Chapter 328
John didn't explain any further . They would know everything soon enough in class .
After passing several buildings, Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei finally reached their favorite place: the library . The building was of a solemn, ancient style, unlike the rest of New York, which was very fancy . Human knowledge was stored there .
The library of the University of Columbia had the fifth largest collection of books in America . There were thousands of ancient books there . The floor and the chairs were made of brown wood, and there were also private, independent chambers . Students there had many choices .
Their class was a vocation course, yet half the seats were already taken . They made a quick visit to the library and then left .
"The library is open 23 hours a day . The staff arranges the returned books during that one hour . You can study here anytime . "
"The bad news is, although the library can hold hundreds of students, it’s usually impossible to find a spare seat on weekdays . "
"This university is very academic . You’ll see when you get to your first class . "
Words couldn’t do justice to the reality of the situation . Most Chinese students, who were the most diligent guys in Asia, would not listen to the seniors’ stories . As a result, they would cry later in class .
At the end of their tour, they saw a strange iron gate .
It was black with European characteristics, so it stood out in the university . Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei looked at John curiously, waiting for his explanation .
John shrugged helplessly . "It’s Barnard College . "
"It’s an independent girls-only college inside our university . The girls can apply for a degree from Columbia University after their graduation . We do not recognize their diplomas though . All their professors and staff are independent from our university . We call their college a younger sister . If you are not clever enough, you could apply to this college . "
Suddenly, he looked up proudly . I’m a proud student of Columbia University!
Qin Guan saw some freshmen going out . They were wearing purple summer uniforms with a bear symbol on them . Interesting . It was different from the lion of Columbia University .
It was just like a small college in Peking University . The students shared all the resources on campus, including the library and the gym .
Suddenly, John told Qin Guan in secret, "The girls there all engage in art . They are the most beautiful girls in the US, and they like to date students from our university . Understand?"
I understand nothing . My girlfriend is here, and I don't want to die .
They walked out of the gate with their shoulders touching, fighting playfully . Outside was Broadway Street .
The setting sun cast an orange light on the street, which was quiet during peak time .
They unconsciously headed west . Unlike most universities in the US, Columbia University had fences . That was because there was a river by the side gate .
Purple flowers decorated the bank . On the other side of the river was the noisy urban area .
"Thank you for showing us around . See you in class!"
They said goodbye on the path along the river . This was the splendid paradise they would be striving in in the future .
Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei decided to walk along the river towards Broadway Street before concluding their trip .
There were simple restaurants all along the street . Cheap fast food, like hamburgers and fries, was popular among the students . Breakfast there cost only 1 . 99 dollars .
. . .
The next morning was just as beautiful . Taking their student cards with them, they walked in different directions, starting off the new semester .
Following his timetable, Qin Guan went to his first classroom . He saw a Chinese cup, a clean handkerchief and a vintage cigar case on the professor’s desk .
What kind of person is our professor? He sure has a strange style!
When most students had taken their seats, Professor Martin entered the classroom leisurely . Those things on the desk must have been arranged by Kuhn . Martin cast a favorable glance at the first row, where a young man with blonde hair and blue eyes was sitting . He was grinning at Martin .
Martin sighed at him helplessly . Then he saw a boy with thick glasses . Xu Xiaoxiao, Kuhn’s friend, also passed the postgraduate exams . Good boy!
Where is my Chinese boy? Is he late for his first class?
Martin couldn’t find Qin Guan . Forget it . I’ll call names first .
"Kuhn?"
"Here!"
"Qin Guan?"
"Here!"
