8 s5 V* V9 T* R- Q* O 初到美国
2 @- w( C" ^0 E$ f8 R/ | 一般说来,新到的留学生必须在真正开课的前一周内到系里报道,这是系里有个international advisor将给你关于选课,选专业住宿等方面的指导,并且递给你一大摞学习生活方面的介绍的资料,甚至一张本校的地图。然后让你参加一个由international students office举行的international students orientation,内容都是关于美国大学的生活指导,如留学生在入学后的9个月内不能在校外打工,收入要上税等,还有关于枪支泛滥,大学生活的安全等问题。
6 K+ Q# h# h5 z! h# Q: k 关于注册(registration)6 A( R1 `! o- V( r
美国大学新生和学期前都要自己选课(或系里的advisor指导选课),然后将选好的课表在规定的时 间里(通常是一周内)自己拿到registration office去register。由于全校的学生都集中在这段时 间里注册,所以通常人都很多,排队便是常有的事。注册的程序这点和国内的大学很不一样,国内大学的做法通常是到系里去注册,而且没有选课的自由(除了极少的选修课外)。
9 ]! i$ [% g+ V$ B1 }5 t* ~ 关于住宿住
+ z- z! x2 ~3 J4 q' Y' q/ } 宿方面美国大学里大都有宿舍(dormitory)和公寓(apartment)两种:dormitory离教学楼较近,不用坐车,步行即可。Dormitory一般收费较贵,是给新生(new international graduate student)和大一(freshman)住的,一般两人或三个人同住,屋里每人一部电话和一条internet接口,有暖气或空调,但没有厨房,但每一层楼有一个公用厨房。一般住在dormitory的学生有一个meal plan,即在学校的dinning hall自助就餐,每个月支付一定的餐费。而apartment离教学楼较远,分布在学校的四周。住在apartment的学生一般自己开车或乘坐学校的免费公共汽车(shuttle)去上课。但apartment有它吸引人的地方,apartment是典型的美国小洋房,两层建筑,四周是草地,绿化特好,而且每人都有停车位;而且室内也不错,apartment有1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom, 4-bedroom等四种。每人一个bedroom,都在二楼,一楼有个大厨房,卫生间和客厅。厨房虽然是公用的,但有很多个炉口,可以同时使用,大家互不影响。客厅较大,很多周末同学朋友聚会都在这里举行。Apartment离校区较远,比较自由,而且通常比dormitory便宜,很受欢迎。但apartment是共享制的(share),即如果有某个partner在某个share期后搬出,其他的partners要自己寻找一个partner来补缺,不然就要share这个vacancy的费用。当然还有些同学住在校外(off-campus apartment),这就离学校更远了,一定要有一部车。虽然美国的轿车很便宜,甚至1000美元就能买一辆不错的车,但新到的留学生人生地不熟,很多国家的driver license在美国不适用,所以大部分新生前三个月都住在dormitory.以后才考虑搬进apartment. |
