I Am the President of the University
Chapter 798: There is no provision for preferential treatment for international students of Chinese
"I don't think so."
Before coming to China, Dennis was both looking forward to and fearful of his upcoming college life.
Coming across the ocean from the United States to China, it can be said that the culture, food, customs, and other aspects are completely different.
Moreover, will my choice be wrong?
Everything is unknown.
But after arriving at Guanghua University, he was very satisfied with the dormitory conditions, if nothing else.
Brand-name bathroom suites, smart toilets, separate bathrooms and separate balconies, washing machines with integrated washing and drying, as well as beds and desk cabinets made of logs.
This kind of dormitory only costs over a hundred dollars, and it lasts for a year, not a month!
As far as he knows, many student apartments in American universities are very expensive, with annual rental costs ranging from US$3,600 to US$7,200.
Generally speaking, in big cities with good geographical locations and convenient transportation, the price for a well-decorated single room is US$500 to US$700 per month.
Even a student apartment that costs US$700 a month may not be as good as Guanghua University in terms of dormitory conditions. f
It would be even better if the dormitory was not a quadruple room but a two-person room.
With such dormitory conditions and prices, why is Bowen still not satisfied?
Therefore, he expressed his opinions very frankly.
"Why?!"
Bowen looked at Dennis in disbelief, "We are international students. Britain and the United States are more developed than China. When we come here to study, shouldn't we enjoy better conditions and preferential treatment?"
"Many schools here treat us international students with high standards. Why is Guanghua University an exception?"
"That's not fair!" Bowen gritted his teeth.
"unfair?"
Dennis raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at this guy, and asked: "Are you still not satisfied with the price of this kind of dormitory, which is more than one hundred dollars a year?"
"Do you think other university environments with single rooms can be as good as Guanghua University?"
“Although I’m not used to living in a collective environment, when I was learning Chinese, I heard my Chinese teacher say something called: When you are in a native place, do as the Romans do.”
"We are here to learn, not to enjoy."
"If you want to move to a better dormitory, maybe you can apply to the school."
After Dennis finished speaking, he turned around and left, completely ignoring the changing expression on Bowen's face.
"Farke!"
"Damn Yankees!"
Bowen was angry.
He was originally dissatisfied with Guanghua University's differential treatment of international students, so he thought he could get another white man in the dormitory to complain with him.
But I didn't expect that this guy would spray him? ! !
It’s a waste that he thought the other party was one of his own before!
"Just complain to the school. I can do it myself!"
Bowen sneered at Dennis a few more times, and then walked straight to Guanghua Tower.
…
Principal's office.
"An international student wants to see me?"
Chen Hao frowned, "Did you say what it was about?"
"It seems that he is not satisfied with the dormitory or something." Deng Hui answered truthfully.
To be honest, she was quite supportive of the school's decision in this regard, but she was also slightly worried in her heart.
After all, people go to higher places and water flows to lower places.
Few Chinese universities are internationally famous, and only Tsinghua University, Peking University and HKUST are among the top 100 universities in the world.
The truly top students will never consider studying in China. Almost all of them go to prestigious universities in Europe and the United States.
Among the foreign students in China, there are very few top academics.
After Chen Hao heard this reason, he chuckled.
He waved his hand and said, "Then let him come in."
After a while, Bowen came into the office.
When he and Chen Hao looked at each other, the tension and fear in his heart increased instead of decreasing.
After all, Principal Chen is not a simple principal.
Just when Bowen was thinking wildly, the other party's voice came to his ears.
"Classmate Bowen, what do you want from me?"
"Yes, it's about some dormitory issues."
Bowen took a deep breath and pretended to be calm: "Dear Professor Chen, I am a new student from the UK who is enrolling this year. I would like to communicate with the school and give feedback on some issues in the school dormitories."
"Do you want a dormitory?" Chen Hao raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Guanghua University attaches great importance to students' opinions. You can express your demands."
Bowen, who thought he was in for a good deal, was overjoyed and said without thinking: "Our universities in the UK all have single rooms. After coming to Guanghua, I can't accept the collective living conditions here. I want to apply to change to single rooms. "
Chen Hao asked noncommittally: "You said all universities in the UK have single rooms?"
Bowen was stunned by Chen Hao's question, sweating slightly on his forehead, so he could only evade vaguely:
"It should be the same in the UK."
Chen Hao smiled.
"Oh, are Cambridge University, Oxford University, and London School of Economics all in the United States?"
"I remember these schools also have double rooms. Why, have they all been changed to single rooms now?"
Friends who often watch American or British dramas will probably notice that university dormitories in the United Kingdom and the United States are actually different from those in China. Freshmen are either forced to live in school dormitories, or some applications for beds are open, and those who fail to get a bed have to rent a room by themselves.
There are many types of university dormitories in the United Kingdom and the United States. For example, the London School of Economics and Political Science has single rooms, suites, single suites, single apartments, and double rooms.
There is also a classic layout. For example, the student apartments at the University of London are mostly composed of "4-6 rooms + a public kitchen + public bathroom" forming a large suite.
In addition, student dormitories in Japan and South Korea are also divided into: single rooms, two-person rooms, three-person rooms and four-person rooms. Not all foreign university dormitories are single rooms.
Listening to Chen Hao's teasing tone, Bowen blushed and was not in a very good mood.
He bit his lip tightly, "When I was in the UK, I also heard that China treats international students very well, but when I came to Guanghua University, I didn't feel this!"
"However, many universities in China have such measures."
Chen Hao paused and said in a serious tone: "But Guanghua University is not among them. No matter you are a student from your own country, or from the United Kingdom, the United States, or other countries, you will not receive any preferential treatment here! "
"We treat students equally. If you want preferential treatment, you can use your grades to get it, instead of asking for preferential treatment based on your nationality."
"Undergraduate students at Guanghua University only have four-bed rooms. If you can't bear it, you can stay in an on-campus hotel or apply to rent a room off campus. Of course, you need to sign a disclaimer with the school." Chen Hao said unceremoniously.
Looking around the world, almost only China has dormitories for international students, and universities in other countries hardly treat them differently.
However, China’s dormitory system for international students is not the first of its kind and can be traced back to the Soviet Union in the last century.
Although the Soviet Union collapsed, things like dormitories for international students were copied in China and continue to this day.
The local students who did this are very resentful about this, and it has not been cancelled.
It is true that Guanghua can learn from Europe and the United States and provide dormitories with several specifications and conditions, but this will inevitably cause class antagonism.
On the same campus, those from poor families live in quadruple rooms, while those from well-off families live in single rooms. This will make many students feel unbalanced.
He couldn't control things outside the school, but in the school, Chen Hao wanted to pursue relative equality and fairness.
If you want preferential treatment, use your grades instead of your family background.
Chen Hao's tough attitude silenced Bowen.
Chen Hao did not condone him and continued: "If you have any objections to me, you can complain to the Ministry of Education of our country. "
"This is China, not your UK."
"If there are no other questions, Bowen, you can leave."
Bowen left without saying a word.
As for Chen Hao, he didn't take this matter to heart at all.
The four-person room has this condition. I don’t understand why I’m dissatisfied?
If you want a single room, that's fine. If you stay in school to study as a graduate student, Guanghua's graduate apartment building, whether you are a master's student or a doctoral student, all have single rooms. \b
He doesn't care if the evil trend of foreign students enjoying preferential treatment prevails in other places, but he is not allowed to show the glory.
Guanghua downstairs.
Bowen's face was gloomy, especially after remembering Chen Hao's strong words just now, his mood became even worse.
"Farke!"
"How can a poor university have the confidence to say these things?"
Bowen didn't care where he was and cursed directly in his native language.
After getting tired of scolding, he began to worry.
It was impossible to return to China. He even had a big fight with his parents in order to apply for Guanghua University.
Wouldn't it be a slap in the face to drop out of school and go back now?
If you don’t live in a dormitory and go out to live...
Bowen's face fell, of course it was impossible.
Whether you live in an on-campus hotel or rent a house, if you want to live in a better environment than the dormitory, the accommodation cost will be at least 30,000 yuan a year.
30,000 yuan is already 3,612 pounds.
Student apartment fees in the UK are calculated on a weekly basis. If it is a suite, the weekly fee is approximately 110-140 pounds; for a single apartment, it is basically as high as 170-180 pounds; the cheapest is a double room, which only costs 170-180 pounds per week. Around £80.
The cost is still quite high.
Compared to living in school dormitories, it only costs 120 pounds a year.
My family will definitely not agree.
"Hmph! Just live in the dormitory and compare your grades? When the time comes, I will take first place as an international student. Let's see if it embarrasses you!"
Bowen made up his mind that he must get the highest score in each subject, his GPA should be the first in the school, and he must win all kinds of competitions.
By then, the most outstanding students at Guanghua University will be from foreign countries rather than from the local area. These school leaders will probably be trolled to death by netizens from their own countries, right?
Thinking of this, Bowen's expression softened slightly and he quickened his pace back to the dormitory.
He wants to start studying hard and get these Chinese students to death!
…
Tianfu Province, Rongcheng.
Taikoo Li.
Tan Xiaorou, who was shopping with her boyfriend on her arm, noticed a store that was being renovated.
The store's logo is a deer-like animal covered in black with its front hooves raised.
"Hey, is this the Guanghua Mall of Guanghua University?"
