on the Upper West area of Manhattan, far from the hustle and bustle of the city center and the high-rise buildings that followed it, and it was just a leisurely stroll to Columbia University Square.

The lion statue standing there is a symbol of Columbia, and at this time it is also quietly shrouded in mischievous light, just like the king who is truly bathed in holy light, is so majestic and unruly.

The Butler Library, which is similar to the architectural style of ancient Rome in the central square of the school, finally showed her dignified face, looking at the Roche who was close to the end of the world, but could not get together.

Roche, who is also a library, has European elegance, and is a bright light in her loneliness, which can be seen from afar to tell her heart.

The bustling returning students have long been integrated into the school where they have lived and studied for many years, but what has attracted attention is more fresh faces from all directions.

In this central square, at the entrance of the main teaching buildings, you can see the orientation club activities and the interest groups of the people.

Although Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei didn't bring any extra luggage, because of their curiosity and unfamiliarity with the campus, which was obviously different from the old students, there would naturally be volunteers who were in charge to come forward to help.

John was a very enthusiastic young man, he was enthusiastic and cheerful, lively and studious, and he was a direct student from Columbia, not to mention that he also had a pair of natural solemn appearance and deep and charming blue eyes that are typical of Washingtonians.

This makes him both active and endearing in school, and he can be regarded as a man of the year in the sports world, who makes his basketball also play wonderful.

John, who was dressed in a green volunteer uniform, saw at a glance the combination of Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei who were about to walk in the square, and this look was an international student from Asia.

John thought about how his campaign supporters really didn't have an Asian group, and it was the right step to volunteer.

Thinking of this, John ran over very enthusiastically and greeted the two inconspicuously dressed classmates: "Freshmen have registered? ”

"Well, she's in the civil engineering department, and I'm in the economics department."

"Oh, the academy is different, but the introduction of the infrastructure is all put together, I will take you to sign up first, and then I will take you to visit after completing the formalities."

Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei glanced at each other, okay, it is really a top college in the United States, although the aesthetic level of this volunteer is a little problematic, but the person looks very good.

"Let's go to the beautiful lady's college to sign up first, as for you, we are classmates, so you naturally don't have to worry."

As the top and most popular four subjects at Columbia University, journalism, law, finance, and architecture, have the lowest admission rate of all schools, and they are also the most competitive, with an acceptance rate of 8%, keeping a large number of students out.

As soon as John heard that these two classmates had been admitted to the top four subjects of Columbia University together, he directly reined in his inner contempt for international students.

In the process of signing up, through small talk, John found out that these two were from China, and this mood was retracted.

About 7,000 new students join Columbia every year, which accounts for two-sevenths of Columbia's freshmen.

As China, a mysterious country, opens its arms to the world, the percentage of international students at Columbia University is increasing, reaching 30% this year.

What does this mean? This means that there will be one Chinese student for every 24 new students in the school, which is a large group, so how much advantage will I have if I can win the favor of my Chinese classmates in a small-scale organizational election.

Thinking of this, John was even more enthusiastic, and took Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei, who had finished registering, to visit the school.

What is the best facility at Columbia? That's all the facilities are good.

Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei suddenly felt a familiar taste through the introduction of this enthusiastic child.

How to say it, although the cultural differences between the East and the West are different, the feeling and taste of people are similar, and John is a bit like Ye Dong, but it is not the same.

He is more free and easy than Ye Dong, less heavy, this kid really loves politics, not Ye Dong's official physique.

It seems that this person can intersect, thinking of this, Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei exchanged glances with each other, and quickly immersed themselves in the environment and atmosphere of Columbia University.

To be honest, if we ignore the rustic atmosphere of green clothes everywhere, we can completely treat the current Columbia University as a sea of singing and dancing. (To be continued.) )
