What are the conditions of university dormitories?
In Philadelphia, where the author lives, two universities enroll many China students every year. A famous one? Rattan school? The University of Pennsylvania, and the other is drexel University. Both universities also require freshmen to live in dormitory in the first year. The year before last, my friend's daughter was admitted to drexel University. In the process of helping her move into the student dormitory to go through the admission formalities, I saw that the accommodation conditions here were very good.
The dormitory of drexel University is on campus, not far from the teaching building, library and gymnasium. My friend's daughter chose to live in a two-room dormitory, and her roommate was a female student who had just come from Shandong. The double room dormitory is about 10 square meter, with two wardrobes, two single beds, two tables with small bookshelves and lights, and two chairs. The bed shelf in the student dormitory is usually relatively high, and many boxes and the like can be put under the bed. The bathroom and toilet are in the corridor and shared by several bedrooms. There is a 24-hour guard downstairs in the dormitory, and students without ID cards and unregistered visitors are not allowed to enter, which is still very safe. Some dormitories have no doorman downstairs, but the doors are guarded, so only people with dormitory ID cards can open them.
Cornell University is located in Ithaca, a scenic town in new york. There are many dormitories in this school. Zheng Gu can live in the dormitory for four years when she is an undergraduate here. He has lived in two rooms and three rooms, and I like the small apartment with three rooms very much: as soon as I enter the door, it is a small living room with a sofa, and there are three bedrooms in it. Besides a single bed, there is also a desk with a small bookshelf, which is enough for students. There are toilets and bathrooms in the corridor. Cornell University covers a large area with undulating roads, so buses have been opened on campus, which makes it very convenient for students to drive back and forth.
The student dormitories in every American university are similar, usually single rooms, double rooms and small apartments for three or four people. The price is different, and students can choose according to their own conditions and needs. Generally speaking, early applicants have a choice and have a greater chance of getting a satisfactory dormitory.
