Colourful Residential 1 Life
多彩的住宿生活
There is something special for the residential life at Yale: the residential systems for undergraduates and postgraduates 2 operate differently. While it is a necessity for freshmen 3 to live on campus, postgraduates enjoy the freedom to choose where they prefer to live, either on campus or outside.
耶鲁的住宿生活有些特别：本科生和研究生分属于不同的住宿体制。大一新生必须住在校园里；而研究生却享有自由选择权利，住在学校或是校外是完全自愿的。
Yale's residential college system which is more than seventy years old is perhaps the most distinctive 4 feature of the College. The twelve residential colleges allow students to experience the cohesiveness 5 and intimacy 6 of a small school while still enjoying the cultural and scholarly resources of a large university; it is in this sense that each college is a microcosm of the larger student population. The twelve residential colleges all have their own master and dean who live in the college with their families and eat their meals with students in the dining hall.
耶鲁的住宿学院体制已拥有70多年的历史，而且恐怕它也是耶鲁学院最具特色的地方。12所住宿学院既让学生感受到了一个个小学院的凝聚力与亲和力，又使得他们可以享受到整所大学的文化与学术资源。也正是在这种意义上，每所住宿学院都代表着更广泛的学生群体。每所住宿学院都有各自的院长及学监，他们和家人都住在学院里，并且同学生一样在食堂吃饭。
Freshmen are required to live on campus and they live on single-sex floors. Before freshman 7 year, all incoming undergraduates are assigned to one of the twelve residential colleges by the individual college deans with two considerations in mind: compatibility and diversity. While students are matched based on general living habits, they should look forward to encountering a slice of Yale's diversity in their suites 8. After freshman year, students choose their roommates and obtain rooms through lotteries 9 held by their colleges. Students remain affiliated 10 with their residential college for all four years (and beyond). The residential college system offers students a familiar, comfortable living environment, personal interaction with faculty 11 members and administrators 12, and exciting opportunities for academic and extracurricular exploration.
大一新生必须住在校园里，而且男女生不会混层居住。在开学之前，每个学院的学监已经为所有即将入学的新生分配好了其所归属的住宿学院。这个分配是基于两方面的考虑的：相容性与多样性。尽管学院的分配总体上是依据学生各自的生活习惯的， 但是学生同时也很期待能在套间中感受到一些耶鲁的多样性。大一过后，学生可以自己选择室友，房间的分配也是由学院采取抽签决定的。学生整个四年（或四年以上） 都隶属于自己所在的住宿学院。这种住宿学院体制在为学生提供一个熟悉并且舒适的住宿环境的同时，也方便了学生与教职员工及行政人员的个人交往，此外这也为学生提供了更多有趣的学术及课余探索机会。
