日常英語 未知的大學(xué)生活 提前做一點(diǎn)功課

1. Every College Has Different Rules on What You Can Bring

關(guān)于學(xué)生能攜帶的物品，每所大學(xué)都有各自的規(guī)定

It is essential that you check the list of approved and prohibited items from your college before you move in. Rules vary from school to school, and you may want to hold off on buying that mini-fridge/microwave combo until you make sure you can have them in your dorm.

在你搬進(jìn)大學(xué)宿舍前，先查看貴校準(zhǔn)許和禁止攜帶的物品清單，這一點(diǎn)很重要。每個(gè)學(xué)校的規(guī)定各不相同，買迷你冰箱和微波爐之前最好先確認(rèn)一下宿舍是不是允許。

2. You Probably Shouldn't Take Your Whole Closet

不要帶太多衣服到學(xué)校

Dorm storage space is one thing that many incoming freshmen overestimate. Depending on the size of your wardrobe, it might be a good idea to consider leaving everything but the necessities at home. Besides, you might find you don't need as many clothes as you think—most college laundry facilities are easy, inexpensive, and located right in the residence hall.

很多大學(xué)新生都高估了宿舍存儲(chǔ)空間?？紤]到宿舍衣柜的尺寸，你還是只帶一些必備衣服比較好。另外，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己需要的衣服沒有你想象的那么多，大多數(shù)大學(xué)宿舍樓內(nèi)都有便于使用的洗衣設(shè)施，價(jià)格也不貴。

3. You Might Not Like Your Roommate (And That's Not the End of the World)

你的室友可能不好相處（但也不要把問題想得太嚴(yán)重）

For your first semester of college, odds are you'll have either a randomly picked roommate or a roommate who was selected based on your responses to a brief questionnaire. And while it's completely possible that you will be the best of friends, it's also possible that you might not get along. This can be uncomfortable, but remember that with classes, clubs, and other campus events, you probably won't be in your room very much anyway. However, if your roommate is a bit more than you can handle, Residential Advisors and Residential Directors can often help.

在進(jìn)入大學(xué)的第一個(gè)學(xué)期，你很可能會(huì)被隨機(jī)分配室友，或者根據(jù)一份簡(jiǎn)短問卷給你安排室友。雖然你和你的室友完全有可能會(huì)變成非常好的朋友，但你們也可能處不來。這會(huì)讓人不爽，但是別忘了你還要上課、參加社團(tuán)和其他校園活動(dòng)，你待在宿舍里的時(shí)間應(yīng)該也不會(huì)太長(zhǎng)。不過，如果你的室友實(shí)在讓你受不了，你可以求助于宿管人員。

4. Know Where You Can Get Good Food

你要知道哪里能吃到美食

Food is an important part of the campus experience. Most colleges have multiple dining options, and it's a good idea to try them all your first semester. If you want to know the best place to eat, or if you need vegan, or gluten-free options, you can always check the college's website, or just ask your fellow students. Don't forget to try outside the college, too—college towns almost always have good, cheap food.

飲食是校園生活的一個(gè)重要部分。大多數(shù)高校都有多家食堂，第一學(xué)期最好能把它們嘗個(gè)遍。如果你想知道哪里的飯菜最好吃，或者想吃素食或不含谷蛋白的食物，你可以在校網(wǎng)上查一下或者問問你的同學(xué)。別忘了嘗試一下校外的美食，大學(xué)城里通常都有好吃又便宜的餐館。

5. There Are Tons of Things to Do (And It's Pretty Easy to Find Them)

在大學(xué)里有很多事情可做（而且很容易就能找到事情做）

The last thing anyone should be worried about is being bored on campus. Almost every college has a host of student clubs and organizations, frequent campus events, and other activities. They're not hard to find, either. There are often fliers and posters all around campus for things to do and clubs to join. Some clubs even have their own social media sites, which could help you not only learn about the clubs, but also contact current members.

在大學(xué)里絕對(duì)不用擔(dān)心自己會(huì)感到無聊，幾乎每所大學(xué)都有大量的學(xué)生社團(tuán)組織和頻繁的校園活動(dòng)。而且想要參加也很容易，校園里遍地都是社團(tuán)和校園活動(dòng)的傳單和海報(bào)。一些社團(tuán)甚至還有自己的社交媒體頁面，可以幫助你了解社團(tuán)和聯(lián)系到社團(tuán)現(xiàn)有成員。

6. Plan Out Your Academic Career Early (But Don't Be Afraid to Change It)

早早地規(guī)劃好學(xué)業(yè)生涯（但也不要害怕做出改變）

In order to make sure you have all the credits you need to graduate on time, it's a good idea to plan out your courses early. But keep in mind that your plan won't be written in stone. Many students change their majors at least once during their time in college, and this is a good thing. College is supposed to be a time of discovery.

為了確保在畢業(yè)前修完全部學(xué)分，你最好早早地做好課程規(guī)劃。但也要記住，規(guī)劃不是一成不變的。許多學(xué)生在大學(xué)期間至少會(huì)換一次專業(yè)，這是好事。大學(xué)時(shí)光本來就是不斷發(fā)現(xiàn)的過程。

7. You Can Get Good Grades and Have Fun

你可以成績(jī)快樂兩不誤

A common fear when starting college is that there will be time for either studying or having fun, but not both. The truth is that with good time management it is possible to get good grades in all your classes and still have time to be in clubs and go have fun. If you manage your schedule well, you may even get a decent amount of sleep, too.

很多人擔(dān)心上了大學(xué)后，要么把時(shí)間用來學(xué)習(xí)，要么把時(shí)間用于玩樂，但不能二者兼得。真相是，只要你做好時(shí)間管理，你不但所有課程都能取得好成績(jī)，還能有時(shí)間參加社團(tuán)和玩樂。如果你善于安排日程，你甚至還能享有充足的睡眠時(shí)間。
