2023年5月29日下午CAS时间，宏润博源学校举行了线下大学展活动。

The CAS session on the afternoon of May 29, 2023, saw the college fair held on the campus of SHBS.

此次参展的大学包括来自美国、英国、加拿大、西班牙、意大利、瑞士、澳大利亚以及中国大陆等多个国家和地区的13所大学和2家知名升学相关平台。其中不仅有州立大学，也有文理学院，还有艺术学院和其它私立大学，可谓是琳琅满目，馥郁多彩。

Those who joined the fair included 13 universities or colleges from US, UK, Canada, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Australia and Chinese mainlandand 2 well-known agencies. Among those universities and colleges, there were not only state universities, but also liberal arts colleges, as well as art colleges and other private universities.

同学们参考升学部提供的问题列表与大学招生官进行交流，收集信息，深度了解和对比这些大学，并分析大学与自己的适配性。这场大学展可以帮助同学们更好地了解在探索大学时需要考量的方面，以及大学招生官所看重的学生的品质，也激励同学们深度思考自己的成长和发展路径。

By referring to the list of questions provided by the College AdvisingDepartment, students interacted with the admission officers from different colleges, collected information, gained a thorough understanding of these colleges, made in-depth comparisons among them, and analyzed whether a college suited them or not. This college fair can help students better understand which factors to consider when exploring a college, whatqualities college admissions officers are trying to seek for in students, and can inspire students to think over how they will grow up and develop.

我与巴德学院招生官进行了交流，获得了很多有价值的信息。巴德学院坐落在郊区，校园宁静且安全，并且距离城市也不远，学生有许多实习机会。谈到学院的气质，招生官变得滔滔不绝，他告诉我们，积极主动、有自我效能的学生更适合这所学校。学校几乎没有就业相关的培训，文理学院更重视教育本身，而非教育的工作用处。他提到，许多学生在本科学习生物、化学和心理学专业，然后依靠这些扎实的课程知识申请进入医学院。这印证了我对文理学院的印象。也许我们应该从单纯的就业角度中抽离出来，去思考一些生的更深远的问题。如今科技的发展越来越迅速，各种新学科的发展似乎让人有些应接不暇。因此，在工具为上的时代中，独立思考的能力格外重要。在人工智能日渐强盛的时代洪流中，摇摇晃晃的人们应当保留求知欲，这些欲求能够如同绳索般系住我们，不至于持续地失望和下坠。

I talked to the admission officer from Bard College and learned a lot. Located in the suburbs not far from the city, the campus of Bard College is quiet and safe. Students have many opportunities to work as interns. When it came to the ethos of the college, the admission officer told us eloquently that a student with initiative and self-efficacy would be a better candidate to apply for the college. They offer little job-related training because liberal arts colleges placed more emphasis on education itself than on job hunting, which is non-educational. He mentioned that many students study biology, chemistry and psychology as undergraduates and then rely on their solid knowledge foundationto apply for a medical school, which confirmed what I had predicted about a liberal arts college. Maybe we should turn away from the purely employment-orientedperspectiveand think more deeply about the bigquestions in our life. Nowadays, with the increasingly rapid development of science and technology, the advancements of various new subjects seem to make people a little overwhelmed. Therefore, in the age fullof tools, the ability to think independently is particularly important. In the era of increasingly powerful artificial intelligence, we should retain the desire and curiosityto learn, which can be like a rope to tie us up so as not to keep feeling disappointed and falling down.

在大学展中，我去了东北大学，加州大学河滨分校，巴德学院和格拉斯哥大学的招生官摊位。经过了解，我发现，这几所大学的地理位置都很不错，会带来很多的实习机会。与招生官交流后我了解到，美国的这几所大学都比较注重学生的全面发展，而不仅仅是成绩本身。对比下来，我对东北大学比较感兴趣。东北大学位于波士顿，与很多企业有合作关系，实习项目CO-OP是它的优势项目之一，学生可以受益于此，更容易找到实习工作，积累工作经验。在探索中，我渐渐明确了自己的目标。在接下来的申请中，我要更加注重探索自己，更深入地去了解自己想要什么，尽可能地向招生官展现更全面的自己。

At the college fair, I called on and talked with the admissions officers from Northeastern University, UC Riverside, Bard College, and the University of Glasgow. I found out that those colleges are all geographically well-located, so students can have many opportunities to work as interns. After talking to the admission officers, I learned thatUS universities pay more attention to the overall development of students, rather than just the grades themselves. By contrast, I was most interested in Northeastern University. Located in Boston, it has been a cooperative partner with many enterprises. Students may benefit from its CO-OP program, one of its advantageous internship programs, and it is easier to find a job working as an intern and to accumulate work experience. By exploring at the college fair, I came to realize my own goals. In my application season to come, I will do more self-exploration, try further to find out what I want, and to present myself in as many ways as possible.

在多国联申成为热门选择的当下，学校举办的多元化大学展为我们提供了更多选择。我重点探索了格拉斯哥大学。格拉斯哥大学是一所综合性强、影响范围广的老牌英国大学，它地处苏格兰，坐拥500年历史。格拉斯哥大学的四年学制与多数国家一致，其开设的专业更是齐全。格拉斯哥大学虽然历史悠久，但也与时代齐头并进，它拥有极佳的地理位置，人文环境也丰富多彩，我们能够感受到英国独有的乡土风情，欣赏美妙的音乐和美景，在惬意中生活和学习。学校还有藏书丰富的图书馆和经验丰富的教授，还为优秀学生提供荣誉课程和双学位课程。格拉斯哥大学松弛有度、劳逸结合的理念深深地吸引了我，也引发了我对申请大学的更多思考。

At a time when applying for colleges in multiple countries has become a popular choice, the diversified college fair organized by our school has provided us with more choices. I focused on exploring the University of Glasgow. Located in Scotland and with a history of 500 years, the University of Glasgow is known as a comprehensive, influential and time-honored university in the UK. Its four-year school system is consistent with that of most countries, and it offers a complete range of majors. Although the University of Glasgow has a long history, it keeps pace with the times. Geographically well-located, it boasts a rich environment where we can enjoy the unique local customs of the UK, appreciate the wonderful music and landscape, and live and study at ease. The university also has a well-stocked library and experienced professors, and offers honors programs and dual degree programs for outstanding students. Its philosophy of striking a balance between work and rest deeply attracts me, and has made me think more about college application.
