Wait and wait, before the news of thermal ferrite came, Evan had to move into the designated dormitory of California Polytechnic (the first one was written about the South House, but later it was found that the North House was only built in 1960, so the modification was made here).

On September 23, just after nine o'clock in the morning, Evan appeared at the entrance of the California Institute of Technology with a backpack on his backpack.

Rogers was waiting here early.

Evan felt that with Rogers' help, the procedures should be completed soon.

School started, and Rogers' internship at ACAH naturally could not continue. Carl generously sent him a lot of money. Rogers felt that he would not have to find a new place for the next summer vacation, so he was particularly concerned about Evan's affairs.

"Let's go, let's try to make it before noon!" After the meeting, Evan said to Rogers.

The two of them walked quickly, and walked for about fifty meters. When they were about to reach OliveWalk, Evan saw a group of people walking towards them surrounded by a man from the Eastern Hole. The man was dragging a Samsonite wheeled suitcase in his hand. Many of the people in the crowd were students at first sight.

As soon as he saw the man, Evan stopped and consciously leaned against the roadside, but his eyes were never separated until they crossed him and could not even see his back.

Although Rogers found it a little strange, he did not urge Evan. He asked until Evan started again, "Evan, do you know Professor Qian?"

Evan shook his head and said, "I just feel very curious to see Orientals here!"

Rogers said: "Professor Qian is a great oriental."

What a pity, if you want to see him again at Caltech, you need to wait for him to come back from MIT.

Before noon, Evan dragged Sammi's suitcase into his dormitory.

This is the Blacker House in the lower right corner of the four communities, with dormitory No. 11, which is a single room on the first floor, with the window facing California Avenue.

This location is pretty good, facing north and south, and you won't be directly exposed to the sun in the morning, but the cars outside may be a little noisy.

However, this room does not really belong to Evan. Because the first week is just a try stay. During this week, freshmen, known as "frosh", can have dinner and snacks in all houses, have the opportunity to reach all house members and participate in their daily activities. This process allows freshmen to experience the differences between different houses, and allows senior members of each house to evaluate future new members.

The four communities have their own characteristics and mottos: BlackerHouse members are called "Moles", and its motto is "Nothing is worth it unless it is difficult", and most of the people living inside are nerdy; DabneyHouse members are called "Darbs", and its motto is "loyalty and gratitude"; FlemingHouse members are called "Flems", and its motto is "Let the action be expressed!" People living inside like lively and often organize sports activities; RickettsHouse members are called "Skurves", and the motto is "Know me like myself."

Each community has its own kitchen, public dining room, and dormitories without separate bathrooms and toilets, which are also public.

Entering second grade, Rogers did not opt ​​out of Hovses. He lives on the second floor of Dabney House, quite far from Evan.

That night, Evan attended the BlackerHouse welcome dinner. All the meals were made by the freshmen under the leadership of senior members. Evan was very low-key, just helped to help with the help of washing vegetables and so on. While preparing dinner together, the freshmen naturally started chatting. Registration numbers, hometowns, and majors were general operations. Evan found that there were no girls among the freshmen (Note, California Institute of Technology only started to recruit female undergraduates in 1970), and people of color are minorities, and non-California people are also. He roughly counted that more than half of the freshmen were Californian locals.

Evan was not surprised at all, after all, this was the unique limitation of this era. But the latter surprised Evan a little - did American universities also add points to local students?

At about eight o'clock, the dinner was finally ready. Orville Caldwell, the president of Blacker House, introduced the traditions and characteristics of Blacker before the dinner began. After the lecture, he invited many senior students to speak. This situation was like a club recruitment.

It was almost ten o'clock when Evan returned to his room.

Evan's room is one of the rare single rooms, and most of the others live in double rooms or even triple rooms.

Not long after I returned to the dormitory, someone came to knock on the door. Evan, who was lying on the bed, had to get out of bed and open the door.

"Hey, Evan! Are you going to go to bed with a sleepy look?"

"It's you, William!" Evan looked at the man in front of him with a sun-like smile on his face, and his head ached faintly.

His name is William Sylves, he is from Honolulu, Hawaii, and he studied civil engineering.

William is a self-catering person. The two met when they were preparing dinner. When it was time to eat in the evening, he could already sit with Evan without asking.

Evan scratched his hair with his right hand and held the door with his left hand, asking, "Is there anything wrong?"

"Nothing..." William was a little taller than Evan, so his gaze could go over Evan's shoulder and look inside, "Wow! You're actually a single room, can I go in and take a look?"

After saying that, before Evan refused, William squeezed in. He stroked the desk casually, looked out the window, and looked back at Evan, his eyes full of envy.

Evan shrugged and said, "It's just a week's luck. If you like a single room, it's better to apply in a week!"

William shook his head after hearing this, and said, "Forget it, I can't stand it if I'm too lonely."

"It's lively for a lot of people, and I just happen to like lively!"

What's the point of your look that the child just now saw that he had lollipops on his hands but didn't have them? Are you playing tricks on me?

Evan resisted the desire to squirt his saliva, and after smearing his palm on his face, he said expressionlessly: "Are you looking at it? I'm very tired..."

"Oh... I'm sure!" William was not an idiot, so he knew Evan was very impatient now, and he raised his foot to the door, "I'll go right now!"

When he stepped out of the room with one foot, his body suddenly paused and turned around and asked, "Evan, do you have to take a cold shower before going to bed? Speaking of which, I haven't been to the bathhouse yet?"

"No..." Evan was about to subconsciously refuse, and suddenly felt greasy on his body and changed his mouth: "You are right, you have to take a shower first!"

A few minutes later, Evan and William each walked into the public bathroom together with a washbasin containing toiletries.
