Let me talk about my alma mater, Soochow University, from a personal perspective:
1. The reason why I applied for Soochow University: Because I studied a textbook describing Suzhou gardens in junior high school. I yearned for the city of Suzhou
2. Later, I did not hesitate to apply for Soochow University. Soochow University did not disappoint me. As the best university in Suzhou, Suzhou University is famous. Needless to say, the student dormitories for undergraduates There are four people in one room, two graduate students in one room, and one doctorate student in one room. The dormitories are air-conditioned and have separate bathrooms, but you are not allowed to cook. The door of the school dormitory is access controlled, and you need to swipe your card to enter and exit. The school requires you to bring your ID (student ID card and electronic student card are acceptable), and the security guard at the entrance needs to check. The school is large, so it is recommended to bring your own electric car or bicycle. You can buy second-hand ones from the seniors, which is economical and affordable.
3. The school has several campuses, each with different disciplines. Personally, I feel that the one with the best scenery must be the main campus of Soochow University. The buildings inside are very characteristic of the Republic of China. The Lawn Bell Tower is a must-choose photo background for students from the main campus and the East Campus of Soochow University every year. The East Campus and the main campus are connected by a Dongwu Bridge. And the exit of Suzhou Metro Line 1 is the main gate of Soochow University.
The transportation is also very convenient, and the main school is very close to Pingjiang Road, the most literary and artistic area in Suzhou. You can go to see the literary and artistic freshness. The main school is also close to Guanqian Street and the Humble Administrator's Garden Suzhou Museum. It's close, so it's very convenient to go sightseeing.
It is a very pleasant thing to be able to shuttle back and forth between the main campus and the east campus when you have nothing to do, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter. Moreover, the headquarters also has an alumni forest, planted by Su alumni, in the characteristic small mound of the headquarters.
Since the Dushu Lake campus was newly built later, the teaching facilities inside are naturally better than those in other campuses. The scenery of the Dushu Lake campus is also very good, with a modern atmosphere everywhere, especially The representative lotus-shaped library. As for other campuses, I haven’t been there, so I can’t comment.
4. Regarding food, Suzhou University’s cafeteria has quite a variety of dishes. There are many options to choose from, including fast food and various specialty windows, such as Turkish barbecue, roast duck with rice, spicy hot pot, Lanzhou ramen, etc. The prices are also very reasonable and affordable, and the aunt in the cafeteria also offers many dishes. , it is much more cost-effective than outside. Even though I have graduated many years ago, I still occasionally go back to the school cafeteria to eat.
5. Regarding the teachers, my teachers are very serious and responsible for the students, and the teaching quality is so good. It goes without saying that test scores usually consist of regular sign-ins and final exams, so try not to be absent from class. Each campus of the school has a library with a rich collection of books. You can go and read if you have nothing to do. Some campuses have swimming tubes. You can go swimming in the summer. The school also has various clubs waiting for you to join. The gymnasium is also good. There are various activities every week. Those who like sports can participate.
