    Boston Campus Visit 3 - Yale

    从剑桥驱车2个半小时,从公路的出口转出去,经过几幢破败的房屋,远远看见welcome to yale的蓝色标牌,到了。++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 整体校园大珠小珠落玉盘地散落在整个镇上,和其他老牌学校一样,是没有围墙的。如果说Harvard是有男性魅力的话,Yale一定是一个倔强的淑女。建筑都是小小的,鲜见哈佛的那种宏大气势,细节倒是精致,一下子把别家都比下去了。只是偶尔经过的车辆里的隆隆音响划破这种精致,才意识到这里是new haven.剑桥称自己是镇,却繁华不羁地像个城;纽黑文称自己是城,却静寂安宁地像个镇。—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Yale是个很经典的liberal arts university.她的人文学科是别人望其项背的。不过近来在理工上倒是大花血本,可能是要寻求平衡。这是一种很奇怪的现象,似乎所有的工科学校都在强调其人文,反之亦然。Yale有一个很眩目的图书馆,更像是一个玻璃展览馆,里面躺着西方第一本印刷的“书”。如果要进玻璃馆里借书,则要通过恐怖主义检查一样的门,很有意思。———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Yale最有特色是她的residential college系统。所有的本科生被随机分在12个不同的学院里,类似于Hogwartz里面的四个小学院。当然他们没有好坏之分。美国人很喜欢强调sense of community,5000多人的本科学院被分成了12个小部门,吃喝拉萨学习娱乐都在一起,自然是温暖很多。学院之间有定期的对抗比赛。不过这里要区分的是,这是住宿院,和学院不是一个概念,所以和你的专业没有关系。yale的只有一个本科生院,没有pre-law/med/ engineering的分支。宿舍主要以套间为主,有single,double和common area.可以藏匿小冰箱,小微波炉。和哈佛一样,没有空调。学生们都要经历卧薪尝胆。Yale也有一个old yard,坐落着本科一年级新生的宿舍。院子里面也有几尊statues of lies,这些倒是和harvard学得有模有样。千万不要去摸雕像的脚,说不准学生在上面留下过什么排泄物(在哈佛有这样的传统,想必耶鲁也不能免俗,偷笑)。————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
