就读体验
1学术:学校有丰富的资源,帮助学生在课堂和专业方面都变得有远见。教师们通常都有空愿意帮助学生。学生往往都聚集成小组,这样学习有热情也能相互帮助。我们可以选择的课程范围非常广,所以再拿不定主意的学生都能找到他感兴趣的课程!  
2多样性:这里的人们都能真正接纳其他人。没有很多歧视,至少我没有看到很多。学校的人一般都很包容,心态开放。对于学生群体的特征,真的是可以用多样性来形容他们。 
3体育:学校对体育很重视,但也并不是日常生活中特别重要的部分。学生经常组成体育代表队参赛,大家都很支持他们,学校的体育精神超赞! 
4校园饮食:有四个很容易找到的地方可以吃饭:市场、咖啡厅、Sadler中心和Wawa。这些地方都还行,只是有点旧了。到很晚的时候,必须得去Wawa。或者可以点Dominoes的外卖。 
5安全:我感觉非常安全,也没有听说过什么犯罪。我的室友觉得有人拿走了他的电脑,但是后来却发现是他自己落在图书馆了。更惊讶的是,他过了6个小时才去图书馆把电脑拿回来。 
6学校管理:威廉玛丽的学生可以娱乐起来!学校只会对一些学术犯罪的学生进行惩罚,比如作弊。或者是偷了别人的自行车或者笔记本电脑。惩罚非常严重,但不严重也不好,因为这样创造了一个良好的环境,学生都会相互信任,并不担心受骗。 
7交通:除了要去很远的地方之外,通常我只乘坐公交出行。公交范围很广,学生可免费乘坐,到达城内的绝大多数地方。如果要出城,交通站走着也可以到,有Greyhound、Amtrak和公交车可以乘坐。 
8当地概况:威廉玛丽和古镇威廉斯堡挨着,那儿不仅有很多美味的食物,也是另一种接触和了解美国历史的独特方式。真的很安全,每个人都非常好。

就读体验

1 地理位置:学校位于亚特兰大Midtown的西边,可口可乐总部和学校南部只相隔一条街,因此企业气氛浓厚。东部商学院所在地Tech Square也聚集了很多公司的创新园地,诸如AT&T,Delta, Home Depot等。ATM取款机的制造商NCR也正在Tech Square的北面建设总部。

2 学术氛围:GIT,你能遇到有着各种各样兴趣和目标的人。这是一个有着无限可能,并且你可以追求自己理想的校园。该校的理工氛围相当浓厚,本科工程学院人口占全校的60%,计算机单独成立一个学院,本科人口占据14%左右。Engineer Pride在学校是主流,很多和工程师相关的梗和笑点都印在了各种T-Shirt上。

3 体育和文化:GIT的健身氛围很浓厚,Campus Recreation Center是1996年奥运会跳水和游泳比赛场馆,下午3点经常爆满。多中国留学生会组队打篮球,也有羽毛球和乒乓球比赛。亚特兰大作为新兴的娱乐和电影业中心,近年来吸引了很多电影和电视剧拍摄。橄榄球是佐治亚理工很大的体育活动。在佐治亚理工和佐治亚大学举行比赛的时候,几乎人人都沉浸在比赛的氛围中!

4校园饮食:校园餐厅最好的是关于他们的疯狂时刻:一年中的大部分时候,北Ave餐厅会一直开放到凌晨2点。一直学习到最后几分钟后,再来一杯温暖的咖啡,这感觉真是棒极了。餐厅工作人员也都很好,在期末考试前的周末餐厅有24小时食物供应。

5健康安全:有犯罪现象,但是学校是在很大的市区里。多数犯罪现象是发生在校外,但是只要是在范围内的,学校都会给学生通报。而且,犯罪通常是学生自身的原因引起的——没有采取预警的措施,比如没有多留心,没采取有效的安全措施。有一个增强安全的安保措施,在任何时候,如果已经很晚了,佐治亚理工的校警都会把学生护送到目的地。学校也有班车系统,早六点到晚六点都在运营,可以从Stingerette (个人小巴接送服务)到校内的任何地方。

The school is divided between an Uptown campus, its main location, and a Downtown campus, the center for health science programs. The French Quarter, about four miles from the main campus, is a popular tourist spot known for its music scene, nightlife and shopping. Freshmen and sophomores must live on campus, unless a student lives locally with parents, is married or is older than 21. There are more than 200 student organizations on campus, including about 20 sororities and fraternities. About a quarter of students are involved in the Greek system. The Tulane Green Wave sports teams compete in the Division I American Athletic Conference, and the school’s colors are olive green and blue. Through Tulane After Dark, students can choose from a variety of evening activities such as concerts, comedy shows and murder mystery parties. Since Hurricane Katrina, hundreds of students a year have volunteered in community service efforts to rebuild the city.

The school has a well-regarded law school, and its School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine is the only specialty school of its kind in the United States.

就读体验

1学术氛围:金融专业是很受追捧的专业,有很多可以选择的课程。很多金融方面的课程是所有商学院专业的必修课。商学院的教学设施很棒,有一个模拟室。商学院的基础实力雄厚,有比学校其他任何专业的学生都多。杜兰大学很大程度上把重点都放在了商科上面,他们经常邀请一些演说家来,也会召开一些招聘会等等这样的事情。我们也有庞大的校友圈。如果你学的是商科专业,那你得通过商学院到国外进修,对比别的专业来说会觉得厌烦,没有太多的可去的地方,比如说艺术专业,但是他们每年的人数还是在增加。

2多样性:杜兰大学缺少种族多样性,但由其他方面弥补了。我们是全国最具有地域多样性的学校了,有很多国际生。宗教信仰方面也有很好的多样性,虽然大多数学生不是犹太人就是基督徒。杜兰大学是个很自由的学校,但是还是有一些保守派存在的。

3体育:体育是校园生活很重要的一部分。橄榄球比赛是一年中非常重要的赛事活动了,每个人都会某种程度上参与其中。这些比赛中体现的校风都非常高涨。很多学生都会一定程度上参与校内体育活动。

4校园饮食:很多学生会去吃Bruff那里的食物;对于一般学校的餐饮标准来说,那里是食物相当不错了。除此之外,学生们还有很多其他的选择。

5校园住宿:很漂亮的校园,拥有各种各样的设施(体育馆,一个室内和室外的游泳池,很多的方院,一个自助餐厅,一个健康食物市场,一个每夜都通宵营业的餐馆,等等),还有,每个教室到任何宿舍都只有10分钟步行的距离。很好的地面。Monroe是最好的大一新生宿舍,很有生活气息。Butler或许是最糟糕的宿舍了。每年挑选宿舍的手续有点像小巡演,但是最终都会有结果的。

6交通:杜兰大学的校车有时候有点慢,但是它能带你去任何地方——商业区,住宅区,沃尔玛购物中心,标靶中心,新视角商城,湖边商城,美食大全,鲜货商城,国际市场等等.有轨电车很慢,有时也打不上车。NORTA可以每15分钟跑一班车。但可真是个大瞎话。巴士要比有轨电车快一些,但也别指望它们会准时。

1学术氛围:UIUC以工程为金字招牌,所有和工程有关的专业都是全美甚至是全世界顶尖的。比如UIUC最好的专业是土木工程,全美第一也是全世界第一,从校园内的建筑便可见一斑。其次,与计算机、化学、数学沾边的学科,UIUC都非常出色,计算机是美国前5,化学、应用数学、电子工程、工业工程、航天工程、环境工程等等都是美国前10,农业、营养学也都是非常热门的学科。值得一提的是,工程院也是UIUC最富裕的学院,苹果捐过电脑,AMD捐过大楼,还建有美国最大的超级计算机。Internet起源于此,网景(Netscape)是UIUC人编的,YouTube是UIUC毕业生的成果。

2多样性:学校国际生比较多,开放多样的环境为话题的讨论提供了很多不同的视角,帮助学生变得更加开放包容。

3体育:UIUC的学生和校友都拥有很好的校风传统,大家都很以学校取得的成绩为荣。我住的宿舍和橄榄球场很近,每到比赛日,停车场就到处都是兴奋的球迷,聚集在一起为校队呐喊助威。体育设施也都是一流的,并且全年免费为学生开放。

4饮食:校园食物十分丰富。如果你住校的话,你在任何一个餐厅吃饭都可以用饭卡,所有的食堂提供的食品也都不一样。PAR的食物全校最佳,IKE的种类最多。需要说明的是,Busey那里你能得到免费咖啡,那里也有最美味的饼干提供。

5校园住宿:校园住宿的好坏很多还是取决于你自己。有很多宿舍可以算得上是“聚会天地”各种喧嚣,也有其他一些相对很安静的宿舍。也有很多特殊的房间,比如为荣誉课程准备的学生,或者为那些有共同兴趣爱好的人准备的房间。

6交通:UIUC的交通从来都不是问题,ID卡可以让你做所有的MTD巴士,带你去学校的任何地方,也可以到达校外的一些很受欢迎的地方,比如购物中心,沃尔玛电影院等等。很多人有车,可以很方便的就去一些地方。当然很多学生选择步行或是骑车去上课。UIUC是一个流行骑车的校园,校园里有很多自行车停放处和行车道。
