What are the interesting things about studying in America?
Watch an NBA/ football/baseball/hockey game with a hot dog.
Feel the fiery atmosphere of American professional games, even if you know nothing about football and baseball, you can join in the fun. At this time, hot dogs are essential. Three or five students sit in a row and buy a hot dog 1 meter long. When they took a bite, they saw that French mustard was dripping all over their mouths, and even the team they supported was hitting a home run.
Carve a pumpkin on Halloween.
Carving pumpkins on Halloween is a perfect combination of art and arm strength. Before carving, all pumpkin pulp should be pulled out. The sticky feeling is sour and refreshing, which makes you feel the feeling of Jack the Ripper.
Visit Seattle Park Market.
There is not only a distinctive fresh fish market and gum wall, but also the first Starbucks in the world. Strolling around every corner of the park market, you can see a whole barrel of flowers, flying fish shows, fresh cakes and fruits and vegetables, handmade cheese, local honey, wine, restaurants with international tastes, imported goods, antiques and collectibles, and you can find many unexpected goods at any time.
Cook Chinese food for foreign friends.

Your American friends are easy to get along with. Scrambled eggs with tomatoes can satisfy them, and the following can also benefit you a lot.
Thanksgiving shopping
Black Friday is not only cheap, but also lively. Even if you can't afford a discounted brand, it's good to go to Wal-Mart Target to snap up some daily necessities.

If friends who have been to Chicago have never been to sky deck in Hills Building, then you should buy a ticket before going! ! This must be done, 103 layer fully transparent glass observation deck, is it cool to take pictures?
Add a camping trip.
If you tell your American classmate that you have never been camping since you were so big, he/she will definitely stare at you with big eyes like a deer and tilt his head to make an upward "Oh ~ ~ ~ ~". Americans like outdoor and camping. Whether it's a boy scout training camp or a family RV trip, they are brave people who climb mountains, wade through water, see bears and pee their trouser legs. Find a crisp autumn night, and also experience the feeling of sleeping in a tent and look at the haze-free starry sky. The milky way is close at hand.
Have a big brunch.
Americans' favorite meal is usually breakfast. There is a saying that it is as delicious as breakfast. Their love for breakfast is so deep that only brunch can match it. Kan) One weekend after staying up late, you slept until noon and then had a sumptuous brunch. The whole person's energy is worth spending a while in off the charts.
Be an intern

The festival parade is not only packed with people, but also packed with people. Why not build a river quietly? Why do you dye yourself green on St. Patrick's Day when everyone decorates some greens, such as green bags, green coats and green hats?
Eat a McDonald's Big Mac.
Come to McDonald's hometown and taste the authentic Big Mac, and you will know what a giant is! Nothing! Ba! In contrast, domestic hamburgers can only be called bully at most. "The real Big Mac is the Big Mac that makes diners want to bite down but worry about the dislocation of the mandibular joint!"
Choose a course that you think is the most exciting.
American schools are free to choose courses, and there are no restrictions on non-professional courses.

Go to Chinatown once.
Chicago, new york and San Francisco have the largest and most representative Chinatowns. Chinatown is not the real China. It is filled with all kinds of strange small commodities that seem to have China characteristics, making you feel "What product is this?" It is also very meaningful to feel the product of cultural collision. KTV, manicure, acupuncture and massage can also be found here.
Go to new york Times Square for the New Year.
Although it sounds a bit vulgar, all the children's shoes you have been to will be deeply touched. I made a New Year's resolution in the crowd and then kissed the people around me. I heard that my wish will come true.
Ask the professor something.
In America, you can't wait for the teacher to give you a chance. You need to fight for everything yourself. Internship and scientific research opportunities, as small as the late submission of homework, need to communicate with professors themselves. Children in China are not used to this way. Try to communicate with their professors once, and they will get used to it.
Take part in a long-term volunteer service
In America, community service is a very important culture. Schools and enterprises pay more attention to talents with volunteer service habits. Long-term voluntary service is of great help to personal communication, exchange and leadership.
Make yourself a biscuit.
Among many desserts, Americans have a strong love for cookies. In class, professors often bring their own baked cookies to enliven the classroom atmosphere, and this kind of snack is indispensable for all kinds of activities. Learning to make cookies is the threshold to truly integrate into American society.
