Time Flys(2)-Bnuep

IMG_0574走在北师大珠海的校道上,擦身而过的是一张张陌生的面孔,唯一不变是那美丽和谐的大学校园,还有是同学们脸上那熟悉的大学生表情——简单,轻松和向往。的确是“人面不知何处去,桃花依旧笑春风”。
IMG_0560Here left a lot of our  footprint. 还记得以前还经常哼着westlife的歌曲,“We had joy. We had fun. We had seasons in the sun. But the wine and song, like the seasons out of gone.”分校的每一个角落,总能让我想起过去的历史,那时那景刹那间像幻灯片在脑海里播放着。
IMG_0586坐在图书馆大门上的同学,图书馆大厅的座位(年复一年,座位上常坐着带着梦想而艰苦拼搏的同学。),树荫下的情侣,肩并肩谈笑风生的“兄弟姐妹”,匆忙的身影,球场上的快乐……一切都让我难以忘怀。我拼命地按下快门,我只是想把眼前的一切保存下来。可是,感受又岂能在照片中描绘出来……美丽的北师大珠海分校,我都深深地储存在回忆里。

Time Flys(1)

重新回到北师大珠海分校,虽然离别短短一年,但变化还是挺大的。走在熟悉的校道,留恋着让人难以忘记的迷人环境,到处寻找着过去的回忆……突然间,我才发现除了那认识的几位同学外,路上却是那一张张年轻而又陌生的面孔,唯一不变的是绿油油环境衬托下屹立着教学楼。“人面不知何处去,桃花依旧笑春风”……

IMG_0582 第一站是离别一年的北京师范大学珠海分校,接待我的是一位师妹谭博元。交谈中,得知学院的教学模式,学习内容都有了很大的改革,十分贴近市场需求……而教职员工也变化了不少。希望不动产学院越办越好,人才辈出!

IMG_0514 15栋的阿姨依旧留守着,可是15栋已是女生楼了。前面的树长高了不少,以前还老想着等树木长大了,和朋友一起,坐在树下看书,聊天……以后或者会出现我梦想中的影子。希望阿姨工作顺利,开开心心!

IMG_0517 外院的吴少君同学和我一起走了2期到3期。3期变化不少,增加了2栋教学楼和双人间的宿舍,生活设施也越来越完善。
和吴认识是在英语角,她还是那么积极,乐观,对未来作了非常好的人生规划。祝她成功实现自己目标!

离开了珠海分校,我踏上了我的同学拜访之旅。美丽的珠海留下了很多北师大珠海分校的学子,班上的同学大概有60%选择了珠海,绝大部分还是从事着策划,销售等工作。

IMG_0521 IMG_0522 IMG_0525 IMG_0529 IMG_0534 IMG_0531 IMG_0540 IMG_0544 即使周末,大家其实也很忙。健聪,兰斌,远安明天继续上班,少敏早上6点得出发去浙江学习,而明仙则刚从湖北回来……但是大伙听说我从远方到来,都纷纷从百忙中前来相聚。很感动!看着他们,想起以前一幕幕一起的生活情景,好像那些都是昨天发生的事。大部分同学都没有变化,井峰创立了一个租售公司,美女丹丹考上了公务员,石磊没有去韩国并准备留在珠海工作,还有一些同学跳槽到了华发……那一夜,我们痛饮高歌,虽然有的人还穿着工作服,但我们又仿佛回到了大学时代……

出国留学DIY ——经验小总结

(转载本文章请在贵网站注明出处,网址,作者写了好几天的,没功劳也有苦劳吧)

择校篇(1)

大一参加新东方的TOEFL,当时的赵丽老师就对我们说,大学毕业有三条路选择,第一是就业——比较艰苦,第二是考研——比较痛苦,第三也是出国留学——毕业后的最高境界。

说到出国留学,很多人都认为这是富人拥有的特权。因为出国留学费用并不便宜:美国,英国为第一档次20~30万/年;加拿大,澳大利亚,新西兰,荷兰列第二档15~20万/年。当然能在美国拿到奖学金是最幸运的,但对于大多数工薪家庭来说,一年顶这么多可不是容易的事情。如果想想毕业后回来,投资了几十万回来那个几千元的工资,性价比不高(很多人想出国就不回来,其实这是很难的,除非是学计算机,学技术或者找个外国人结婚,像我们这些学商,学管理之类一般是留不下的)。留学就像是在买衣服,物美价廉,真的要花一番心思……

当时上完新东方TOEFL班,也大概了解到出国留学的相关信息,结合自己家庭的实际情况,出国梦几乎破灭。第一,投资巨大,还本无期。第二,自己只是工薪家庭,毕业后没有多少关系能担任职高薪职位。第三,出国留学的人越来越多,洋文凭的光环也没有以前那么闪亮。要找一个性价比高的地方可真要花一些心思!打开全球高校500强排行榜看,排在里面也有来自不同发达国家的高校。瑞典,丹麦,芬兰,挪威,冰岛和马耳他等等,一些国家既熟悉但又缺乏了解。德国和法国的免学费教育已早有听闻,但由于留学人员日益增多,这些国家的财政压力增加,所以两国的一些学校已经开始征收学费了。其实北欧五国也一样有着类似的政策,不过丹麦在06年就开始收学费了,瑞典和芬兰正在酝酿……经过详细调查,在瑞典,芬兰,挪威一年总费用5万~6万(冰岛大学很有名气,但太冷,所以没有考虑),留学费用低廉,很适合像我这样的工薪家庭。至于有什么名校?瑞典的斯德哥尔摩大学,隆德大学,哥德堡大学,乌普萨拉大学,瑞典皇家理工大学,查尔姆斯理工大学等等,乌普萨拉大学是北欧最古老的学校,1477年建校,也是诺贝尔奖获得者最多的高校之一。芬兰的赫尔辛基理工大学,赫尔辛基艺术与设计大学,赫尔辛基商学院(现在3校合并为Aalto大学),赫尔辛基大学等等。挪威的奥斯陆大学,挪威科技和自然大学,卑尔根大学,挪威农业大学等等。还有大家不熟悉但排名前100的马耳他大学(马耳他是地中海里面的一个岛国,旅游业为主)。除了性价比,大家都会考虑的是这些国家的国民英语能力。在English Skills-At least conversation level (Europeans and languages; European Commission 2005)的报告中,后面的是瑞典85%,丹麦83%,挪威(missing),芬兰(60%)(而小国马耳他则89%)。但是,我们熟悉的国家德国51%,法国34%,意大利29%。相对其他非英语国家而言,北欧各国也比较高度国际化很多。还有的是国家竞争力如何?北欧都是小国家,人口最多的瑞典也900多万人,但小国里却出现了很多国际知名的品牌,像家知户晓的NOKIA,Ericsson,Absolut Vodka,UPM,LEGO等等。而且,我们也可以从OECD经合组织的报告中看出,北欧各国在世界竞争力的各项指标中分列前10,在创新性这项指标中,芬兰,瑞典更为列第一和第二。最后,一个比较关注的问题是社会安全问题。可以肯定的说,如果北欧社会安全算糟糕的,世界上没有一个更安全,更廉洁的国家了。还有的是,这些国家人人平等,不论男女,不论种族,不分肤色,所有工作都一视同仁,只要勤奋,总是赢得尊敬的:)

一个国家的强大和它自身的国民教育分不开,这是毋庸置疑的定论。从性价比,从国民的英语水平,从国家竞争力,从社会安全等等问题上考虑,本人最终选择了圣诞老人的故乡——芬兰。 Wink

择校篇(2

当选择了一个国家或一个区域后,然后就是根据自己的专业,兴趣去选择有合适和相关专业的名校。本人是学房地产经营管理,对房地产及相关专业有着浓厚的兴趣,所以选择了芬兰赫尔辛基理工大学(TKK)的房地产投资融资(Real Estate Investment and Finance)和瑞典皇家理工学院(KTH)的房地产管理(Real Estate Management)作为目标。一个比较关注的问题是能不能跨专业学习?其实如果是专业相关性比较大,跨专业是可以的。但如果专业跨度太大,本科学计算机申请经济管理类的研究生就比较难了。既然是名校,竞争性肯定比较大,而且竞争对手不只是局限在国内,而是全世界有着共同目标的同学。据本人了解,一些高校选择学生的参考标准如下,IELTS成绩达到该校该专业要求(最低要求6.5),然后是大学专业是否对口,大学成绩,获得什么奖项,发表什么论文或创作(商科要求GMAT成绩,有的理工类学校要求GRE)等等。他们在录取时进行公式化将以上项目进行加权平均,最后录取名额数内排在前面的同学。所以大家千万别走入误区,如果有志要出国留学,大学成绩一定要重视和认真对待!通常大学所有学科平均分达到80分以上比较保险。

 

PS:我没有怂恿大家去北欧留学的意思,到哪里留学都是个人的选择,所以本作者很尊重每一位有志出国留学的决定,我也只是根据个人实际情况做出的决定。

 

材料准备篇

既然选定了学校,然后就是要看该校对申请者的要求。参考了众多学校的录取要求,以下几项都是必须准备的材料:1、英语能力测试成绩单,IELTS/TOEFL2、大学成绩单;3、学位学士证书(多公证一份留给签证);4、填写Application Form5、个人陈述或动机信;6、大学教授讲师推荐信最少2封。有的学校还要求GMAT或者GRE等成绩单,特别是商学院,GMAT都是必不可少的!还有的要求被公正的护照复印件;甚至高中毕业证等等。这些要看你要申请的学校的要求了。

一般来说,比较好的学校由于竞争人数激烈,IELTS通常6.5以上。据说英国的一些学校要求达到7.5甚至8分,具体要看学校看专业而定。大学成绩要非常重视,上面已说明,想读好学校就要求大学有好成绩!Application Form在你想申请的那个学校上有,可以自己填写。个人陈述和动机信是描述你为什么要申请这个学校,申请这个专业等等,网上有模板下载。再次是推荐信,其实推荐信都是自己完成,然后找教授或者讲师签名什么的。需要找的教授不一定要很讲究,除非那个教授在你申请那个专业来说世界闻名,或者和你母校和申请那个学校有交流合作项目,一般教授或者所谓国内非常“牛”的教授都是让人感到非常陌生的。所以这些不一定太讲究,一般教授是足够的了。

谈谈申请学校的期限,对于北欧来说,好的学校申请截止日期是次年的1月份左右。这些信息都可以在你要到哪个学校留学的Application Guide上看到。所以要计算好最后考IELTS/TOEFL的时间,尽量给自己多留些时间准备好申请材料!

 

签证篇

    等待录取结果是一个非常痛苦的事情,不过如果准备充分,总会有懂千里马的伯乐出现的!Good Luck

录取通知书发现来,就得赶紧做4件非常重要的事情:1、签证;2、住宿;3、机票;4、出国的行李包。签证通常是比较花费时间和影响后面各流程完成的最大因素。所以在收到通知书后就立刻准备好签证材料,尽快送去领事馆并约好下次面试时间。以下是芬兰签证的要求提供的资料:

签证申请者须具有:
1.
大学录取通知书,及复印件。
2.
自行办理最低金额为6000美元(数额以零零年十月汇率为计算)的汇票。及复印件二份。
3. (A)
最高学历公证书,并经外交部领事司认证。(B)户籍的出生公证书。及它们的英文页的复印件二份。
4.
进行学术类的雅斯(IELTS)英文水平测试。如果申请人得到的是综合性大学的录取通知书且被给与学位,该项免除,短期一年之内的学习该项也免除,成绩单需二份复印件。
5.
有效护照,二张照片,英文填写表格及回答问题。及回答问题的复印件。
6.
签证处理费每人510元人民币。
7.
递交申请时,需接受面试。
8.
公派留学生,需出示照会。
注:除表格外,所有文件皆请准备原件及必需的复印件共二份

附:现在芬兰签证还需要提供最高保额3万欧元的保险。

面签并不是一件神秘的事情,所以大家不用过渡紧张。面试只是检查申请人填写申请form的信息是否属实。面签时,签证官还会问一些额外问题,例如:你对芬兰有什么印象?为什么选择芬兰?在国内有没有男女朋友?(即使有最好说没有,说有他就多问一些问题的)毕业后有什么打算之类的问题。所以把信息很好地向签证官表达出来,签证是没有问题的。

签证时间从面试到签证下来,有的需要2个星期,但也有1个多月才能下来的。在这段时间里也可以做其他事情——申请宿舍和预订机票。申请住宿日期最好越早越好,因为这些跟名次排名有关的。预订机票不难,可以找计票代理。

 

出国留学的流程其实也差不多了。出国留学是可以DIY的,而且从中也能学到很多东西。有的同学找中介机构,那中介机构是做什么呢?第一,按照专业选择出一些学校并填写申请表;第二,使用他们的动机信或个人陈述和推荐信模板给你量身定做一份或两份。其他的材料他们会通知申请者公证或准备等等。

如果我们不通过中介申请留学,好处是可以节省一笔费用(申请北欧代理费12000元,DIY节省9000~10000元左右),而且在DIY时可以学习到一些东西(留学流程)。通过中介可以说是买一个信心,而且节省时间(找国家找学校,填写申请表,个人陈述,推荐信等)。一个中介的老师说,通过中介可以节省些时间多学些英语(个人认为,自己通过这个流程,特别写Personal Statement & Recommendation letter时候英语也有一定的提高,见仁见智)。但是通过中介要多支付更多的费用。

祝大家成功!实现自己的梦想!

My summer job

The summer was coming; my first year studying aboard was almost finished. If I can’t get the job in this summer, I would become a loser (That was one of my Finnish friends saying). So I was hurry with my summer job application (the closer to my major was the better). It would be wrong if you think it was easy to get the job in Finland. I don’t really know Finnish and Swedish. The society is very realistic. Supposed if there were some foreigners in China but they didn’t know Chinese, do you think they could be attempted to get the jobs easily?

So I had tried hard to apply the job in China-the Chinese real estate companies. In the processing when I applied the jobs in both Finland and China, I found something very interesting. No matter how busy the Finnish company works, it will reply you the application form by machine or by the HR person. However, applying jobs in Chinese companies likes throwing stones into the sea. You will never know the process and the result…The games played in China are totally different in aboard. I will mention it later. So I cannot get any job before the plane took off from Finland.

(Guangzhou Airport)

It is very lucky to get the summer job (I also said it the internship) in Pearl River Investment Corporation which is top 10 real estate developing company in China. After I got off the plane, I immediately gave a call to any potential company, the Jones Lang LaSalle, CBRE, Stanley, Baoli, Jindi and Pearl River. After I gave them the phone, I found that all of them used other special Email addresses other than which they put on the webpage. It made me mad! The EA on the webpage is faked! We know that every application takes every candidate many times to fill…In the responses, the HR manager in CBRE told me they didn’t need any internship during summer. While both Jones Lang LaSalle and Stanley were interesting at my educational background but they had recruited enough interns. They just gave me special EAs and left me into the databases. Furthermore, I was not able to contact with the HR of Baoli and Jindi. They probably use other available numbers too.

(My working place - Zhujiang New Town)

If you never give up, gob never gives up you! I had attempted to call Pearl River. They need interns from universities. The qualifications of it were relative majors, juniors or 1st year master-program students with famous university background. It was my only and last hope. I would waste the whole summer if I got nothing from such a life buoy. So I called several times until they got my call. Actually, they did really need people to work for them. With my confidence and my educational background, I, of course, got the easily. (:P) They warmly welcomed me to join them and I would not disappoint them with contributing what I had learnt in Finland…

PS:

After I worked in Pearl River Investment, I had the chances to be access to the recruitment process. Every day when they turn on the computer, they will receive thousands of application forms. And the personnel administrators did not and cannot read the resumes from everybody with so many other works on their hands. Then, they selected the candidates from their standards, good-looking, good university and good major (the 3G). However, they will not follow this standard if they are very busy during the day. The whole resumes will be canceled if they are busy; if not, they just have time to read a few of them, 20, 30 or more. It likes the gambling! I think we just waste time if we really want to apply a good job in a company through internet, especially in such a big big company. So just call them then you will success if you are lucky! Good luck!

Collected the money for Sichuan Compatriots in Finland

After the earthquake happened in Wenchuan, China(May 12, 2008), a lot of people lost their relatives, families and appartment. It was a tragic catestrophy to us before the Olympic Games.

As Chinese students who are studying in Finland, our hearts still connect to our mother country – China. We also wanted to do something which can help the Sichuan victims. So in Finland, one of my schoolfellows Lee, had contacted with the Red Cross and organized an activities to collect money in the high density places - Kamppi, Rail Way Station and Tapiola.

The thing most impressed me was that the back of every Finns I saw after they donated money. They were not Chinese. They had no responsibility to give the money to help the victims in China... (Some people in China always compared how much did this contry give? How much did that contry give? How was the rank of every contry? I don't agree it was a wisdom thing. Why we had to force other to donate more money? That was not a total competition.) People, especially the elderly people, were likely to give. No matter what they weared, no matter what they did, I noded my head with Kiitos to them after they inserted coins or paper currencies. Another impressing thing happened to me was that the parents were likely to give the coins to their baby or very young child and let them to donate it. Though they probably didn't know what happen because they were so young, I knew that their parents want to foster them a good habit(The Truth of Rich, a rich people is always being rich in their spirit).

When I lived in Finnish Society, I found that I have been loving to live in Finland gradually. They are very kind, friendly and selfleness. I never forget their faces and backs.

Kiitos, my Finnish friends!

Crazy days

In period 4, I have to complete 21 credits which just last for more than 2 months. We don't have any exam and I thought everything would be easy-going. But actually, it is not. pre-assignments, learning diary and teamworks....

The 8 credits course - Corporate Real Estate Management, if I use one word to describe, CRAZY!! It has been torturing me till now. First, we need the pre-exam after we need to read one book for preparation. Then, before classes, we have to finish the pre-assignments after read 7~20 pages materials. Furthermore, a learning diary would be followed by every class. During the study, we also have a teamwork for a case. Last but not least, the total learning diary for all of the staff...

Besides that, both of Game in Urban Planning and Development and Analysis of Real Estate Assets have make me crazy too. It seems that the deadlines are never ended, and the dark world is lived by crazy men...

Freedom!!! I need holidays!!

Hyvää kiinalainen uutta vuotta(Happy Chinese New Year)

IMG_0004 It was my first time to experience our Chinese New Year abroad. It was so exciting that a lot of people joined it. People were not only Finnish and Chinese, but they were some students and visitors also from other countries.

To join the game and enjoy it! I was very lucky to be one of the performers on the platform. What was I show at the platform? That was the dragon dancing. I had participated the Chinese dragon dancing team in our university(TKK). Even if we were amateurish and didn't practice for a long time, we did our best durning our training. Fortunately, we didn't disappoint our audience-people gathered around the platform and smiling until all the programs over.

Another exciting thing was that everyone counted backwards from 10 to 1 according to the Chinese time. In the square, we had a very large LCD screen which was playing channel CCTV 4 simultaneously with every Chinese family.

Therefor, when a few friends asked me, "how is your Spring Festial?" I had to say, "I felt like I was in China even I live in Finland". One thing which impressed me very much is that I saw the smile in everybody's face and they enjoyed themselves. How successful it is! As a foreigner, when I learn exotic culture, I hope I could transmit our culture and share our festive celebrition to every one:-)
