Chapter 203: Life Planning
The next day, Gege woke up from Lin Yi's arms at the first ray of sunlight through the window. Today is Fei'er and Lu Yichen's birthday, presumably everyone is acting separately, and Gege also has his own careful thoughts.
She pushed Lin Yi, who was still asleep next to her, and couldn't wait to wake him up. Lin Yi rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked in a daze, "Why is it so early?" "When he came back last night, he took a shower and found that Gege had fallen asleep sweetly, these little girls can be so high that their physical strength is exhausted no matter how they chat, Lin Yi is really convinced. So much so that he didn't even dare to use the hair dryer, for fear of noisy her, he wiped it with a towel for a long time and went to the balcony to blow the wind for a while before sleeping, and he obviously hadn't slept enough at this time.
As for Gege, coming to New York this summer really touched her a lot. Although she had a smooth journey in the past, in fact, if you think about it, she didn't have any clear plans for the future at all.
She is not as assertive as Lin Yi, and she has a clear plan for her future studies very early. If it weren't for Lin Yi, she wouldn't have chosen to come to the United States this summer to experience everything that has happened in the past month or so.
She is not like Fei'er, she has been determined to be a professional actor since she was a child, and she has been prepared for this in all aspects early;
She is not as bold as Sister Yue'er, she can walk so well in the workplace, you must know that it is not easy to gain a firm foothold in a metropolis like New York, let alone go to Yue'er's step?
Don't look at Lu Yichen's hanging son, he also has his own plans, and he will develop into a professional player in the future, which is also an arrangement visible to the naked eye.
If this trip to the United States has a great significance for Gege, it should be that it made her think seriously about her life, and she doesn't want to be a flower in a greenhouse anymore. If Sister Qing in China knew what she was thinking at the moment, she would really be moved to tears.
Gege saw that Lin Yi hadn't woken up yet, so he lay down again, and said silently to the ceiling: "Today I want to visit two places, one is Columbia University, the other is NYU, I have made an appointment in advance for a guided campus tour (guided tour of the campus), originally I thought that we would go abroad together after finishing my undergraduate, but I chatted with Fei'er last night to know that in fact, you don't necessarily have to finish your undergraduate, and it is feasible to transfer schools during this period." Of course, I haven't thought about it yet, but I just have such an idea, so I want to go with you to see it. β

Columbia University, officially known as Columbia University in the City of New York, is a world-class private research university located in Manhattan, New York, USA, one of the fourteen founding institutions of the Association of American Universities and one of the Ivy League universities.
Columbia University is one of the five oldest universities in the United States and one of the universities that has produced the most Nobel laureates. The campus of Columbia University also has five founding fathers of the United States, four American presidents such as *** and Roosevelt, 34 heads of state and government, and 10 justices of the United States Supreme Court.
Here, Nu Nu wants to give you an extremely valuable information for popular science, that is, many people thought that Sister Milk Tea was studying at Columbia, but in fact it was not, the program she exchanged was Barnard College.
Barnard College is a private women's liberal arts college in New York City, USA, one of the seven sister colleges (Seven Flowers of the College of Arts and Sciences), founded in 1889, it is located in Morning Heights, Manhattan, New York, covering an area of about 4 acres. The college became an affiliated college of Columbia University in 1900, and while Barnard College is one of the official colleges of Columbia University, Barnard College is completely independent both legally and financially, with its own faculty and board of trustees, and students will also have the words "Barnard College, Columbia University" on their graduation certificates.
Barnard College and Columbia University share teaching resources, and Columbia College, School of Engineering and Applied Science, School of General Studies, and Theological School (UTS&JTS) form Columbia's undergraduate system.
In other words, if your child wants to go to Columbia University in the future, but does not have the shortcomings to apply, he can apply to Barnard College to save the country. As mentioned above, the student's graduation certificate will state "Barnard College, Columbia University", but this means that you will only take courses at Barnard College.
In fact, Barnard is so closely related to Columbia that any Barnard student is free to take Columbia courses and have a full Columbia diploma as long as the required credits are met, in other words, the undergraduate application lowers the admission criteria but can eventually get both a Barnard degree and a Columbia degree.
Fatuma, the daughter of the late CCTV host Li Yong, posted Barnard's admission letter in March this year. Not many people really know about this route.

Hearing his little girlfriend's broken thoughts, Lin was tired again and again, and he was completely sleepy at this moment. He sat up, glanced at Gege beside him gently, rubbed her hair, and said, "Then what are you waiting for, let's go quickly." β
Lin Yi was very happy with the change, indeed during this time, he could feel that her whole person was more energetic tomorrow, and when Zhang Luo played ice hockey before, the momentum also shocked him, but he didn't expect her small body to have so much energy.
Frankly speaking, he was worried before, if he wanted to go abroad in the future, what if Gege didn't like it? The study abroad career is not as easy as many people who have not experienced it imagine, and the pressure is something that many people who have not experienced it can not understand and understand.
If Gege's future is inconsistent with his goals, how should he choose? Lin Yi didn't think about these problems, but fortunately, he didn't seem to be forced to make any choices, and the current Gege was obviously in a united front with him, since this was the case, of course he had to accompany her to experience these schools. The United States is a vast country, with very different styles from east to west, north and south, so you should really walk around and see where it suits them best before making a choice.
However, he was quite surprised that Gege actually made an appointment for a campus tour in advance, and not many people know about this service at American universities.
Although it is a pity that the summer vacation did not catch up with the students in class on weekdays, this kind of guided campus tour is still much better than aimless wandering, and not many people know about it, but in fact, almost all universities in the United States have this free service, as long as you book online in advance.
Campus guides are generally students, and they will take you to see the teachers, library, cafeteria, gymnasium, dormitory and other facilities, and there are many places that simple tourists are not allowed to enter. Since it is often the current students who lead the tour of the campus, it is also a good opportunity to communicate with the students. You can take the opportunity to ask a lot of questions and get the most intuitive feel for the charm of this school.
And some schools have special campus excursions for specific professional fields, such as Yale University's "Science Yale", where students of STEM majors (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) will take you on a tour of science facilities and focus on undergraduate research and science projects. UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) has a "Theatre, Film & Television" tour that takes art and media students on a tour of theaters, sound installations, television studios and costume stores. These are in addition to your regular campus itinerary and allow you to see the stories behind the different fields.
But these things that ordinary people don't know, this trip to the United States, Gege even upgraded the information search function, Lin Yi is really happy to see her grow!
