Chapter 702 It’s totally feasible to be an international student!

In addition to the group of students who study abroad at public expense, those who study abroad at their own expense are those who study abroad at their own expense.

To be honest, at this point in time in 1983, Carter didn't expect there to be many of these people.

But as long as they are able to study abroad at their own expense, even if they can afford such a cross-ocean air ticket, and can afford to pay the tuition (without applying for a scholarship), these people's family background is not ordinary!

Just now, Stevens also said that Yale’s current tuition standard is US$6,130 per year, which is more than US$24,000 in four years. Even at the official exchange rate, this is more than RMB 70,000. If it is the black market exchange rate, it will not matter.

Starting from 200,000 RMB!

In an era when everyone with a household worth ten thousand yuan was an awesome person, he could afford seven households worth ten thousand yuan, and he could actually get money through the official exchange rate.

If these students can come to Yale, it will be very helpful to their future careers in Greater China!

Many of these are not about money anymore!

Moreover, even if it is for really poor people, for example, if the whole village, old and young, jointly raises funds to give it away, then it doesn’t matter!

Being able to apply to a prestigious school like Yale and pass the review by the admissions office. This person’s basic ability is not a problem. After such a person is collected, he will be sent back to help him manage some branches in the future.

Very good.

During the exchanges between Yu Goshal and Bartlett about multinational enterprises, Carter also received a very enlightening conceptual suggestion: that is, what should multinational enterprises do.

The national conditions, laws, customs and customs of each country are all different. So multinational companies will inevitably face a choice between localization and standardization.

Standardization is conducive to information control at the headquarters, while localization is in line with the market and helps companies gain a better foothold.

In Carter's view, he wants both of these things. Internal management should follow standardization and all branches should be treated equally, but in market operations, some local employees are needed to control and appropriately delegate authority.

So, who are better suited to do this than these native-born people?!

It's not that Carter can't find Chinese people now, but that all he sees are second- or even third-generation immigrants. Their understanding of China is not even as good as his own.

"The quality of education is easy to say. Generally speaking, except for public general education courses, which may have a greater pressure on classroom capacity, other courses should not be said to be unable to accommodate so many students. Besides, this is not much, right?"

"If that doesn't work, you can also try to implement audio-visual education. It is an electronic classroom, such as a blackboard, in the form of pictures prepared in advance, and projected on the TV."

"Isn't this easy to operate?"

"It's okay. We already have LED screens. We can put them up with a bracket or hang them up."

Touching his chin, Carter slowly thought about it

TVs, or narrow-screen TVs similar to the ones I used when I was in college, are now technically possible! Of course, the resolution and color gamut are definitely not comparable to those in the future.

But there is no problem in getting rid of those big-ass TVs! The reason why big-ass TVs have that big butt is usually because of the CRT screen, and its image presentation is so complicated. If you replace it with an LED screen, you can

Solve this problem.

However, it is true that the cost of LED screens these days is not low!

"If it's really difficult, I can donate a batch of narrow-screen TVs to some large classrooms for teaching. The teachers in the computer department should know how to make courseware, and it shouldn't be difficult with some training. As for accommodation, I

Remember, some properties around the school belong to us at Yale, so they can’t be converted into apartments?”

"It's not that it can't be changed, but there isn't much left. Except for the land at Yale Bowl that can't be sold for a price, the land around the school and here in the old city can be sold as early as possible. If not, we wouldn't be able to sell it.

You would choose to sacrifice the quality of education to expand the enrollment of so many students, wouldn’t you?”

While Stevens sighed, he also noticed that Carter seemed to be a little too obsessed with international students.

"You seem to be very optimistic about the direction of international students?"

"Yes, I am indeed optimistic about this direction. When I heard from my roommate that the school was considering this, I prepared some information, but I was shocked when I saw it."

Speaking of this, Carter became energetic.

“We at Yale are really innovative!”

"Um?"

"The first group to accept Chinese students was Yale. Oh, by the way, I have thought of a solution to the accommodation problem! Didn't Yale accept a group of Chinese students during the Qing government? Didn't they arrange for surrounding residents to live there?

Living at home is a model we can learn from now!”

Speaking of the connection between Yale and China, Carter was really shocked

The first Western-style hospital in Chinese history, Guangzhou Eye Hospital, was established in 1835. It was founded by Peter Parker, a graduate of Yale Divinity School and Medical School.

In 1854, Rong Hong graduated from Yale University and became the first Chinese to obtain a degree from an American university.

In 1878, Samuel Williams, who had served as a missionary and diplomat in China, was hired by Yale University and became the first professor of Chinese language and literature in an American university. As early as 1936, Yale University had offered a Chinese language course

Major, it can be said to be the first institution among American universities to offer Chinese majors.

In the same year, the famous Zhan Tianyou also followed a group of kids to Yale University.

In the same year, because the children sent by the Qing government to study in the United States were too young, Yale University had to arrange for them to live in the homes of nearby residents so that someone could take care of the children's lives. This is the American homestay family.

The earliest prototype

Having said that about Yale, let’s look at China.

The first president of Fudan University should be a graduate of Fudan Public School, ***, and a Yale graduate; the first president of Tsinghua University should be a graduate of Tsinghua Academy, Tang Guoan, a Yale graduate.

Even four of the first five presidents of Tsinghua University studied at Yale.

In addition to education, there are Xiangya Medical University and Xiangya Hospital in "Northern Union and Southern Xiangya". Xiang, of course, means Hunan, and Ya actually means "Yali", and Yali is

Transliteration of yale.

The Yale-China Association, which co-founded the Xiangya Medical College with the Yuqun Association, was an alumni association-like organization composed of Yale graduates.

It is said that Carter was dumbfounded after finding these records.

Part of my doubts were solved: No wonder my original interviewer could find Professor Liu from Tsinghua University who studied at MIT; while the other part was angry: Damn it, the old dean actually lied to me that Yale has no Chinese professors?! It’s so hard!

I think I chose French in the blue book!

But in exchange for being dumbfounded at the beginning,

"I think the international students aspect is very manageable! If nothing else, it's not difficult at all to get 300 international students from China. If necessary, I can contact the professors at Tsinghua University

Let’s communicate our intentions in advance and let them select a group of students. What do you think?”
