At the end of the entire training period, Xu Manman's TOEFL score came out, 114 points. The other two students scored 89 and 106 points respectively, which is also very good.
After all, Xu Manman doesn’t know anyone else except the staff from her own country, so she will have to live in the dormitory for at least the first two months of the first semester.
By the time Xu Manman officially started school, there were only eight classmates left in the entire Columbia University, including her. Because they were all in different departments, the school did not assign them the same dormitory.
Xu Manman's dormitory is more like a mixed suite. She lives in a double room with two single beds by the window and against the walls on both sides. The mattresses are very high, and there is a cabinet underneath to store clothes. There is a desk at the head of the bed, and the bathroom, living room and kitchen are all shared.
Xu Manman looked around inside and out. It was no wonder that everyone in the country wanted to leave. The living environment of this dormitory was much better than the houses allocated by large domestic factories.
The kitchen is equipped with gas and an exhaust fan, the bathroom has a shower and flush toilet, and there is heating indoors.
Back in the room, Xu Manman chose the bed on the right, opened her suitcase and began to pack her clothes.
Before she came, she didn't actually ask her mother to pack too many clothes, mainly because of the cultural differences between the two places. The most fashionable clothes there would still make her look like a country bumpkin when she wore them here.
Because of racial differences, some strange looks are inevitable, but some can be avoided, and Xu Manman doesn't want them to happen.
Before Chen Ming left, Xu Manman took him out to a cheap store and bought him a few sets of clothes, which were enough to last for a month or so.
While shopping, she also took the opportunity to test her own check-in system. The bank check-in was in US dollars. This system is really global.
Before Xu Manman finished tidying up her clothes, she heard some noise in the living room outside. There were three rooms in total, and it might not be her roommate. Xu Manman did not go out and continued with what she was doing.
Sure enough, not long after, I heard the sound of a door opening and closing, and then the living room became quiet.
After packing her luggage and making her bed, Xu Manman calculated what she was missing, put on her coat and backpack, and prepared to go out for a walk. When she opened the door, she happened to meet the eyes of a blonde, white-skinned girl opposite her.
The blonde girl stared at her for a few seconds before coming to her senses. "Hello, my name is Joseline. Are you... Japanese?"
Although she was a little unhappy about this speculation, Xu Manman still curled her lips and said, "No, I'm Chinese. My name is Molly, and my Chinese name is Xu Manman."
"Sumo?" Joseline repeated it with a less than standard pronunciation.
Xu Manman didn't insist on this, "Just call me Molly."
"Oh, Molly, you speak English so well, you don't sound foreign at all."
Xu Manman: ...To foreigners, she is indeed a foreigner.
The people on the other side were quite friendly, which made Xu Manman feel a little less nervous about the new environment.
After a conversation, Xu Manman quickly learned that the blonde Josephine opposite was also a student in the Business School, a sophomore, studying accounting.
"I'm going to the store to do some shopping, do you want to come?"
Joselin shook her head and said, "I need to clean up the house. Sorry, I can't join you."
"fine."
After leaving the dormitory, Xu Manman met many students carrying luggage on the road. Some of them looked at her with curiosity as a yellow person, while others ignored her.
Xu Manman walked into the store, staring at the eyes that made her feel a little uncomfortable.
If she were to say what makes her happiest after going abroad, it is that she doesn’t need a ticket to buy things and there is no quantity limit.
When she returned to the dormitory carrying a large plastic bag, her roommate had also arrived.
Caroline, a Caucasian woman with golden brown hair, is tall and neatly dressed. Although she is only a junior marketing student, she already has the aura of an elite goddess.
He was not very enthusiastic towards his roommate Xu Manman. It would be more like ignoring her rather than rejecting her.
This situation actually made Xu Manman feel a lot more relaxed. They could just do their own things and not disturb each other, so that they could live in peace.
Over the next two days, Xu Manman also waited for the other roommates in the suite to arrive one after another.
In the room across the street, Josephine’s roommate was a brown-skinned Indian named Livia, also a sophomore majoring in accounting.
