走进耶鲁大学 第44期:住宿生活(2)(在线收听

 For the academic part, besides curriculums offered by the College, the residential colleges also offer courses which are taught by scholars from Yale and from other academic institutions, as well as by poets, playwrights, and individuals who work in government, business, journalism, or film. Yale faculty members from a broad spectrum of disciplines are associated with each residential college. Faculty fellows are in residence at each of the colleges and are available as a resource to students. Many faculty fellows act as departmental representatives and give personalized advice to students majoring in their particular fields of study. Each residential college also has a math and science tutor and a writing tutor who maintain regular office hours. Students may visit these tutors without prior appointment.

针对学业部分,除了由耶鲁学院开设的课程外,每所住宿学院都会开设一些课程, 这些课程由耶鲁学者、其它学术机构的学者、诗人、剧作家以及来自政府、商业、新闻及影视部门的人士讲授。来自各种专业的教职员都分属于各个住宿学院。教职员工都住在各自的住宿学院内,学生可以随时接触到他们。很多教职员工同时也担任专业代表,向本专业学生提供个人建议。此外,每个住宿学院都还有一位全日制的数理辅导老师和写作辅导老师,学生可以随时去找他们而不用提前预约。

For the extracurricular activities, there are countless ways to become involved in residential college life. All the colleges have active theatre groups that stage productions from Broadway-style musicals to student-written one act plays. String quartets, jazz bands, chamber orchestras and folk groups are commonly organized within the colleges, as are literary magazines, newsletters, and photo journals. The intramural athletic program pits residential colleges against each other in friendly, spirited contests. Within each college is a college council, with a social activities committee to plan events and an athletic committee to organize the intramural programs. Each college elects two representatives to the Yale College Council (YCC), where they represent their college in matters affecting the Yale community as a whole.
对于课外活动部分,学生有许许多多的融人住宿学院生活的方式。每所学院都有活跃的戏剧小组演出百老汇风格的音乐剧或是学生自己写的独幕剧。学生们常常组合成弦乐四重奏乐团、爵士乐队、室内管弦乐队及通俗组合,这就像文艺杂志、内部简讯和图片期刊一样普遍。校内运动项目使各个住宿学院在友好、活泼的气氛下竞赛。 每所住宿学院都有一个院自治会,院自治会下设有分管策划活动的社会活动委员会以及分管组织校内体育项目的体育委员会。每个学院选派两名代表参加耶鲁学院委员会, 他们代表自己所属的学院,并最终影响耶鲁的决策。
Because of the sense of community fostered by each residential college, more than eighty-five percent of undergraduates elect to live on campus for all four years.
正是有了每所住宿学院培养的集体感,80%的本科生选择四年都住在校园里。
