The campus is large and beautiful – with “one thousand” trees. (In Chinese literature, the term one thousand is often used and means a large number/many thousands.) I have heard that 50,000 students attend. The classrooms are very modern, with technology in every room. On the down side, the acoustics are poor which makes listening to heavily accented English more difficult. The instructors are eager to help us learn, and the combination of classes reinforce learning of Chinese. (For example, in calligraphy you learn the meaning of characters while learning to create them artistically).
Many signs around campus contain the Chinese characters for this phrase: “Possess Lofty Ideals, Noble Character, Glorious Feats, and Immortal Works.” Imagine seeing that every day of your campus life! It's bound to sink in. (Connie)
