Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 399: Enthusiastic Classmates
Speaking of which, MIT almost disappeared in the long river of history.
During the Great Depression, MIT was considered to merge with its neighbor on the Charles River, Harvard University.
But in the end, under fierce protests from students, the plan was forced to be cancelled.
Walking in this campus full of neoclassical architectural style, Chen Zhou finally became interested in appreciating it.
In fact, Chen Zhou doesn’t understand what “neoclassical architectural style” is.
It was only after listening to Liu Maosheng's introduction that I knew this style.
To give an example, Chen Zhou thinks the Foreign Trade Building in Shanghai is of this style.
However, listening to Liu Maosheng's introduction, compared to Harvard University's campus.
MIT's campus is more like a monastery.
Whether it is the academic style or the layout of campus buildings, it gives people a sense of rigor.
Listening to Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu's introduction, Chen Zhou asked in confusion: "Why are you two so familiar with this?"
Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Later, Liu Maosheng said to Chen Zhou, "Because we come here often, and I told you, we both drink water from the Charles River."
Chen Zhou frowned slightly, still a little confused.
At this time, Yang Yiyi suddenly said, "You two's girlfriends are from MIT, right?"
Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu were both stunned and asked in unison: "How did you know?"
Yang Yiyi looked at the two people's reactions and knew that she was right.
She smiled and said, "Who would go to the school next door all the time for no reason?"
Chen Zhou also reacted at this time: "Yes, Yiyi is still smart!"
Yang Yiyi glanced at Chen Zhou and said, "So, girls' insight is extraordinary."
Not long after this little episode, Chen Zhou and his team arrived at the reporting location.
Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu were waiting outside, while Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi took all the necessary documents and went in to go through the reporting procedures.
Following the instructions on the admission materials, Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi quickly found the registration office.
This is the unified admission registration location, and it is not subdivided according to different subjects.
After all, there are not that many graduate students at MIT.
Yang Yiyi went ahead of Chen Zhou to handle the relevant admission procedures.
The person in charge smiled politely at Yang Yiyi, and then checked the materials brought by Yang Yiyi according to the procedures.
After confirming that the materials were correct, the processing staff politely handed Yang Yiyi the relevant items.
I have a student ID, a dorm key, and some information...
Then, the processing staff said that the procedures were completed and Yang Yiyi could go to the dormitory by herself and wait for the subsequent courses.
Yang Yiyi also smiled politely at the staff member, said "thank you", then moved forward and gave her seat to Chen Zhou.
The processing staff smiled politely at Chen Zhou at first and said that they needed to check Chen Zhou's materials.
But when Chen Zhou handed him the materials, he read them.
The expression of this staff member was different.
"You are Chen Zhou? Are you really Chen Zhou? The Chinese student who proved Cramer's theorem here last year?"
Faced with this series of questions, Chen Zhou said helplessly: "Maybe... You are looking at my materials..."
The clerk did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he continued, "Oh my God, I really didn't expect you to report today. It seems that my luck is really too good."
"I'll have to brag about this to Hals later. He's the prover of Cramer's theorem and Debov's theorem, and it was actually me who handled his admission procedures, hahahaha..."
"Come to think of it, when you proved Cramer's theorem on the spot, it was simply so shocking..."
Chen Zhou's expression was a little strange. He didn't expect that just completing the admission procedures would make the man in front of him so excited that he talked to himself.
Yang Yiyi on the side also looked at the staff helplessly.
Who would have thought that just arriving at MIT in a foreign country and going through the admission procedures would attract so much attention.
"Oh, a double graduate student in mathematics and physics?" After carefully examining Chen Zhou's information, the processing staff exclaimed, "As expected, he is someone who can solve world-class mathematical problems. He is really amazing!"
Because Chen Zhou is a double master's and doctoral student in mathematics and physics, the procedures are more complicated than those of Yang Yiyi.
Therefore, the two of them listened to a few more of the manager's excited words.
After completing the formalities , the staff enthusiastically handed the items to Chen Zhou one by one.
And enthusiastically tell him the function of each item.
Finally, after enthusiastically telling Chen Zhou the location of the dormitory, he asked, "Do you need me to take you to the dormitory?"
Chen Zhou took the things and said with a smile to the overly enthusiastic handling staff: "Thank you, no need, someone will take me there."
After saying that, Chen Zhou took Yang Yiyi away.
Behind them, the clerk's voice came again: "If you need anything later, you can come to me. My name is Paul Clayton, and I am..."
Chen Zhou didn't hear the voice behind him clearly. He just felt that this person was really a little too enthusiastic.
This Boll was none other than the student who had dragged his girlfriend to run to see Chen Zhou and witness history.
After walking out of the administrative building, Chen Zhou looked at Yang Yiyi beside him and asked softly, "Where is your dormitory?"
Yang Yiyi took out the key, took a look at it, and said with a smile: "Where do you want me to be?"
Chen Zhou was slightly stunned, then realized something.
He asked in surprise: "In the same dormitory building?"
Yang Yiyi nodded gently: "It should be the opposite door."
As she spoke, Yang Yiyi handed the key to Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou took it and took a look, it was indeed, the door opposite!
Now, I can visit you often in the future.
I just don't know how many people are in this dormitory?
As Chen Zhou was thinking about it, he and Yang Yiyi walked up to Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu.
During the time they were going through the selection procedures, there was already a girl beside each of them.
Both girls are typical European and American women with fair skin.
However, according to Chen Zhou's aesthetic, it cannot be called beautiful.
At least in front of Yang Yiyi, Chen Zhou felt that there was no comparison at all.
Liu Maosheng stopped flirting with his girlfriend, turned to look at Chen Zhou and asked, "Have you completed the formalities ?"
Chen Zhou nodded: "It's all done."
Liu Maosheng said: "Okay, then we'll take you to the dormitory. Where is your dormitory?"
Chen Zhou glanced at the words on the key, then looked at the leader's freshman handbook, and said softly, "Edgerton House."
Liu Maosheng looked at Yang Yiyi again: "Schoolmate, what about yours?"
Yang Yiyi looked at Chen Zhou: "Same as him."
