Colourful Residential Life
多彩的住宿生活
There is something special for the residential life at Yale: the residential systems for undergraduates and postgraduates operate differently. While it is a necessity for freshmen to live on campus, postgraduates enjoy the freedom to choose where they prefer to live, either on campus or outside.
耶魯?shù)淖∷奚钣行┨貏e：本科生和研究生分屬于不同的住宿體制。大一新生必須住在校園里；而研究生卻享有自由選擇權(quán)利，住在學(xué)校或是校外是完全自愿的。
Yale's residential college system which is more than seventy years old is perhaps the most distinctive feature of the College. The twelve residential colleges allow students to experience the cohesiveness and intimacy of a small school while still enjoying the cultural and scholarly resources of a large university; it is in this sense that each college is a microcosm of the larger student population. The twelve residential colleges all have their own master and dean who live in the college with their families and eat their meals with students in the dining hall.
耶魯?shù)淖∷迣W(xué)院體制已擁有70多年的歷史，而且恐怕它也是耶魯學(xué)院最具特色的地方。12所住宿學(xué)院既讓學(xué)生感受到了一個(gè)個(gè)小學(xué)院的凝聚力與親和力，又使得他們可以享受到整所大學(xué)的文化與學(xué)術(shù)資源。也正是在這種意義上，每所住宿學(xué)院都代表著更廣泛的學(xué)生群體。每所住宿學(xué)院都有各自的院長及學(xué)監(jiān)，他們和家人都住在學(xué)院里，并且同學(xué)生一樣在食堂吃飯。
Freshmen are required to live on campus and they live on single-sex floors. Before freshman year, all incoming undergraduates are assigned to one of the twelve residential colleges by the individual college deans with two considerations in mind: compatibility and diversity. While students are matched based on general living habits, they should look forward to encountering a slice of Yale's diversity in their suites. After freshman year, students choose their roommates and obtain rooms through lotteries held by their colleges. Students remain affiliated with their residential college for all four years (and beyond). The residential college system offers students a familiar, comfortable living environment, personal interaction with faculty members and administrators, and exciting opportunities for academic and extracurricular exploration.
大一新生必須住在校園里，而且男女生不會(huì)混層居住。在開學(xué)之前，每個(gè)學(xué)院的學(xué)監(jiān)已經(jīng)為所有即將入學(xué)的新生分配好了其所歸屬的住宿學(xué)院。這個(gè)分配是基于兩方面的考慮的：相容性與多樣性。盡管學(xué)院的分配總體上是依據(jù)學(xué)生各自的生活習(xí)慣的， 但是學(xué)生同時(shí)也很期待能在套間中感受到一些耶魯?shù)亩鄻有浴４笠贿^后，學(xué)生可以自己選擇室友，房間的分配也是由學(xué)院采取抽簽決定的。學(xué)生整個(gè)四年（或四年以上） 都隸屬于自己所在的住宿學(xué)院。這種住宿學(xué)院體制在為學(xué)生提供一個(gè)熟悉并且舒適的住宿環(huán)境的同時(shí)，也方便了學(xué)生與教職員工及行政人員的個(gè)人交往，此外這也為學(xué)生提供了更多有趣的學(xué)術(shù)及課余探索機(jī)會(huì)。
