Three hundred and ninetieth chapters Yale's sturdy atmosphere
"Hey, Carter, Rick, what classes are you two going to take?"
Since the residential college system and the course selection system were mentioned, and the allocation of residential colleges was not decided by the students themselves, Hadwin and others naturally asked about the course selection tendencies of the two freshmen, Carter and Rick.
“Professor Held Dutra’s political economics courses, Professor Nabil Wells’s European history studies, and Professor Corey Dugalte’s biophysics and biochemistry courses have all been very popular in recent years.
courses. If you are interested, you must prepare in advance and grab the class as soon as possible!"

Taking another sip of beef tenderloin noodles, Hadwin turned his attention to Hills:
"Darlene, didn't you help in the Academic Affairs Office before? Can you find a way to make a copy of the course selection statistics table to give them a reference?"
"I'm not sure about this. I have to ask Professor Creighton if he can let me make a copy."
Looking at each other with Rick, Carter couldn't help but feel speechless at the generous behavior of these senior brothers and sisters, but they were also a little touched. Maybe it's their nature, or maybe it's in this era without mobile phones.
, their energy has nowhere to vent...
But no matter what, their enthusiasm still subtly infected the two of Carter. At this time, hearing that Hills was a little embarrassed, Carter said quickly:
"It's okay, thank you! Rick and I will go back and listen first. There are still two weeks until class selection! There is no need to rush at this time..."
Just as Carter was talking, a middle-aged man walked in from the door of the restaurant. When their eyes met, Carter noticed that the man's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he walked straight towards the table where six of him were sitting.
"Hey, Rick! I haven't seen you in a few years, and you're already so old?!"
"Uncle Dyson..."
Rick's reaction was a bit embarrassing, especially after seeing the slightly surprised expression on the opposite side of Hills...
"How's it going? Did the report go well today? Ah, look at me... I'm too busy. If it hadn't gone well, you wouldn't be here... Look at how our Davenport is doing? Come to me next year
How about here?"
Patting Rick's shoulder affectionately, the middle-aged man nodded to Carter and others one by one.
"I will listen to the school's arrangements regarding this branch. Uncle Dyson, how about we go nearby to chat?"
"Forget it, I won't disturb you anymore...You young people have a good time together. I'm very happy to see that you can make new friends on the first day of school. This is good!"
As if he was just an acquaintance who came to say hello, after the middle-aged man named Dyson said this, he said goodbye and left Carter's dining table. Hearing the words from Hills and others: "Rick?! You
"How do you know our provost Davenport?" Carter suddenly felt a little strange...
If I saw it right just now, the guy named Dyson's eyes stayed on him obviously longer than others...
"No... I... I also have Yale graduates in my family, so I went to Yale a few times when I was a kid, and we met at that time."
"Ohhh! Look, there is actually a second-generation Yale student here, my God! Then you should know Yale better than we do, but we thought you were unfamiliar with it. It turns out we are just being sentimental!"
"No, no, that happened a long time ago. I really need your introduction to what Yale is like now!"
After a short interlude, several people finished dinner.
According to the scheduled plan, the two Carters visited the Yale campus under the guidance of four veterans.
Tonight, the flow of people on Yale’s campus was extremely large!
Accompanied by some familiar old student volunteers, many freshmen like Carter walked out of the dormitory and looked at the place where they would live for four years with excitement and curiosity...
Just like the spring when the admission season for domestic colleges and universities comes, many old birds are also hunting for their goals at this time. According to research statistics, during the admission season, a girl who has just arrived in a strange environment usually has her entire college experience.
It’s the best time to chase!
The old birds at Yale obviously know this well. The old bird hunting groups laughing and chasing each other in small groups, and the newbie sightseeing group whispering in low voices, these two distinct small groups gradually merged with each other as time went by.
Either the old students are familiar with each other and can chat with each other in a few words; or they take the initiative to strike up a conversation and then follow them shamelessly. In short, what is displayed in front of Carter at Yale tonight is this picture full of youthful vitality.
...
But as the saying goes, everything has two sides, and in this land full of life, there are inevitably some voices that pretend to be mature. It was at the door of the School of Architecture, and Carter heard the loud noise inside.
The topic of debate was still the Vietnam Veterans Memorial during the day.
A Yale student’s work won first place, and the idea of building a Vietnam Veterans Memorial in the center of Washington DC, next to the Lincoln Memorial, is undoubtedly a hot topic at Yale right now.
In May, after the election results came out, not long after, Yale went on holiday!
The emotions that have been suppressed for the whole summer vacation are now accompanied by increasing controversy from the outside world. The debate about whether Maya Lin's works are disrespectful to the deceased or whether they are great works with great characteristics has erupted again!
"That redneck Pei Luo, what does art mean? Which great work of art was not criticized when it came out?! We firmly oppose your behavior of criticizing great artists because of your own ignorance and crudeness!"
"Fuck you, you Yankee! You can call Mr. Perot a redneck, but you can't deny that Texas is the largest source of soldiers in the United States! Generation after generation of Texans have shouldered their guns and fought for
Fight to defend our country! The monument is a tribute to our American soldiers. You cannot use art as an excuse to force something that is completely objectionable to them!"
"Who said the soldiers were disgusted? Many veterans in the Vietnam Veterans Association expressed their approval. Are you blind? Or are you pretending not to see on purpose?!"
"Then why don't you speak out against those opposing voices? Think about why Secretary Walt ordered a shutdown?!"
"Pure ignorance! Why else? Just Hart's sculpture, pfft~ stop being funny, okay? That thing requires creativity? Just pick any elementary school student, as long as he has learned even a few basics of sculpture, he can do it
You have to be better than him! What face does he have to mock Maya Lin?!"
"Fake, what happened to the soldier statue? What are you denying? Do you think our soldiers are not worthy of being statues?!"
"Oh my god, your understanding is really worrying. It's like you can't find any professional rebuttal, so you can only make a fuss about Maya Lin's Asian identity... you can only engage in racial discrimination.
You clowns, you have the nerve to say that you are a student at the Yale School of Architecture..."
"What the hell do you mean by racial discrimination! We just have reason to suspect that she has other tendencies and is suspected of smearing the United States! Who discriminated against her?!"
From a quarrel to a small-scale physical conflict. This farce made Carter, who was eating melon on the roadside, stunned...
In the past life, I heard that Yale students were particularly fond of activities such as political bonding. Whenever there was any movement in Washington, Yale began to boil. But Nima... the bonding over this really refreshed Carter's knowledge!
After all, when it comes to political affairs, Chinese people also like it, especially those BJ guys. But I have never seen anyone turn pale like this just because of a different opinion?!
Carter couldn't help but wonder:
So what if you just fight to win or lose? Will the gentlemen in Washington consider your opinions? Secondly, how to build the monument has nothing to do with you?!
For such a thing, which can be said to be completely incompatible with me, I almost staged a full-scale martial arts...
Isn't it a bit too tough?
Is this still Yale?
Are you sure it's not Texas State University?!
