Chapter 1779: Chapter 933: I’m All Too Familiar with This Process

"Hello, Principal Ding."

"So you’re Principal Ding? You’re really handsome!"

"Principal Ding, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Principal Ding, are you here to inspect the area?"

On the plaza in front of the Book Ship Library at Mist City Arts and Science University, Ding Yue came over to take a look at the new student orientation, and many faculty and students greeted Ding Yue upon seeing him.

Even many new students registering recognized the young handsome guy at a glance as Principal Ding of Mist City Arts and Science University.

After all, Principal Ding’s name had already spread widely across the country.

"Hello, students."

Ding Yue warmly responded to the new students and continued his "inspection," which wasn’t really an inspection—he was just walking around, taking in the atmosphere of the annual new student orientation.

Speaking of it, Mist City Arts and Science University had already welcomed batch after batch of new students. Nowadays, besides undergraduates from four year groups, there are also many graduate students on campus.

"Principal Ding, every year the new student orientation is super bustling; it’s quite an impressive sight,"

remarked Secretary Wen Ruohan who was following behind Principal Ding.

This inevitably reminded Wen Ruohan of when she herself enrolled at Mist City Arts and Science University. Wen Ruohan was part of the first class of students at the university, and she had since graduated and been working as Principal Ding’s personal secretary for several years now.

Thinking back, it seemed like it was just yesterday.

However, when Wen Ruohan first enrolled, the university wasn’t as lively as it is now; at that time, there were only a little over nine thousand students in her class. Now it’s different—Mist City Arts and Science University welcomes around tens of thousands of new students every year.

"Indeed."

Ding Yue nodded slightly and looked at Secretary Wen Ruohan, smiling as he asked, "Xiao Wen, are you reminded of when you first joined Mist City Arts and Science University?"

"Yes, yes."

Wen Ruohan also nodded and responded, "But they are far better off than we were. When we came to Mist City Arts and Science University, we just wanted a place to attend college; we hadn’t even heard much about the university before. We just thought its name sounded proper, so we came."

"And how about now?"

Ding Yue inquired.

"Now, Mist City Arts and Science University is a renowned institution in the country, undoubtedly the number one private university. Furthermore, it is nationally certified as a key university, comparable to many 985 and 211 schools."

"So, Xiao Wen, where do you see Mist City Arts and Science University going in the future?"

Ding Yue asked again.

"Hahaha, it must be world number one!"

Wen Ruohan was confident now.

She used to hear Principal Ding talking about making Mist City Arts and Science University a world-class institution and thought he was being overly ambitious. But now it seems that the university actually has that potential, and Wen Ruohan firmly believes that as long as the university keeps developing at its current pace, surpassing Qinghua University, Yancheng University, and even overseas institutions like Cambridge and Harvard, is entirely possible.

"It seems even you, Xiao Wen, are very confident."

Ding Yue chuckled and said, "That’s right, Mist City Arts and Science University will strive to be number one in the world."

After saying that, Ding Yue headed to the next new student registration point, Fifth Canteen, just in time for lunch.

The new student orientation at Mist City Arts and Science University spanned several days, and in the early days, the scene was bustling with people, since tens of thousands were reporting in. Even with efficient processes, it was impossible to register so many in a single day.

After all, there is a process for new student registration, which does take some time, and many new students found the first day too crowded, so they decided to settle in first and then complete registration the next day.

This work is managed by the Academic Affairs Office, Logistics Department, Student Union, and school volunteers, so Ding Yue doesn’t have to worry. Director Qi Chunsheng of the Academic Affairs Office and Huang from the Logistics Department are well-experienced and handle these tasks every year without issue, and Ding Yue expects this year to be no different given the increasing maturity of the process.

Indeed,

the extended registration period went off without a hitch, with all tens of thousands of new students successfully completing registration and getting their dorms assigned.

Among these tens of thousands of new students, only a tiny fraction opted not to stay in the dormitories or apartment buildings; the vast majority chose the school’s accommodations.

Because the dormitory conditions and apartment facilities at Mist City Arts and Science University are quite good.

Providing accommodations for tens of thousands of new students required numerous dormitory and apartment buildings. Fortunately, Ding Yue foresaw this demand. With the current campus, along with the south campus, recent dormitory buildings are being fully utilized, and housing so many new students is no longer an issue.
