Yu Xiaofeng，Lecturer at the Institute of Communication, Department of Journalism, our college，Visited to the City University of New York, Staten Island College in 2015。
Unconsciously，It has been nearly two months since I came to New York。Don’t hear about domestic affairs，The one who accompanies me every day，Only the sea from Staten Island to Manhattan。
Staten is an island，Original name "Richmond County"。As one of the five jurisdictions in New York City，It is related to Queens、Brooklyn、Living off the main island of The Bronx and Manhattan，Facing each other across the sea。The islanders are represented by "9.Middle-class people who immigrated from Manhattan after 11 years old，Mainly native white people。In bet365 online sports betting livethe bustling New York，It is quiet and tranquil。I have traveled thousands of miles across the ocean，The main body of City University of New York and College of Staten Island，On this island。
Manhattan is a city，It is also the core of New York, the top fashion and culture capital in the world。Quiet and secluded compared to Staten，It’s a feasting place here，Intoxicated and wealthy。Painting、Music、Movie、Photography、Architectural Art、Performance Art......An overwhelming number of exhibitions、An endless stream，Permeated in any inconspicuous corner of this city。Wandering，Dizzying；Step in，It’s a double shock to the pupils and the soul。Graduate Center of CUNY，In this city。
Out of the habit of intervention and adaptation，In the first semester of studying in the United States，In addition to participating in the master’s and doctoral advanced seminars of the co-supervisor at the Manhattan Graduate School，The courses I chose at CUNY，is limited to CSI undergraduate students Bet365 loginon Staten Island。Specifically，Includes "History and Theory of Advertising and Public Relations"、"Introduction to Journalism"、Four courses of "Communication in a Corporate Setting" and "Senior Seminar in Communications Research"。
Different from domestic，Not all the main teachers teaching CUNY courses are full-time teachers at the school，Also includes professors from other universities and well-known practitioners in the industry。And，The proportion of professional courses and general courses undertaken by the latter is not low。Looking at the Department of Media Culture (Media Culture) where I am engaged in collaborative research，About 40%。For example，In the four undergraduate courses I took，Professor William Finn who teaches "Social Communication Practice"，From the University at Buffalo, the State University of New York )；Mr. Joseph Tocopino teaches "Introduction to Journalism"，is a columnist and senior editor of TIME。These two teachers are “uninvited”、In the "non-cooperative" state，Independently undertake bet365 online sports bettingprofessional teaching of CUNY courses that do not belong to his own unit。
CUNY’s courses are very dense。Normally，Each class is almost two hours，And teachers often like Liantang，Plus a heavy amount of extracurricular reading，"Continuous rotation" happens from time to time。Take the advanced master’s and doctoral seminar taught by my co-supervisor this semester, Professor Ying Zhu, as an example，Class time is from 4:15 pm to 8:00 pm，Take a 10-minute break or do not arrange a concentrated break。End of each class，Professor Zhu will focus on the theme of this semester’s seminar—“Chinese Classic Literature from Novel to Screen”，Assign reading materials before next class (several books、Several documents or reports)、Watching videos (several movies or TV shows) and social survey tasks (questionnaires、Random interviews and professional interviews)。If not completed within a week，You will not be able to continue lecture understanding and class discussion in the next class。Before going to bet365 slotsthe United States，Although I have heard about reading in American universities、Huge workload，But this personal experience，But I also deeply understand what "night and day" means)，“No time to look around”。
From Staten，To Manhattan，No land access，The only body of water in the Atlantic Ocean is the Verrazano Narrows。My commute，To and from the sea。So，Every day I will look at the vicissitudes of the Brooklyn Bridge in the strait and the Statue of Liberty standing on the other side。The ferry is still bustling late at night。Fortunately，The moon is dimming，Qingfengliuguang，Teach me the heart of separation，Don’t add melancholy。
