　　美國留學履歷之談 復活常犯的四個毛病

　　新的情況，新的生存，初來乍到，留學生存的開端總會趕上一點小貧苦，做甚麽不免都邑有點驚慌失措。若何節儉留學開支?若何選到更好的課程?若何更好地開端你的留學新生存?這裏小編從外網扒了一點點材料，給眾人總結一些“白叟們”的履歷之談。

　　When I first came to my school, I spent nearly $300 on textbooks, because this was what I always did at home. Later on, I realized that I could get them somewhere else, for a much cheaper price.Some of my international student friends did not take course registration seriously, and then ended up being miserable for months.

　　新學期開端，剛到黌舍，我就花了300美元買齊了須要的教材，由於在我的國度，新學期的第一件事便是買教材。但是，厥後我才曉得，實在在其他之處買這些書的價錢更廉價。我的一些留門生同夥沒有賣力看待課程註冊，然後接下來的幾個月都在苦楚中渡過。

　　Many international students start their college careers in the U.S. without having any prior knowledge of how everything is going to be. As a result, they may experience a lot of wishing they had done things differently if they'd only better known what to expect. If international students were to know what mistakes they were supposed to avoid in the beginning, they would have a much easier transition into college.

　　大部門的留門生在開端他們的異國大學課業前，沒有對行將開端的生存提早做懂得。成果，直到他們大概閱歷了許多不勝以後才懊悔當初沒有提早做作業。假如留門生們一開端提早對他們大概會犯的某些毛病有個預設，他們的大學新生存會舉行得更順遂。

　　Here are a few tips to help you stay out of some common mistakes that international freshmen usually make:

　　這裏枚舉幾個小貼士，願望可以幫到列位留學復活防止一些常見毛病：

　　Mistake 1: Buying All Your Textbooks From the Bookstore

　　Textbooks from the bookstore are new, nice and clean. Some may even be wrapped in a fancy plastic box that makes them look so appealing.

　　However, you should try to buy as few textbooks from the bookstore as possible. Since those books are new, they are always sold at their original price, which can sometimes be between $100 and $300 per book. And you are not going to need just one book. These are no doubt much higher prices than textbooks sold in other countries.

　　The best way to do limit your expenses is to research or email your professor beforehand about which texts are going to be used in the course. From there, you can either borrow old books from the library or rent them online for a much better deal. For some international students, converting $100 to $300 to their currency will give a very scary number. Thus, it is important to invest your money in the right place.

　　The only case that you should consider getting textbooks from the bookstore is if you are uncertain about whether you will stay in a class or drop out of it. Normally, the college bookstore would allow you to return books within two weeks with full refund. Otherwise, it won't hurt to get to know someone in class and borrow their textbooks for the first few classes.

　　常出錯誤一 全部的教材都在書店裏買

　　一樣平常書店裏的教材更新、更好、更清潔。有些大概還包裝精巧，看起來更有吸引力。

　　但是，你應當盡量少地從書店買教材。即使那些書都是極新的，價錢也是正常售價，一樣平常每本在100美元到300美元之間。然則，你要曉得你須要的書不止一本，無疑，這些書的價錢比其他國度貴很多。

　　節儉開支最佳的辦法就是先查一下，大概給你的傳授發郵件提早問一下哪些教材是這個課程須要用到的教材。然後你可以去藏書樓借到相幹書籍，大概從網上租借，如許更劃算。究竟，將100美元到300美元兌換成國民幣，照樣一個蠻嚇人的數字。是以，把錢花在準確之處很主要。

　　有一種情形你可以斟酌從書店買教材，那便是你不肯定你是不是會上這個課程照樣大概會退出這個課。一樣平常情形下，只如果兩周之內，書店是可以全額退書的。別的，剛開端的幾節課，你也能夠跟同上這個課程的同窗借用一下教材。

　　Mistake 2: Missing Course Registration

　　At a U.S. college, the course registration process is one moment you never want to miss. Do research by asking your friends or seniors about the courses that you would like to take, learning about the professors who might interest you and thinking about the subjects that might fulfill your academic requirements and try your best to get into the classes that you want.

　　Missing registration can put you into a very unpleasant situation, whether it is being assigned a professor you do not like, or an extremely hard class that will last for about four months of your life.

　　For those looking forward to internships, choosing courses will have to be even more deliberate. Not only will you need to find a good professor to help your overall understanding of the class and your GPA, you will also need to get your foot into some good sections very early, as getting an internship can be a competition between you and other people.

　　常出錯誤二  錯過了課程註冊

　　在美國的大學裏，課程註冊階段絕對是你最不想錯過的工作。經由過程訊問你的同夥大概相幹課程高年級的同窗，對你想選的課程做一些查詢拜訪，研討一下傳授會不會對你有興致、課程能不克不及知足你的學術需求，盡你最大的盡力選到你想要的課。

　　錯過了課程註冊，你大概會墮入很欠好的地步。假如錯過了，接下來的幾個月大概會很苦楚，你大概會被分配給一個你不愛好的傳授，大概進修一個異常難的課程。

　　對那些追求練習機遇的門生來講，選課就要加倍深圖遠慮。你不但得找一個可以或許幫你周全熟悉課程、並能讓你獲得的好的學業成就的好傳授，你還得及早打仗相幹模塊，如許在與其他的門生的競爭中，你才會有上風。

　　Mistake 3. Only Making Friends With Freshmen or Other International Students

　　It is understandable that you want to stay in your comfort zone by hanging out with your classmates or other international students. However, it is best to always befriend some upperclassmen, as they are generally more mature and responsible individuals.

　　Spending time with those older than you will bring you a much broader perspective and academic experience. Moreover, when they graduate and go out to work in the corporate world, you will already have established a good network of people to connect with.

　　常出錯誤三  只跟復活大概其他留門生交同夥

　　你想跟你的同窗大概留門生胡混，呆在本身的安寧圈裏，這可以懂得。然則，你最佳能多與高年級的門生打交道，由於他們廣泛更成熟、更有義務心。

　　跟那些比你年長的人打交道能讓你的奇跡更寬敞，也能讓你的打仗的學術題目更多。並且，當他們卒業後加入了事情，你已樹立好了一個優越的人際幹系網。

　　Mistake 4. Being Under- or Overinvolved

　　Balance is everything in U.S. college life. Some international students find themselves joining so many clubs and organizations on campus that they can hardly have their work done. Others refuse to participate in any school activities and choose to stay home and spend time with their computer instead.

　　Neither of those is going to benefit you in the long run. To find the balance in your college lifestyle besides going to classes every day, you should get to know yourself by doing a lot of activities and picking out what best interests you. This way, you will be academically and socially successful in a foreign environment.

　　常出錯誤四  課外運動過少或過量

　　在美國的大學生存，均衡很主要。有些留門生加入了很多的社團構造，天天都是做不完的工作。也有些人謝絕加入任何黌舍運動，只是本身呆著上上彀。

　　從久遠來看，上面兩種方法都弗成取。均衡課余生存，你應當多加入一些運動，然後找到本身最感興致的事。如許，你能力在這這片外洋的地盤獲得學業與社會生存雙贏的勝利。
