开学临近

暑假生活也告一段落

有人说“假期是超过对手的最好时机”

这个暑假有三位同学申请到了

耶鲁大学、芝加哥大学、布朗大学夏校

今天他们要与大家分享

暑期参与线上学习的经历

一起通过他们的体验

来给你的新学期找一些动力吧~

PART-01

芝加哥大学

其实这三周的夏校给我留下最大的印象就是“累”。这也许就是大学强度的课程吧！我参加的是由芝大心理系主任来上的“Intro to Biological Psychology”。

每天要读50-70页的教材，听100多页的PPT和完成2个半小时连续的课。当时一开始的时候真的特别的折磨我，也让我特别痛苦，也曾后悔过参加这门偏生物一点的心理课，因为我的生物和化学基础真的还蛮差的。

不过后面想想这种压力对我来说也是一种成长吧！3周的高强度课程，3个60多道题的大考试，自己整理的8千多字的study guide，好多个熬夜复习准备考试的夜晚，在现在看确实也是一个比较有意思的经历。

在这我体验到了真正世界顶尖学府的课程的严谨和老师清晰的逻辑，同时也感受到了老师和同学们真正对心理的热情和喜爱，也更细节的学到了人体的各种感官，和更微观的信息的传输，荷尔蒙，压力的构成，和更细致的了解到了不同的疾病的biological foundation。

还是收获蛮多，蛮开心的。只可惜最后拿到的是A- 差0.4分到A，有点难过的。

PART-02

耶鲁大学

I would say it is the best time in my life so far. I fell I find the me that enjoyed sharing in English and was energetic and enthusiastic. I met so many wonderful people, including not limited to Tyler, Shu yi, and family members. I learned a lot from the lectures, seminars, and workshop, definitely not only the knowledge itself.

It was definitely the first time I met this many people(16) from all over world at the same time at the Family Time. I was moved when a girl mentioned she liked to travel, and the place she wanted to go the most is China because she has been learning Mandarin since a young age. The instructor of the session is majored politics and economy of China, and the object he chose to share was a book in Chinese. The two group mates I talked also had some connection with Hong Kong. It was exciting to talk to peers with different experience and hobbies.

In the Keynote lecture, the instructor taught us about the fundamental steps to solve global challenges through her experience. One important idea is to “think globally and act locally.” She also give many useful pieces of advice about making changes. My tears dropped when she said there was one teacher asked her situation while the basement she lived was flooded. The lecture officially ended in 0:30 am, but I stayed to 2am to listen all the Q&A. The lecture and answers were so inspiring that they actually solve many of my confuses. The lesson worth much more than the lecture itself.

Something I like about YYGS is that instead of purely lectures, it allows students to engage in asking questions and multiple forms of discussion. The mindset that they, the program and the instructors, are open to questions and inclusive for different voices is mind-blowing for me. People do not worry that their authority discredits when others pose questions.

PART-03

布朗大学

这两周夏校上完最大的感受就是压力很大。因为precollege的夏校是模拟大学课程的课业和难度，所以每天都会有很多要求读的论文和写的response。

我觉得这个夏校很有意义的一点就是要求每个同学都要阅读其他同学的文章，然后做出自己的理解来回复对方，这样一来，大家就有很多机会可以讨论自己对学习资料的看法，从中学到更多新的知识和不同的观点。

最大的收获就是读到了看到了很多有意思的东西。我上的这个夏校内容是通过现代媒体文化中女巫的形象来分析性别以及种族的重要性。

在这两周的课里面，我们除了读了很多论文，还看了许多电影、诗歌、音乐视频，艺术等。我们也分析到了全球不同文化背景下对同一个现象的表达。
