1. Campus life of Wake Forest University Business School
1, accommodation
The proportion of Wake Forest students living on campus is about 76%. This is because the school has a rigid requirement that all students should live in dormitories in the first three years of college. There is no special reason, so the dormitory in the school is sufficient, and most of the buildings in the school are basically dormitories.
Wake Forest University offers freshmen the choice of single/double rooms. The dormitory is equipped with free laundry room, media room, study room, kitchen/lounge and table tennis table. There is also a grand piano in the lobby on the first floor. It is particularly worth mentioning that the dormitory laundry room is equipped with LaundryView automatic reminder system, and students can directly obtain the laundry/drying progress through mobile phones, computers and other equipment. It usually takes only 5- 10 minutes to walk from the dormitory to the classroom. The teaching building is close and relatively easy to identify.
Step 2 feed
In terms of diet, Wake Forest University students choose the meal plan provided by the school according to their own needs, including meals, drinks, old drinks and food dollars in the school cafeteria. Students can use the number of meals and the balance of meal cards in any fast food restaurant on campus with their student cards. In addition, there is a regular restaurant on campus: Shorty's. This restaurant provides the most orthodox American local dishes, and the service is very good. It is open until three o'clock in the morning.
3. Classrooms and majors
Wake Forest is a school that attaches great importance to undergraduate education, which can be seen from the curriculum arrangement. We attach great importance to small class education. Classes with less than 20 students account for 58.6%, classes with 20 to 49 students account for 40.3%, and those with more than 50 students only account for about 1%.
In terms of majors, Wake Forest is excellent in business and medicine, and most students will choose these two majors. Among them, the business school has four majors: accounting, management, finance and number quotient. Then, for example, chemistry and biology are also the majors that many people will choose. Among them, the best project in our school is MSA, which is a project to obtain a master's degree in accounting within five years. This project also ranks high in the world, and the CPA pass rate is also very high, about 90% to 100%. Wake Forest University, whose engineering major has just opened recently. 20 16 has no engineering major and is relatively new.
Second, Wake Forest University study abroad life common sense
1, electricity consumption
The voltage in the United States is 1 10V, and that in China is 220V. Therefore, electrical appliances with rated voltage of 220V cannot be used in the United States generally, and electric heating equipment may be available, but it belongs to serious undervoltage work, which will shorten the service life of the equipment. Electrical appliances with an adaptive power supply of 1 10V-240V can be brought to the United States. The layout of the three-phase plug in the United States is the layout of most desktop computer chassis power supplies, that is, a cylindrical pin and two parallel flat pins, which is completely different from the commonly used three-phase plug in China. Two-phase sockets in the United States vary in size, with one side slightly larger than the other, but two-phase plugs are compatible in China.
2. Payment method
Credit cards are widely used in America, but you still need to prepare some cash. Because some stores only accept cash payment under a certain consumption amount in order to evade taxes. In order to establish your own credit record, it is recommended to apply for a credit card issued by a bank in the United States as soon as possible. If you apply for a debit card first, be careful not to use it for online transactions.
Step 3 call
If you don't need a telephone line to surf the Internet, you can buy a mobile phone directly, and you can easily dial a low-priced IP calling card with your mobile phone. In the United States, mobile phones are given away for free with the service plan. If you think that a free mobile phone is not good, you can buy one at your own expense. The cost of mobile phone is about $50/month. It should be noted that the telephone charges beyond the free minutes are very expensive, 40 cents/minute, so be careful not to "explode".
Step 4 surf the internet
Internet access in the United States basically includes: dial-up, DSL, cable TV, cable, wireless and satellite. At present, DSL and CATV cables are widely used. General price: DSL20 USD/month, cable TV 50 USD/month. Many schools have wireless networks on campus, and students can use them for free after applying for an account; Some also provide dial-up internet accounts for free use by students at school.
Step 5 wash clothes
Americans don't have the habit of washing clothes and basking in the sun. After washing, use a dryer to dry. As a result, the clothes have shrunk a lot. So when buying clothes here, pay attention to buying bigger ones. Most apartments don't have a washing machine in every room. Instead, they set aside a laundry room with several coin-operated washing machine and dryers for residents to use. If you think this public washing machine is unsanitary, ask the landlord if you can install a washing machine at home. It is not recommended to install without the consent of the landlord.
