很多學(xué)生會(huì)選擇去美國(guó)康奈爾大學(xué)就讀，那么在這所大學(xué)讀書(shū)時(shí)什么樣的感受和體驗(yàn)?zāi)兀亢统鰢?guó)留學(xué)網(wǎng)一起來(lái)看看吧!下面是小編整理的在美國(guó)康奈爾大學(xué)留學(xué)是什么樣的體驗(yàn)，歡迎閱讀。
在美國(guó)康奈爾大學(xué)留學(xué)是什么樣的體驗(yàn)
1.Academics: You can literally study almost anything you want at Cornell, and choose to major in almost anything out there. We have so many electives that you wouldn't think of-- Wines, Magical Mushrooms, Human Bonding... and many of our professors hold national awards, are ambassadors, world-renown scientists, etc.
學(xué)術(shù)：基本上，在康奈爾你可以學(xué)習(xí)自己想學(xué)的任何方面的東西，幾乎也可以選擇任何方面的專業(yè)。我們有你幾乎都想不到的種類繁多的選修課——酒類、奇異蘑菇、人際關(guān)系等等，我們的很多教授都獲得過(guò)全國(guó)的獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)，有的是知名大使，有的是世界知名科學(xué)家等等。
2.Academics: The professors have a lot of experience and are always looking to improve, which makes each year better than the last.
學(xué)術(shù)：教授經(jīng)驗(yàn)豐富，熱衷進(jìn)取，每年都比上一年更好一些。
3.Academics: No complaints about any of the professors. All of the ones I've encountered have been very smart and happy to help. However, some of the lower-level math classes are taught by TAs, which I hear is unpleasant. Also, a lot of the work assigned is busywork, which is annoying to have to do when you have more important things on your plate.
學(xué)術(shù)：對(duì)于教授，沒(méi)什么好抱怨的!我遇到的教授都很睿智并很樂(lè)于幫助學(xué)生。但是，有些低年級(jí)的數(shù)學(xué)課由TAs授課的，據(jù)說(shuō)學(xué)生不太滿意。另外就是，還總有一些作業(yè)任務(wù)，這是讓人抓狂的，尤其是你覺(jué)得自己還有一些更重要的事情去做的時(shí)候。
4.Academics: As an engineering major, the classes are obviously challenging, but that's to be expected. The transition from high school to college is difficult, but there are plenty of resources on campus to help you with it.
學(xué)術(shù)：作為一個(gè)工程專業(yè)的學(xué)生，顯而易見(jiàn)，專業(yè)課是很有挑戰(zhàn)性的，但是同樣那也是充滿了期待的。從高中到大學(xué)的轉(zhuǎn)變有點(diǎn)難度，不過(guò)學(xué)校里有很多方面的資源可以幫助到你!
5.Majors: Cornell is one of the most prestigious universities in the world. Every year it sends scores of students to the top firms within their respective industries. I interned, as a freshman, in the United States Senate. So there are plenty of upper-echelon options even for younger students.
專業(yè)：康奈爾大學(xué)是全世界最富盛名的大學(xué)之一。每年它都會(huì)向世界的頂級(jí)公司輸送很多各領(lǐng)域的人才。我曾以新人的身份在美國(guó)參議院實(shí)習(xí)過(guò)。所以說(shuō)，有很多自我提升的機(jī)會(huì)，甚至對(duì)年輕一點(diǎn)的學(xué)生也是這樣。
6.Majors: As a Biological Engineer in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, I am getting the best education for a moderate price, since in-state tuition applies in CALS. The Common App for Cornell asks for you to rank the colleges in your order of preference and also choose a major in those colleges. I would suggest doing research on areas of interest and compiling a list of majors. If you are from New York State, I would consider looking at the state-subsidized schools, no matter what your financial situation is. Remember your choice of major or even of school is not final and there is room to switch during your college career.
專業(yè)：作為一個(gè)在農(nóng)業(yè)與生命科學(xué)學(xué)院學(xué)習(xí)生物工程專業(yè)的學(xué)生，我以適中的費(fèi)用受到了最好的教育，由于我符合“CALS”本州生學(xué)費(fèi)條例?？的螤柕腃ommon網(wǎng)申系統(tǒng)會(huì)要你列出你最喜歡的學(xué)院的排名，并讓你選出你這些學(xué)院你喜歡的專業(yè)。我建議基于興趣做研究，并列出一個(gè)不同專業(yè)的列表。如果你來(lái)自紐約州，我會(huì)考慮找一個(gè)有州補(bǔ)貼的學(xué)校，不論你自己的財(cái)政狀況如何。記得你選的專業(yè)甚至學(xué)院并不是最終的結(jié)果，在你大學(xué)生涯還有轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)(專業(yè))的空間。
7.Majors: So far, Biological Engineering is a very interesting field, at least for me, and a very practical and lucrative field, no matter who you are. The workload is that of an engineer (not the easiest) but there is opportunity to take classes that interest you after completing the required courses. Engineers are in high demand, and get many internship opportunities. It is also a very social field, as groupwork is required to solve problems.
專業(yè)：目前為止，生物工程是個(gè)很有意思的領(lǐng)域，至少就我來(lái)說(shuō)。這是一個(gè)很有現(xiàn)實(shí)意義，又有錢(qián)可賺的領(lǐng)域，不論你是誰(shuí)。學(xué)習(xí)壓力算是工程學(xué)里一般情況那種(不是最容易的)，但是，你學(xué)完了自己的必修課之余，你有機(jī)會(huì)去學(xué)習(xí)自己感興趣的其他課程。工程師有很高的需求，也會(huì)有很多的實(shí)習(xí)機(jī)會(huì)。同時(shí)，這也是個(gè)很社會(huì)化的領(lǐng)域，因?yàn)楹芏鄦?wèn)題需要組隊(duì)解決。
8.Majors: Obviously admissions is competitive, but once you are in your respective college it is pretty easy to select your concentration. (At least for the engineering school) All you have to do to declare a concentration is do a one-page application and get it reviewed by the department, but if you have taken the required classes and have the minimum GPA you will get in. For general admissions the most important things are probably grades and test scores, but most of the people here also have that "something special" to set them apart. If you don't think you have anything that necessarily distinguishes you from other applicants it would be advisable to apply early decision.
專業(yè)：很明顯這里錄取要求很高，但是一旦你被錄取進(jìn)入了你的學(xué)院，選擇你的學(xué)習(xí)方向就是很容易的事兒了(至少，工程學(xué)院如此)。選擇你的學(xué)習(xí)方向你要做的是填一份一頁(yè)的申請(qǐng)表格，然后等院系批復(fù)。如果你已經(jīng)學(xué)習(xí)了必修的課程，并有不低于最低要求的GPA，你會(huì)被錄取的。就一般錄取來(lái)說(shuō)，最重要的是成績(jī)和標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化考試成績(jī)!但是這里也有多數(shù)人都有他們自己的“特殊一面”讓他們與眾不同。如果你自認(rèn)為和其他申請(qǐng)者相比，沒(méi)什么讓自己出類拔萃的能力的話，那么準(zhǔn)備早申請(qǐng)才是上策。
9.Majors: I love the program that I am in at Cornell. It is unique and that it gives you a lot of flexibility as a pre-med and focuses on both the natural and social sciences.
專業(yè)：我愛(ài)我在康奈爾大學(xué)的項(xiàng)目。它很特殊，作為醫(yī)學(xué)預(yù)科，該項(xiàng)目有很好的靈活性并能很好的聚焦于自然科學(xué)和社會(huì)科學(xué)兩個(gè)方面。
10.Diversity: There are many opportunities on campus and in clubs for people of different races and sexual orientation especially. In my experience, most people are accepting of a wide range of diversity, but I'm sure the prejudices and biases exist somewhere. There is a mandatory orientation event for freshmen that does a good job of addressing this issue though, in my opinion.
多樣性：在學(xué)校里，各種俱樂(lè)部上不同種族的，不同性取向的人們都有很多的交流機(jī)會(huì)。據(jù)我的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，大家都不同程度地認(rèn)可多樣性的存在，但我確信成見(jiàn)和偏見(jiàn)也一定程度上存在。學(xué)校對(duì)新生有一個(gè)強(qiáng)制性的新生適應(yīng)活動(dòng)，在取消偏見(jiàn)這方面做的很好，我覺(jué)得。
11.Diversity: Very diverse when it comes to economic background, political beliefs, religion, and sexual orientation. I feel like there is a polarization between Hispanics/Blacks and the rest of the ethnicities. I know that blacks/hispanics feel like they have almost no friends of other races, and that it is because people avoid them, but being Hispanic, I can tell you that those feel segregated do it to themselves. The black/Hispanic communities cluster together freshman year, then stay that way the whole time. It is their own fault
多樣性：在經(jīng)濟(jì)背景，政治信仰，宗教信仰和性取向方面，康奈爾是極具多樣性的。我覺(jué)得在拉美裔/黑色人群和其他人種之間有極化現(xiàn)象。我知道拉美裔覺(jué)得他們沒(méi)有其他人種的朋友，因?yàn)槿藗兪柽h(yuǎn)他們。但是作為拉美裔，我可以告訴你那些覺(jué)得被疏遠(yuǎn)了的人是咎由自取。拉美裔群體在新生季聚集到一起，然后就一直待在一起(不跟別人接觸)。這是他們自己的過(guò)錯(cuò)。
12.Athletics: The Sports scene at Cornell is a hit or miss, but in the end it's a good balance. Coming from the Midwest, I honestly miss Big Ten football and basketball, but other sports such as hockey and lacrosse are more than enough to fill the void. As one of the top teams in the nation, Cornell Hockey is the epitome and center of Cornell Sport culture, and it is truly exciting to be a part of it. As a season ticket holder, I can pledge that home hockey games are always fun, highly spirited, and never boring affairs. The cozy rink fills pretty much for every game, and Student section tickets (if you know what you're doing) are fairly cheap. If you're a fanatic, like me. Don't worry. Priorities change when you go to college. To be honest, it's all I can do to get to the Rink on Fridays. Cornell is a challenging school. If you manage to make time to follow ANY of the sports here, I'd say that's a success.
體育：康奈爾大學(xué)的體育方面說(shuō)不上卓越，但也不錯(cuò)!因?yàn)閬?lái)自中西部，坦白說(shuō)我還是懷念十大聯(lián)盟橄欖球和籃球比賽，但是這里的其他的比賽項(xiàng)目比如曲棍球和長(zhǎng)曲棍球賽也足夠填補(bǔ)空白了。作為全美的頂級(jí)球隊(duì)之一，康奈爾曲棍球比賽是校運(yùn)動(dòng)的代表和康奈爾體育文化的核心，能成為其中的一份子真的是令人激動(dòng)的事。作為季票持有者，我敢說(shuō)康奈爾的主場(chǎng)曲棍球比賽總是充滿樂(lè)趣，又讓人激動(dòng)不已不會(huì)感到厭倦的比賽!舒適的球場(chǎng)，每場(chǎng)比賽都座無(wú)虛席。學(xué)生區(qū)域票(如果你知道自己在干什么的話)也相當(dāng)便宜。如果你是狂熱粉絲，像我一樣，別擔(dān)心，你進(jìn)入大學(xué)以后，有優(yōu)先改動(dòng)權(quán)。老實(shí)說(shuō)，這是我周五去球場(chǎng)唯一能做的事。康奈爾大學(xué)是一所充滿了挑戰(zhàn)的大學(xué)。如果你能管理好時(shí)間去關(guān)注以上任何種類的運(yùn)動(dòng)的話，得說(shuō)那也是一種成功!
13.Guys & Girls: Everyone is so different and I think that's a good thing. There are guys and girls who care about looking nice everyday and partying, and there are those who are very dedicated to their school work and don't socialize much. A lot of the students are from New York so how they dress can be similar at times but it isn't overbearing. You really will meet all kinds of people with a multitude of interests and hobbies.
男生女生：每個(gè)人都與眾不同，我覺(jué)得這一點(diǎn)很好。有很多男生和女生每天都很在意他們的外表是否好看;也有總是醉心于自己的學(xué)習(xí)和工作，不太社交的人。很多學(xué)生來(lái)自紐約，所以有時(shí)候他們的打扮都差不多類似，但是也不是太過(guò)火。你真的能遇到很多不同類型，具有不同興趣愛(ài)好的人。
14. Campus Food: Dining hall food is definitely some of the best in the country, but it can get old after all. But you have so many options to choose from, so even if you do get bored of one dining hall there are so many others to choose from.
校園飲食：餐廳里的食物絕對(duì)有一些是全國(guó)最美味的，但是也總會(huì)有厭倦的時(shí)候。但是你畢竟有很多的選擇，即使對(duì)某一個(gè)餐廳沒(méi)興趣了，你還有很多其他的餐廳可以去。
15. Campus Housing: Some of the dorms are older, but still maintain a lot of character. There are a lot of housing options for upperclassmen.
校園住宿：一些宿舍有點(diǎn)老舊了，但是仍然個(gè)性十足。對(duì)高年級(jí)的學(xué)生有很多住宿選擇方式。
16.Administration: I found there was a good balance of leniency towards minor offenses but strict consequences to major ones.
校園管理：我覺(jué)得學(xué)校在小事情上的寬松和大事情上的嚴(yán)格保持了很好的平衡。
17. Health & Safety: I feel very safe on campus. The blue light system adopted at many colleges exists here at Cornell. Every time a crime occurs, the entire community hears about it over email. The most serious incident this year has been some hooligan doing drive-bys with a paintball gun. Bikes are safe as long as you have a lock, and each residence hall has bicycle storage in the basement for added security. Police are also available at a moment's notice.
健康與安全：我在學(xué)校感覺(jué)很安全?？的螤栠@里有預(yù)警系統(tǒng)。每次有犯罪現(xiàn)象發(fā)生，通過(guò)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)，整個(gè)學(xué)校都會(huì)知道。今年最嚴(yán)重的事情是有小流氓拿著彩彈槍飆車。你有鎖的話，你的摩托車就會(huì)很安全。為了進(jìn)一步確保安全，每個(gè)宿舍樓地下室都有自行車停放處。校警也總是隨時(shí)待命。
18. Transportation: The T-Cat Bus system is pretty great. It takes some time before you can really figure out how it works, but overall I'd say it's fairly convenient and quite cheap. The campus is also good for walking and fairly isolated from outside traffic.
交通：T-Cat 巴士公交系統(tǒng)很棒，但你得花點(diǎn)時(shí)間弄明白它們的運(yùn)營(yíng)方式?？偟膩?lái)說(shuō)，它很方便又便宜。校園也很適于散步，和外界很好地隔開(kāi)了。
19. Local Area: Ithaca is a charming small upstate New York town. Though it is a hassle to get to by driving (no major highways go near it), it is beautiful in the beginning and end of the school year. Ithaca has only one movie theater and does not have the largest shopping selection, but there are some great restaurants and occasional festivals and events going on. The cold Ithaca winters can be a hassle, but people find ways through it.
當(dāng)?shù)厣睿阂了_卡是一個(gè)很有魅力的紐約的城鎮(zhèn)。開(kāi)車到那里去有點(diǎn)困難(附近沒(méi)有干線公路)，學(xué)年開(kāi)始和結(jié)束的時(shí)候非常漂亮。伊薩卡只有一個(gè)電影院，沒(méi)有特別大的購(gòu)物中心，但是有一些很棒的參觀，不同的節(jié)日和活動(dòng)也都有很多不錯(cuò)的。伊薩卡寒冷的冬天有點(diǎn)難熬，但是人們總能找到辦法度過(guò)冬天的。
20. Academics: I really like my program! The facilities are great, the Hotel School was just added a new library and lounge. The workload can be pretty heavy sometimes, but it's doable. You have a lot of internship and work opportunities, and you have a connection to the Alumni network which is great as well.
學(xué)術(shù)：我真是超級(jí)喜歡我的專業(yè)。設(shè)施超棒，酒店學(xué)院剛增加了一個(gè)新的圖書(shū)館和休息廳。學(xué)習(xí)壓力有時(shí)候會(huì)很重，但是是可以應(yīng)付的。有很多實(shí)習(xí)和工作的機(jī)會(huì)，和校友網(wǎng)也會(huì)有很多的聯(lián)系，真的是非常棒。
21. Academics: Nutrition at Cornell is the best in the nation, and the workload is fun, applicable and relevant in Nutrition classes. Facilities are awesome for cooking labs and classes, and there are a bunch of related research opportunities with big name professors. Workload sucks for prerequisites though in your first two years since they're the same as pre-med students.
學(xué)術(shù)：康奈爾的營(yíng)養(yǎng)學(xué)是全國(guó)最好的，營(yíng)養(yǎng)學(xué)的課堂上學(xué)習(xí)很有意思，也是可以應(yīng)付的，并且課程都很切中要害。實(shí)驗(yàn)室和課堂中的設(shè)施都極好，還有很多相關(guān)的研究經(jīng)歷，都是跟著特別知名的教授的。前兩年課業(yè)壓力會(huì)因?yàn)橐獙W(xué)先修課程而很重，因?yàn)樗麄兣c醫(yī)學(xué)預(yù)科的學(xué)生是一樣的。
