한인 비율이 어떻게 되나요? 위치는 어떻게..
By 김솔비 [2015-08-17 14:08:46]
Q: 제가 치코랑 롱비치를 생각하고 있는데요. 위치가 어느 곳이 나은지요...
저는 좀더 큰 규모의 벅적벅적 거리는 분위기를 좋아해서요.
둘중에 어느 곳이 나아요??
A:
롱비치와 치코를 비교 하신다면 치코는 더 작은 규모가 되며 사람이 좀더 많고
번화가를 원하신다면 롱비치에 위치한 캘리포니아 주립대학교를 추천해 드립니다.
시내권에 있으며 외국인과 아시아인 비율이 잘 섞여 있어서 다양한 문화권의 친구들을 많이 사귀 실 수 있는
좋은 기회가 될 것입니다. 또한 롱비치에 대하여 안내를 드리자면
캘리포니아 주립대학교, 롱비치는
캘리포니아 주립대학교 롱비치 캠퍼스는 캘리포니아 주립대중 두 번째로 큰 대학이며 캘리포니아 주에서 학생수가 가장 많은 학교 중 한 곳으로 2012년도 가을학기에는 학생 수가 36,279명에 육박 하였습니다. 대학원생의 수는 5,148명으로 캘리포니아 주립대를 포함한 캘리포니아 주 전체에서 가장 큰 대학원 중 하나입니다. 캘리포니아 주립대학은 로스앤젤레스 카운티 의 모서리에 위치해 있으며 오렌지 카운티와는 약 1마일정도 떨어져 있습니다. 캘리포니아 주립대학 롱비치 캠퍼스는 교육학의 두 가지 박사학위, 공학의 박사학위, 물리치료의 박사학위를 포함해 총 137가지의 학사 학위와 92가지의 석사 학위, 그리고 5가지의 박사 학위를 제공하고 있습니다. 캘리포니아 주립대학교 롱비치 캠퍼스는 서부 해안지역에서 학생 수와 다양성으로 가장 유명한 대학이며 미 서부지역에서 다섯번째로 가장 다양한 학생을 보유하고 있는 학교로 U.S. News & World Report에 등록 되었습니다. 또한 미시시피주의 서부 지역으로 가장 많은 펀드를 받고 있는 학교들이 위치해 있습니다. 캘리포니아 주립 대학교 롱비치의 학비는 캘리포니아에 거주하는 학생들에 한해 연 6,738달러로 미국에서 가장 저렴한 학비의 학교로 손꼽힙니다.
저는 어중간한 나이에 간 거라서 너무 걱정되었는데 주위에서 캘리포니아를 많이가고 미국중에서 가기에는 제일 적당하다고 하더라구요. 정말 틀린 결정이 아니었어요. 첫번째로 저는 남자이고 요리조차 해본적 없는 사람이며 절대 청소 같은것도 잘 안하거든요 근데 캘리포니아 롱비치 주변에는 한인 식당이랑 한인사람들이 많아서 결코 어려움 없이 음식 재료나 그리고 음식을 사 먹을 수있었구요 생각했던 것 보다 물가도 많이 안비싸고 좋았어요. 그리고 낯을 많이 가리는 편이라서 어려울거 같았는데 동양계 친구들도 많더라구요 그래서 어려움 없이 친해지고 그 친구들도 영어로 대화하니까 어려움 없이 영어가 더 늘었던거 같아요.
그리고 숙박도 그렇고 위치도 그렇고 너무 마음에 들어요. 짧게 다녀와서 아쉬움이 남아서 열심히 다시 일해서 가고 싶은 생각이있어요. 일단 저는 집중 영어 프로그램 (Intensive English Program (IEP))을 다녀왔어요. 수업 레벨이 7까지 나눠져있어서 기본적인 테스트를 걸친후에 내 레벨에 맞춰서 수업을 진행했구요 저는 중간 정도였습니다. 그래서 반을 배정받고 수업을 진행했어요. 수업 인원은 약 15명에서 많으면 20명정도? 근데 제가 진행했던 프로그램 반은 15명 정도 였어요. 많지 않은 숫자라서 더 좋았어요. 학생과 교수님 사이에서 친밀도 있게 수업을 진행 했다고 생각합니다.
일단 선택한 결정적인 이유는 교수진들이 매우 좋다는 것이었어요. 그 말이 맞는 듯 했어요. 저를 담당해주시던 교수님들이 참 좋았어요 그리고 서부 해안지역에서 학생 수와 다양성으로 가장 유명한 대학으로 꼽히고 미 서부지역에서 다섯번째로 가장 다양한 학생을 보유하고 있는 학교로 U.S.
News & World Report에 등록되어 있다는 점에 저는 더 만족 스러웠습니다. 캘리포니아에서 가장 큰 대학교라고 알고 있습니다. 홈스테이, 기숙사, 그리고 아파트 중에서 고를 수 있었는데요.모든것들이 장단점을 따지고 나서 저는 기숙사를 선택했어요.
CSULB Residence Hall(교내) Residence Learning College(교외) 둘중에 고를 수 있구요 저는 교내에 있는 기숙사를 선택 했습니다, 친구들과 더 잘 어울릴 수 있다는 장점이 제일 커서 선택을 했구요.
캠퍼스랑 약 1마일 정도 떨어져있지만 저는 차가 없었음에도 불구하고 어려움 없이 지낼 수 있었던 계기는 학교내에 스쿨버스가 있어서 스케줄에 맞춰서 버스를 타고 수업 시간마다 이동하며 다녔어요. 큰 어려움은 없었어요. 주당 10번 아니면 19번의 식사를 선택 할 수 있는데요. 저는 주말에는 기숙사 친구들하고 나가서 사먹거나 하고 수업이 있는 중에는 캠퍼스 안에있는 식당에가서 꼭 챙겨 먹었어요. 음식도 맛있었도 그리고 더군다나 저렴한것이 좋았어요.
한국에서는 겪을 수 없는 그럼 캠퍼스 문화라던지 식당에서 이야기 하면서 밥 먹는게 그런 소소한거 그리고 밥 먹고나서 앞에 공원에 앉아서 친구들이랑 이야기 하는 그런거 너무 좋았어요. 색다른 기분이었습니다. 진정한 캠퍼스 생활은 역시 기숙사 아닐까요 ㅎㅎ
저는 캘리포니아 같은 날씨를 매우 좋아하는데요 너무 덥지도 너무 습하지도 않은 그런 날씨가 좋았어요. 주말에 기숙사 룸메이트 들이랑 같이 롱비치 해변가로 가서 놀다오곤 했는데요, 치안적으로도 안전해서 보안 문제는 걱정을 안했어요. 그리고 서핑이 꽤 유명한 편이라서 서퍼들을 많이 볼거에요.
저처럼 마음만 먹고 계신 분들이라면 저의 이 글을 통해서 갈 수 있는 좋은 계기가 되었으면 합니다.
