Chapter 003: Living in a Harvard University dormitory
Harvard University is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the reason why the school is famous all over the world is because of its graduates.
Today you are proud of the school, tomorrow the school will be proud of you.
Eight U.S. presidents, 133 Nobel laureates, 18 Fields Medal winners, 11 Turing Award winners, and so on, speak for themselves. (Note 1)
"I'm a student at this school now?"
Wen Ming, who walked down from the public transportation, said in his heart that it was false if he was not excited, let alone becoming a student at Harvard University, even if he traveled abroad in his previous life, it was a luxury.
Of course, traveling in China is also a burden for him.
Following his ID information, Wen Ming began to look for his dormitory.
As a first-year student at Harvard University, Wen Ming's dormitory is a two-bedroom apartment with two students in each bedroom, and a common living room and bathroom, which is almost the standard for freshmen at Harvard University.
If you can go to the senior year, or become a graduate student at Harvard University, the accommodation will be better.
"Look at this picture...... It should be around here! ”
Wen Ming held the mobile phone and kept looking at the photo album in the mobile phone. The current time is 2009, and although the mobile phone in 2009 is far inferior to the mobile phone when Wenming traveled, the functions of shooting and even video have already been realized.
There is no Apple in this world, but Nokia, which can smash walnuts, still exists, and even like the previous life, it can be said to dominate the global mobile phone market.
Of course, as a local brand of the United States, the popularity of BlackBerry in the American market is by no means weaker than that of Nokia.
The mobile phone that Wen Ming is using now is a BlackBerry full-keyboard mobile phone, and the photo album he is looking at now is the real Wen Ming took with this mobile phone.
got Wen Ming's identity, and naturally also got some of Wen Ming's personal belongings, in addition to Harvard University student information documents, as well as clothes and other items, Wen Ming even found a special cup, the prefix of the name of this cup is airplane.
"Doesn't that mean that Americans are very open? Why is it necessary to use such a cup in such an open country? ”
Wen Ming threw away the cup at that time, not that he didn't need to solve his personal physiological problems, but that he felt a little disgusting to use that cup.
There's nothing wrong with the cup itself, but if it's been used by someone else......
"This is it!"
Wen Ming looked up at the building in front of him, the architectural style is very in line with the quiet atmosphere of Harvard University, and the early European-style architecture is still not backward now. Although many Americans believe that this is an American-style building, where did the United States come from?
With the help of his student ID information and some photos on his mobile phone, Wen Ming found his dormitory and opened the dormitory door with a bunch of keys in his backpack.
After entering the dormitory, there is a somewhat narrow living room, although the accommodation environment of Harvard University is good, but after all, it is a student dormitory.
After removing the key that could open the dormitory door, Wen Ming threw the key directly into the trash can in the living room.
His home is gone, the house has been recycled by the bank, everything such as furniture and appliances has been sealed by the bank, and he can only go back to collect some personal belongings that have no 'value' for other people.
For example, his photo, his parents, some commemorative items, etc.
But after all, he is not from this world, and he has no feelings for his parents in this capacity, so those items are of little value to him.
"They all say it's good in the United States, but if you don't have money, if you go bankrupt, then you will know what it means to turn heaven into hell."
Wen Ming opened one door, and after scanning it twice, he didn't find anything related to him, so he opened another door.
There are two beds in this room, one of which has a picture of Wen Ming on the bedside table. It was a family photo, although there were only three people, but it was indeed a family with Wen Ming's identity.
After confirming his bed, Wen Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
He only has a 'huge amount of money' of 30,000 US dollars, and food, clothing, housing and transportation are actually a problem, and the dormitory at Harvard University is obviously his temporary safe haven.
"I'm a junior college student, I definitely can't pass the exam at Harvard, I heard that 20% of students at Harvard University every year because they fail the exam, or they don't have enough credits and take a leave of absence, so how long do I have to live here?"
Wen Ming was lying on his bed, thinking about his future, and at the same time, he was using his mobile phone to check some information about Harvard University.
In 2009, the 3G technology in the United States has completed the maturity, and the 4G technology has been opened by the company. Of course, Americans are not described as 2G, 3G, 4G.
Although the speed of using a mobile phone to access the Internet is not as fast as in the previous life, it can also meet Wenming's browsing needs.
"It's winter break, and there's a week left before school starts."
The holidays at Harvard University, or American universities, are different from those in China, with winter breaks lasting only about 20 days, and vacations similar to summer vacations are longer than those in China.
The former owner of Wen Ming's identity should have gone to spend Christmas vacation with his parents during winter vacation, and then suffered a disaster.
In other words, my status as a first-year freshman at Harvard University can be used for about half a year. At the end of the semester, there must be exams, or credits. ”
After Wen Ming checked the relevant information, he learned that Harvard University was actually not as strict as he had heard before, and the annual suspension and withdrawal rate of 20% was also a very exaggerated statement. In fact, based on the posts Wen Ming saw on some of Harvard's campus forums, he was able to determine one thing.
Harvard students also don't like to do homework, skip classes, and sleep during class. Perhaps, this is the common characteristic of college students.
In other words, even if he didn't take the exam and didn't take credits, he would be persuaded to quit half a year later.
"Half a year, that's enough!"
Wen Ming lay on the bed and thought for an hour or two, then suddenly jumped up from the bed.
If he has a place to settle down for half a year, and he doesn't need to worry about exams and credits, what he needs to do now is to experiment with the extremely impressive code in his mind, as well as other 'knowledge' that appears in his memory along with that code!
"But now the question is, I don't have a computer, and as a college student, I don't even have a computer?"
