Chapter 505 - 280: Is the Food at the Seventh Dining Hall Really That Good, or Just Hype?
After exchanging a few pleasantries, a group of people began strolling around the campus, walking towards the Seventh Dining Hall.
At this time, it was the turn of a few teachers from the recruitment office to shine.
They dispersed throughout the team, distributing recruitment brochures to the students of each class, and incessantly introducing the school’s key disciplines like tour guides. For instance, Jiang University School of Life Sciences had invited Professor Hans, who had strong research capabilities, and the School of Sports had invited Lin Yahu, the men’s high jump champion of the Asian Games, among others.
Of course, there were benefits for high-achieving students to apply to the school, such as various scholarships and placement in key programs.
In short, as they walked, the recruitment teachers spoke eloquently, with saliva flying, in hopes of attracting high-achieving students to Jiang University.
You must know that Jiangzhou City’s Ninth Middle School is a top provincial key school in Jiangzhou, with several students recommended to Shuimu Jing University and other top universities nationwide each year.
Students who are recommended cannot be poached, but the remaining students are also very excellent and high-quality resources. If the majority of these students can be drawn to Jiang University, wouldn’t the recruitment office have achieved a "great merit" in this year’s recruitment work?
Yao Pinghua took the recruitment brochure handed over by the teacher from the recruitment office, flipping through it casually while walking forward. It not only printed the beautiful campus scenery but also introduced the school’s advantages, which were basically similar to what these recruitment office teachers had been talking about along the way.
His thoughts weren’t here at all, and he hadn’t thought about applying to Jiang University, so he naturally didn’t care much. Casually, he stuffed the thin recruitment brochure into his pants pocket while browsing the surroundings as he walked forward.
To be honest, if it weren’t for the recruitment office teachers standing not far away, he would have thought of throwing the recruitment brochure into the trash can.
Who can’t brag?
Just by saying these few words, do they still think that they can persuade high-achievers like them to change their minds and apply to Jiangzhou University? Isn’t this a pipe dream?
As far as he knows, none of those high-achieving students even considered Jiang University. Even if they go to Southern University of Science and Technology, which is neither a "211" nor a "985", it’s still better than staying at Jiang University.
After all, that’s in the super-first-tier city, Shen Town!
And although Southern University of Science and Technology was only established in 2011, this school is far from simple. Its faculty comes from top universities worldwide, with 26 academicians alone!
Comparatively speaking, Jiang University’s faculty is a notch weaker, with only 4 academicians.
Such a powerful institution, nestled in the super-first-tier city of Shen Town, despite not being "211" or "985", still attracts quite a lot of students.
Isn’t it true that no one dislikes moving to big cities? Otherwise, how would the house prices in big cities keep rising?
But Jiang University falls short. Studying at a university near home doesn’t differ from attending high school.
Students who have longed to leave the house, liberating themselves from the constraints of their parents, outright refuse to stay within the province, let alone at Jiang University in the city.
Yao Pinghua was thinking about these things, yet his steps never stopped, following everyone forward.
Suddenly, someone in the troop exclaimed:
"Wow! What’s that smell? It’s so fragrant!"
This loud exclamation woke up Yao Pinghua, and everyone turned their heads to look forward—
Only to see a modernly styled two-story building quietly nestled amid green shades and flower paths, backed by lush trees with dense branches and leaves.
On one side of the building’s roof, blue smoke ascended into the sky, quickly dispersing into thin air with a gentle breeze.
Wafting waves of enticing aroma blew in with the wind, tickling Yao Pinghua’s and others’ noses, instantly awakening the hunger in everyone’s stomachs.
No one knew who couldn’t resist. In the blink of an eye, waves after waves of gurgling sounds echoed incessantly in their ears...
