Appraise My New Campus and the Old
(our new campus is grey all in and all out….)
Since I unpacked on the new campus, now and then, people would ask me the same question:“Between the old and the new campus, which one do you prefer?” However, my answer varied from time to time. As I get more familiar with the new environment, I get to know more about its merits and short-comings. And the same feeling goes for the old campus, too. The two are violently different. Differences lie mainly in two aspects:
(the new)
Most obviously, the locations have great influence on the two respectively, especially the influence comes from their different surroundings. It won’t take more than one yuan to get to the city centre from the old campus. But it does take me five time the money plus two hours’ travel from the new. Outside the new campus, there are no super malls or shopping centers, which are all available around the old campus. Indeed, what come into sight are big mountains and dusty roads there.

The thing I misses most is the plants the old has. And it’s very strange that no matter what plant our new campus puts into the soil, it dies before long.
However, the on-campus condition is much more better than that of the old one. New buildings, classrooms, more advanced facilities and delicately designed gardens with man-made rivers, all these components provide us a beautiful environment to study and live in. Moreover, the dormitories are better furnished on the new campus. We have TV sets, washing rooms and neatly tiled floors, none of which is available in an old dorm.
