Rise of Australia

Chapter 40 The Candidate Arrives
The back of the newspaper clearly stated the majors and quotas of students enrolled by the Australian National University this time. There are a total of five majors and [-] places.

Although Arthur deliberately allowed the quota to be expanded to about 800, Principal Wilfried Freeman Weinberg considered again and again and limited the enrollment quota to [-] this time.

Although the equipment and funds are completely sufficient, the Australian National University is still at a disadvantage in terms of teaching staff. If too many students are recruited, it will inevitably affect the efficiency of student learning and the quality of teaching.

What Wilfried Freeman Weinberg wanted to build was a world-class university, and naturally it couldn't be completed in a short period of time, let alone the number of enrollments.

This also means that this time the competition for university admissions will be extremely fierce. Under Arthur's call, I am afraid that most eligible Australians will sign up.

Under such circumstances, only [-] of the most outstanding students can be selected to enter the university, which is enough to show that the competition for enrollment is fierce this time.

On October 10, after more than half a month of preparation, the Australian National University's admissions examination will begin.

In order to facilitate these candidates who came from all over the country, Arthur specially announced that he would provide free accommodation and food for all candidates until the end of the exam.

As of the day before the official exam, a total of more than 3000 people had signed up, and more than half of them were candidates from other states.

As the exam approached, the streets of Sydney were filled with these candidates.In response to this potentially difficult exam, the few bookstores and newspaper stands in Sydney were raided by these candidates, trying to find a glimmer of information they might see in the exam.

Sydney, central street settlement.

It used to be a few residential buildings for family members of the Sydney City Government, but they were vacant due to relocation. At this time, they were also temporarily requisitioned by Arthur as the residence of candidates.

In order to allow candidates to live and rest more conveniently, these buildings were divided into rooms of basically the same size. There are about a thousand such small rooms for candidates to live in.

But compared with the number of candidates taking the exam, the number of rooms is still too small.Therefore, we can only temporarily grievance let candidates near Sydney go home to rest, and leave precious rooms to candidates from other states and regions.

In this way, more than 1 candidates were finally arranged in Sydney when six or seven people were barely squeezed into each room.

It is already the day before the exam, and most of the candidates have given up reviewing and chose to go shopping in Sydney or relax.

Only a small number of people are still scratching their heads, looking forward to encountering possible exam questions in this day's time, and adding a little more confidence to their exams.

In a certain room of a residential building.

"Sam, what do you think will be tested in this admissions exam? Is it the knowledge we learned in high school?" John Wiersher lay on his small bed, looking at his roommate with anticipation and fantasy.

"Oh, God, you're talking nonsense again, John." The boy named Sam complained helplessly, while turning the pages of the book in his hand without stopping.

"Hey, Sam, stop reading those useless books, brother. Sydney is indeed more prosperous than Western Australia, why don't we go for a walk? Maybe you can meet a very beautiful girl, and you can finish it." What about father's wish for you to get married early?" John jumped out of bed and said to Sam with a look on his face.

"Stop talking, John. Didn't I say it? As a glorious Australian, I just want to study hard and build Australia. As the Duke of Australia, His Highness not only did not get any benefits from Australia, but also selflessly Use your own funds to relieve all Australians and help Australia. Under such circumstances, shouldn't we study hard and serve His Royal Highness the Duke?" Sam patted his friend's hand on his shoulder , while patiently explaining.

"I didn't say not to serve His Highness, buddy. Then don't you think we should also combine work and rest? Only by resting well can we study hard, don't you?" Seeing that his friend didn't give him face at all, John could only resentfully Speaking of.

"Okay John, this is Sydney, the capital of Australia. I know you're curious about everything here, but you don't think we'll be able to stay here forever if we get into university, don't you?" Sam replied He came over and patted his friend on the shoulder, and said, "As you know, the number of admissions this time is only 800 people. But judging from the current situation, I'm afraid there must be at least a few thousand applicants, and maybe even more. If I didn't pass the exam and went back in despair, it would be much more embarrassing than it is now."

"Oh, well, Sam. You have successfully convinced me, brother." John nodded helplessly, and joined the army of reviewers.

Similar conversations were staged in many rooms of the residential building at the same time. In this era, most of the people who can successfully graduate from high school are those who are somewhat talented in learning and have a decent family background.

Although this test did not emphasize competition, but in Australia where high school students are not common, they are still a bit proud as high school students, at least they do not want to fall behind in such competitions.

However, there are some exceptions.After all, Sydney is the most developed city in New South Wales, and New South Wales is the most developed and most populous state in Australia.

These candidates who have just turned [-] or [-] have come to Sydney from all over Australia, and most of them have never seen a large city.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that these candidates have the idea of ​​going out for a stroll, and it is even a matter of course.

Looking at the current situation in Australia, the family background of these high school graduates is basically not bad, and they are all above the poverty line in Australia.

Their arrival has also driven Sydney's economic development to a certain extent, adding impetus to Sydney's already weak retail and tourism economy.

But most people still choose to continue studying. After all, university is a relatively high-end term in this era. University graduates are generally descendants of nobles and capitalists, or are extremely important talents.

Especially in Australia, the only way to become a university student is to study abroad, which requires not only expensive study fees, but also extremely good performance.

But it’s different now. As long as you successfully pass the admission examination of the Australian National University, you can basically go to university for free and become a real university student.

No one can refuse such a temptation, even teenagers who have entered the society and have jobs.
