Chapter 51: Enrollment Is Coming, Fill In The Application Form!
It can be said that, in terms of the comfort level of campus life, Qin Mu is fully satisfied. The emphasis is on the ultimate learning experience.
"Is the online atmosphere this lively?" Qin Mu mused, observing the criticism from other universities directed at Shanhe University on the internet.
Many of these universities were prestigious institutions, accusing Shanhe University of mismanagement and undermining the integrity of higher education. Some even asserted that Shanhe University, as a crowdfunded institution, wasn't worthy of the title of a university.
These remarks managed to incite students from the four provinces of Shanhe, who staunchly defended their chosen university. This led to heated clashes online.
"Accusing me of flawed teaching methods?" Qin Mu's lips twitched in a hint of disdain.
In his view, a university was a small reflection of societal life. However, many top schools in the country have continuously emphasized the sanctity of the university, portraying it as an elevated haven for study, out of touch with the real world.
He aimed to break these barriers and bridge the gap between the university and the real world. This way, students could gain real-world experience early on, learn lighter theory, focus on practical skills, and become genuinely useful, rather than the stereotypical "bookworm."
As for the allegations that Shanhe University couldn't cultivate talent, Qin Mu confidently responded, "Facts speak louder than words. See you at the National University Competition."
Qin Mu believed that the upcoming national university competition was the perfect opportunity for Shanhe University to quickly gain recognition and become a world-class institution. He aimed to make a name for the university.
Meanwhile, he checked his mailbox once more and found eight new emails, all containing cover letters and resumes. With Shanhe University's surging popularity and attractive job offers, numerous domestic talents sought employment there. Through extensive communication, more than 50 top talents had been recruited to teach at Shanhe University.
However, the positions of deans in various colleges were still vacant, as the highest position recruited so far was that of vice president. Qin Mu wasn't too concerned, as he believed they would find suitable candidates before the school year started.
With the current progress, Qin Mu wasn't overly worried about the faculty, which eased his concerns. The construction team, led by Liu Datou, had grown to over 800 people distributed among the 30 mountains, where construction work continued at a rapid pace. All necessary areas had been developed in the 30 mountains, and now the focus was on constructing key buildings.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host; 45% of the [Shanhe University Establishment] task has been completed!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host; please continue to work diligently to complete the [Shanhe University Establishment] task as soon as possible."
"Current remaining time: 14 days."
As Qin Mu heard the system's update, he considered the progress he'd made so far.
Two days later, in a studio, Su Xueyi sat in front of her computer, excitedly filling out the university application form and selecting her course preferences. Her future university was now dependent on her choices.
She needed to fill in four preferences. The first choice held the highest priority. Once selected, her application would be sent to the university for evaluation. If accepted, the subsequent preferences would be voided. If not, her application would be sent to her second preference for further consideration.
The process was crucial, as she needed to make these choices wisely to secure a spot in her desired university. Her first choice was Shanhe University, and she selected the painting major as her top preference, as it required an admission score of 660 points. With her close-to-the-limit score and her previous donation to Shanhe University, she stood a high chance of admission.
In Jincheng, Wang Yi sat at his computer, with his parents standing behind him. They looked on with concern, all aware of the importance of this moment.
Wang Yi had already been actively engaged with Shanhe University, having previously donated 2,000 yuan to its construction. Now, he was ready to make it his first choice on the university application form. He selected the archeology major, intuitively sensing it might be Shanhe University's strongest program.
