캘리포니아에 있는 주립 대학교인 치코를 선택해서 6개월 정도 어학연수를 다녀온 사람입니다.
늦은 나이로 영어 공부를 시작에 많은 고민을 하고 선택하는데에도 신중을 기하여서 선택했습니다.
먼저 이 학교를 선택한 것은 캘리포니아에서 2번째로 오래된 학교 라는 것 그만큼 역사와 전통이 깊다는 것..
그리고 더 중요한 것은 여자학생들의 비율이 남성보다 많은 것이 너무나도 마음에 들었어요.
공부에 집중 할 수도 있고 치코 라는 곳이 크지가 않거든요. 그래서 유흥도 없겠다 공부에 전념 할 수 있겠다 싶었죠.
무엇보다 한국인 비율이 많지 않아서 내가 더 영어를 열심히 해야 된다는거? 그리고 영어가 사투리도 없고 정통 영어라서 너무 좋았어요.
두서 없게 말했지만 다시 말하자면,
일단은 저는 다른 캘리포니아 대학도 많이 보았지만 치코를 선택한 큰 이유는 치코는 작은 마을로써 자연 환경이 아름다우며 대도시의 장점과 소도시의 장점이 공존하는 그런 곳 이라는 점에서 선택을 하였습니다. 물론 학교 프로그램도 많이 보았지요.
프로그램은 집중 영어 프로그램 (Intensive English Program (20hrs/wk) ) 을 선택하였고 주당 20시간의 수업을 들었어요.
다른 곳은 많게는 서른명 정도로 배치 되는 걸로 알고있는데 캘리포니아는 크게 안 하는 것으로 알고 있어요.
치코같은 경우는 10명정도의 인원으로 수업을 진행해서 더욱 더 작거든요. 그게 참 좋았어요.
많으면 많은대로 좋지만 적은 인원으로 수업한다는 자체가 매리트로 다가왔어요. 사람들도 많이 사귀고 그리고 좀더 친밀하게 다가갈 수 있는 그런 계기라고 생각해요. 아무래도 한국시스템에 맞춰서 공부를 하다보니 주입식일 수 밖에 없었는데 미국 토론 방식으로 수업을 진행해서 자신감도 생기고 그리고 말 할 수 있는 권한도 많아서 그런 점들을 극복 할 수 있었습니다.
치코 캠퍼스는 60개 이상의 나라에서 모인 400명의 유학생을 포함하여 캘리포니아 주립 대학교 중에서 학생 만족도 자체 조사에서 석사과정 학생들에 의해 대학 군내에서 1위로 선정 될 만큼 만족도가 높으며 수준 높은 교육이 이루어 지며 교육 9개 단과 대학교 300 이상의 전공 과정이 제공되며, 치코시는 미국에서 살기 좋은 5개의 대학 촌 중에서 하나로로 선정 될 만큼 학생들이 편히 공부 할 수 있다는 그런 점들이 매우 마음에 들어서 선택하였어요.
작지만 그만큼 실속이 가득 찬 대학교가 아닐까 생각합니다.
그리고 더 저를 끌리게 한 사실은 아시아 인들이 적고 백인들의 분포가 50% 정도가 넘다는 사실이었어요.
아무래도 영어를 배워도 정통 영어를 배우고 싶은 욕심이 있었는데 그것을 충족 시켜주는 이유였습니다.
