[學(xué)術(shù)方面] I have the opportunity to take AP classes, Honors, Dual Enrollments (with Concordia Nebraska), which have prepared me immensely to succeed at University of Toronto. Since we have a smaller student body, all kids can be taken care of in terms of college counseling. All juniors and seniors are required to have a minimum of 2 counseling meetings per semester with their designated counselor. I took on a heavy course load, however, students have the flexibility to select the courses they would like. [生活方面] The international office is serious about student safety. I got my driver’s license, however, I was not granted permission to drive without a family member in U.S.. The international office consists of an academic advisor that is exclusively in charge of international students’ academic performance, she checks students’ grades every week and provides after-school tutoring twice a week. Apart from an academic advisor, the office is also equipped with a Chinese admission officer who communicates with parents a and host families. Our director oversees everything including our events such as World Culture Day, etc. [申請(qǐng)方面] When I was applying for Linfield, a TOEFL test was required. The general admission rate and specific admission rate for Chinese applicants can be found on Linfield’s website, which is around 75%. For new international students, there is a compulsory orientation program that takes place usually in mid-august. It is International Student Leadership’s duty to run the program. International Student Leadership consists of both domestic students and international students who applied and passed the interview with the director of the International Office. [住家方面] I was hosted through my agency, however, Linfield provides their own home-stay program. [課外活動(dòng)和社團(tuán)] Over the course of my three-year experience at Linfield, I was involved in Student Ambassador, International Leadership Team, Debate, Tennis. I also created Coffee Club. Tennis team is always open for all students, the tryout determines the ranking and matchups for the games. Not only has Debate built me up profoundly in improving my articulation skills, but also confidence in public speaking.

[學(xué)術(shù)方面] 總體來(lái)說(shuō)Linfield的課程覆蓋很全面，普通課程的挑戰(zhàn)難度不是很大。畢業(yè)要求有專(zhuān)門(mén)的counselor跟進(jìn)指導(dǎo)。優(yōu)秀的同學(xué)們可以根據(jù)需求選擇AP/honor課程挑戰(zhàn)一下自己，或是為了大學(xué)申請(qǐng)進(jìn)行努力。主要學(xué)科教學(xué)水平都很好，大部分老師都畢業(yè)于名校以及有很高的學(xué)術(shù)水平。對(duì)于國(guó)際生，學(xué)校設(shè)立了專(zhuān)門(mén)的課后補(bǔ)習(xí)項(xiàng)目，學(xué)生們?nèi)绻X(jué)得跟不上課程的話(huà)可以申請(qǐng)加入，里面有專(zhuān)門(mén)的老師進(jìn)行補(bǔ)習(xí)，也會(huì)幫大家跟學(xué)科老師進(jìn)行溝通。中國(guó)學(xué)生的畢業(yè)去向普遍都還不錯(cuò)基本在美本top50以?xún)?nèi)。 [生活方面] 學(xué)校的伙食能保證品種多樣性。購(gòu)物區(qū)域普遍開(kāi)車(chē)5-10分鐘都能到達(dá)。短期假期住家的中國(guó)學(xué)生一般是跟住家一起行動(dòng)，當(dāng)然也可以自己進(jìn)行規(guī)劃。Linfield是一所走讀學(xué)校，所以沒(méi)有住宿。住家環(huán)境都很好，人也都很善良因?yàn)槎际腔叫磐?，也很有包容性?[申請(qǐng)方面] 學(xué)校的中國(guó)學(xué)生占了13%，還是算多的。所以如果擔(dān)心一個(gè)人，害怕不適期長(zhǎng)的可以考慮一下。作為一個(gè)基督學(xué)校，同學(xué)和老師們都很友善。遇到任何煩惱都可以隨時(shí)跟任何的任教老師進(jìn)行溝通，我相信每一個(gè)老師都會(huì)耐心的進(jìn)行開(kāi)導(dǎo)的。 [課外活動(dòng)和社團(tuán)] 學(xué)校的課外活動(dòng)很多，種類(lèi)也很豐富。我自己曾參與過(guò)網(wǎng)球社團(tuán)，inetrnational leadership team（國(guó)際部的學(xué)生會(huì)），學(xué)術(shù)社團(tuán)，美術(shù)社團(tuán)，合唱團(tuán)等多種活動(dòng)。學(xué)校的橄欖球，田徑，長(zhǎng)跑，以及籃球都很不錯(cuò)。體育活動(dòng)的強(qiáng)度取決于學(xué)生們自己的選擇。每個(gè)學(xué)生的畢業(yè)要求是20個(gè)體育學(xué)分。第一年普遍會(huì)參加體育課，兩個(gè)學(xué)期10分。剩下的學(xué)分可以通過(guò)參加社團(tuán)來(lái)獲得，一個(gè)學(xué)期的社團(tuán)有5分。可以一項(xiàng)活動(dòng)連續(xù)參加幾年。這也對(duì)大學(xué)的申請(qǐng)也有好處。
