私立大学的问题：和平庸同学小班上课好疼苦（2）

我来自公立学校，对主导哈佛的私立学校文化、对享有巨大特权的孩子们完全没有准备，他们的父亲每年为他们支付数万美元加入期末俱乐部。令我目瞪口呆的是，有那么多同学实事求是地说，他们毕业后“投资银行”已经排着队等着他们。

我还对我的许多课程的平庸感到震惊，特别是助教主导的每周讨论部分。这些往往是极其痛苦的。很明显，大多数同学都没有完成指定的阅读，助教会花一个小时在黑暗中进行刺探，试图让我们说点什么，任何事情。 ?

Having come from a public school, I was totally unprepared for the private school culture that dominated Harvard, for the children of immense privilege, whose fathers would pay tens of thousands of dollars a year for them to join finals clubs. I was utterly dumbfounded by the number of classmates who stated matter-of-factly that they already had jobs lined up after graduation in “i-banking”.

I was also shocked by the mediocrity of many of my classes, particularly the teaching assistant-led weekly discussion sections. These were more often than not extremely painful. It was obvious that most classmates had not completed the assigned reading, and the teaching assistant would spend the hour taking stabs in the dark, trying to get us to say something, anything.
