저는 2023년 가을학기 12주 수업을 들었어요.저는 12주만 계획햇기때문에 intensive 25를 선택해서 선택과목도 고를 수 있었어요.수업은 다들 모두 친절하고 뭐든 도와주려 하는 분위기가 너무 좋았습니다! 영어 레벨테스트는 수업시작 한달 전에서 한국에서 온라인으로 했어요
다양한 나라에서 모여서 고유 음식들을 가져오며 파티도 하고,할로윈 파티 크리스마스 파티등 행사도 많았어요. 처음엔 걱정이 많았는데 학생들도 선생님들도 RA( 기숙사에 체류하면서 국제학생들을 도와주는 보스톤대학교 학생들이 아르바이트)들도 다 너무 좋은사람들이 있어서 너무너무 잘 지낼수있었어요!
저는 기숙사를 신청할 때 기숙사 신청은 4개의 선택에서 아래의 순서대로 신청을 했어요 . 보스톤 대학교는 학교주변이 모두 기숙사에요
1순위: Apartment for One Person
2순위:Single Bedroom In Apartment
3순위:Single Bedroom In Suite
4순위: Single Bedroom In Dorm
그런후 저는 2 Raleigh (랄리로 발음)St. Boston MA 02215, 기숙사로 배정이 되었어요
뷰가 넘 이쁘다네요 근데 화장실이랑 샤워실이 복도에 공용4층에서 사용했고 이 기숙사는 엘리베이터 없어서 캐리어 두개 올리느라 좀 힘들었지만 같은 학생들이 제방을 보고 제일 좋다고 하였습니다.
식사는 보스턴 곳곳에 학식을 먹을 수 있는 시설도 있었고 포인트도 쓸 수 있어서 일반 가게에서도 잘 먹을 수 있었습니다 그리고 한국음식점도 많고 정말 찾기 어려울 것 같은 한국음식들도 쉽게 찾을 수 있었어요!
기숙사도 마찬가지로 제가 운이 좋게도 아늑하고 화목한 기숙사에 들어가게 되어 매주 수요일마다 기숙사 파티도 하고 저녁도 같이 먹었어요 다들 친해서 식기도 같이 쓰고 지하에서 요리도 같이 하는등 너무 행복하게 잘 지냈습니다! 시설도 이쁘고 강을 볼수 있는 뷰여서 너무 이뻤습니다 ! 식사는 너무 훌륭하고 랍스터 데이도 잇어서 랍스터도 마음껏 먹었어요
너무 친절하게 신경써주신 덕분에 이쁜기숙사와 이쁜 풍경속에서 행복하게 어학연수 생활 하고 왔습니다
다행히두 어학원에 한국학생들이 별로 없어서 영어만 썼어요! 실력이 는지는 모르갰지만 ㅋㅋㅋ 자신감은 생겼어요!
