[學術方面] 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. [課外活動和社團] 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.

[學術方面] 總體來說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)要求有專門的counselor跟進指導。優(yōu)秀的同學們可以根據(jù)需求選擇AP/honor課程挑戰(zhàn)一下自己，或是為了大學申請進行努力。主要學科教學水平都很好，大部分老師都畢業(yè)于名校以及有很高的學術水平。對于國際生，學校設立了專門的課后補習項目，學生們?nèi)绻X得跟不上課程的話可以申請加入，里面有專門的老師進行補習，也會幫大家跟學科老師進行溝通。中國學生的畢業(yè)去向普遍都還不錯基本在美本top50以內(nèi)。 [生活方面] 學校的伙食能保證品種多樣性。購物區(qū)域普遍開車5-10分鐘都能到達。短期假期住家的中國學生一般是跟住家一起行動，當然也可以自己進行規(guī)劃。Linfield是一所走讀學校，所以沒有住宿。住家環(huán)境都很好，人也都很善良因為都是基督信徒，也很有包容性。 [申請方面] 學校的中國學生占了13%，還是算多的。所以如果擔心一個人，害怕不適期長的可以考慮一下。作為一個基督學校，同學和老師們都很友善。遇到任何煩惱都可以隨時跟任何的任教老師進行溝通，我相信每一個老師都會耐心的進行開導的。 [課外活動和社團] 學校的課外活動很多，種類也很豐富。我自己曾參與過網(wǎng)球社團，inetrnational leadership team（國際部的學生會），學術社團，美術社團，合唱團等多種活動。學校的橄欖球，田徑，長跑，以及籃球都很不錯。體育活動的強度取決于學生們自己的選擇。每個學生的畢業(yè)要求是20個體育學分。第一年普遍會參加體育課，兩個學期10分。剩下的學分可以通過參加社團來獲得，一個學期的社團有5分。可以一項活動連續(xù)參加幾年。這也對大學的申請也有好處。
