Text b college life in england
When they first arrive at the higher school first year university students are called “freshers”. A fresher’s life can be exciting but terrifying for the first week. During this period all the clubs and societies hold a freshers’ “fair” during which they try to persuade the new students to join their society.
As well as lectures there are regular seminars at which one of a small group of students (probably not more than ten) reads a paper he or she has written. The paper is then discussed by the tutor and the rest of the group. Once or twice a term students will have a tutorial. This means they see a tutor alone to discuss their work and their progress. In Oxford and Cambridge the study is based entirely around such tutorials which take place once a week. Attending lectures is optional for Oxford students.
More than 75 percent of the students live in residence halls, small houses, special-interest houses, and fraternity and sorority houses. With the exception of commuters (who live with their parents within a 30-mile radius), all freshmen have their meals and live on campus. They usually have a double room in all-freshmen residences. Residence halls have kitchens, lounges, recreation areas and laundry facilities and some have fireplaces and pianos. In the spring, students select rooms for the next academic year through a lottery. Both coed and single sex residential halls are available.
Each dorm is self-governed. Students elect a Residence Hall Council, set up their rules about quiet hours, visitation, smoking and other aspects of communal life, and then formally and informally make sure their arrangements work. It is easy to get around campus and into town. Walking, biking or riding the “green machines (College shuttle buses)” are the primary modes of transportation. Only commuters and students who have finished two years and 54 credit hours may have cars on campus.
