Admission officers from Smith, Haverford,Bennington, Kenyon and Tufts visited us on 22nd and 23rdof May. Following are some thoughts from our students regarding to this visit.

　　零距離接觸——美國五所學(xué)校來訪。來自美國史密斯學(xué)院、哈弗福德學(xué)院、伯明頓學(xué)院、凱尼恩學(xué)院和塔夫茨大學(xué)的招生官來到成都外國語學(xué)校中美高中AP課程中心，在5月22日與我們的家長見面并對文理教育，美國大學(xué)錄取等方面做了深入淺出的講解；23日，招生官們走進課堂，為我們的學(xué)生上了一堂充滿活力的擇校課。


　　下面是幾位同學(xué)對于這次活動的感受

　　這次的大學(xué)來訪讓我收益良多，作為一名AP課程中心的學(xué)生，我應(yīng)該定準(zhǔn)自己的目標(biāo)。而這次的大學(xué)講座讓我更加了解這五所非常好的學(xué)校，并且明確了自己的目標(biāo)。而從這次大學(xué)來訪中，我深的體會還是在和招生官面對面接觸的過程中得到的。我以前一直以為一定要不斷地證明自己的能力，一定要得到很多獎項，做很多大事才會受到招生官的青睞。可事實上呢，經(jīng)過Tufts 招生官的耐心解說，我明白了其實重要的是展現(xiàn)一個真實而又與眾不同的你，甚至你可以寫你參加過很多比賽但沒有獲獎，其實獲獎與否并不是必要的，關(guān)鍵是在除開高中學(xué)習(xí)生活之外豐富自己，合理安排自己的時間去做自己喜歡的事情，那就足夠了。我認為這次大學(xué)招生官講座讓我們能夠近距離接觸招生官并提出自己的質(zhì)疑，這無疑是一個非常好的體驗。總的來說，我在這次大學(xué)招生官見面會里面學(xué)到了很多。

　　On the May 23th,students from AP center gave a warm welcome to admission officers from top colleges, which are the Smith College, the Bennington College. Their visit shared the background information about their school and talked about the difference between colleges and universities. The lectures were attractive to students while the atmosphere was active and concentrating. Later, students from Grade10-11 were regrouped into two different classes. Teachers of the visitors gave us joyful lessons to understand the relation in extracurricular activities and applications as well as the details of college life. Through the whole process of experience, we learned and perceived more knowledge and information about how is the college meat to us.

　　I’ve always been a huge fan of college visit. I figure that nothing is more exciting than talking to college admission officers, as they’re often very kind and willing to answer all sorts of questions.

　　Liberal arts colleges are different from big research universities in many ways. Their traits of putting focus on undergraduate education and having smaller class sizes intrigue me the most.Smith is my favorite school among the four, and it clears out my misconceptions about girls’ school. All girls, no guys! Won’t that be too boring? Not at all! In fact, scientific studies have shown that students learn best when they’re being with people of their gender, for there will be less disturbance. Besides,Kenyon has a strong writing tradition, giving students an intensive writing practice in all classes, even math and science.

　　In short, I’m looking forward to experiencing liberal arts education.

　　這已經(jīng)是四次文理學(xué)院來訪，讓我們對于美國大學(xué)和教育體系因此愈發(fā)熟悉。大學(xué)的環(huán)境競爭非常激烈，適合活躍、外向的學(xué)生，而像Haverford和Smith這樣的文理學(xué)院，也適合內(nèi)斂安靜的學(xué)生。美國社會本身就是差異性和包容性相結(jié)合，這一特點在文理學(xué)院得到了很好的體現(xiàn)。在上午的Workshop中，我們了解到文理學(xué)院的教育中注重性格的再培養(yǎng)，對領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力、溝通能力的塑造，打造中國學(xué)生的差異性和優(yōu)越性；而在文化上的教育，學(xué)生得以與教授更頻繁的接觸，與來自世界各地的學(xué)生成為同窗，培養(yǎng)我們世界的視野，包容美國文化的多樣性。一上午與招生官一起討論、交流的時光轉(zhuǎn)瞬既逝，我很感激我們有這樣的平臺可以讓我們更好的了解自己今后怎樣融入到美國大學(xué)生活中去。我們這一代是很幸運的一代，我們可以帶著中國傳統(tǒng)的自豪去到一個文化多種多樣、又互相包容的美利堅。我們是世界人，我們來自成外AP。
