Wayefana nokuthi, 'Ngubani, yayinjani loo nto?' Utshilo le ntombazana kutsha nje, echaza ukuba abantu bahlala besenza oku kuye, kwaye uhlala ezama ukuba yinyani malunga nayo. Ndandifana, 'Owu, uyazi, ikholeji! Bekumnandi! Ngoba ndandizothini?
Ukuzonwabisa nje, le ndoda, eyayikhe yafunda naseYale, yenza ngathi iye kwimbangi yayo enkulu yaseyunivesithi, eHarvard. Wandibuza ukuba yeyiphi indlu endikuyo, yatsho intombazana, ibhekisa kumalungiselelo okuhlala eHarvard. Ndaze ndathi, ‘Owu, eneneni, uYale unenkqubo yekholeji…
Ah, inomdla… watsho umfana.
Emva koko, xa emkayo, intombazana iyakhumbula, umhlobo wakhe weza kwaye wayefana, 'Wayekugezela ngokupheleleyo! Wayekudidi luka-98. '
Oo, iiYalies: imvo yakho yokungaqondi; ukuthetha kwakho ngokuphandle, ngokuphandle; ubumsulwa bakho bothando! Njengokuba abaphumeleleyo kwiikholeji ze-Ivy League bezilungiselela ngobuninzi ukwehla eManhattan ukuya kufundela ehlotyeni, kufanelekile ukuba uqaphele ii-quirks ezikhethekileyo ze-Yalie-i-Yalien-isidalwa sasemzini esibonakaliswe luluhlu lweempawu ezinqabileyo, eziphikisanayo ezizahlula kuye wonke umntu yamandla kwesi sixeko.
Kunzima ukumfundisisa, nangona kunjalo, kuba-ngokungafaniyo neHarvardian-iYaliens ayiqokeleli kwimingxunya yamandla efana INew York Times okanye NgoMgqibelo ebusuku. Endaweni yokuba bazisasaze esixekweni sonke: iigalari, iifemu zomthetho, kwaye-nantsi, uLorin Stein, umhleli omtsha oyintloko Uphengululo lweParis .
Ngomnxeba ovela kwii-ofisi zakhe ngenye imini, uMnumzana Stein (udidi luka-95) wazi khumbula iintsuku zakhe ebaleka neqela labantu base Yale ngaphandle kwenkampasi — ngokwenkcazo yakhe, iqela labangaphantsi abathandabuzekayo nababethambekele ekuyileni ababesitya kwaye besela. nabafundi begrad kunye noonjingalwazi, kwaye ngubani obonanayo ngalo lonke ixesha kwaye bahlala kunye.
Kwakukho uluvo lokuba iziko lenze indawo yoonobumba, utshilo uStein. Yayiyindawo apho kwakukho imivalo kunye neefestile apho ungqubeka ebantwini ujonge kubo kwaye ufuna ukufunda kubo. Kwakukho ukufunda okuninzi ngokwakho okuqhubekayo. Abahlobo bam yayiziintlobo zabantu ababedla ngokusika iiklasi kodwa babekufunda nzulu kakhulu. Emva koko waphuma nayo: INew Haven yayiyimbono yam ngeNew York.
‘INTO ENCINANE’
Ngokwengxelo yokugqibela eprintiweyo yeYale Alumni, bekukho ngaphezulu kwe-10,000 Yale izidanga ezihlala eManhattan ngo-2004, nangaphezulu nje kwama-2,000 eBrooklyn. Ewe kunjalo, oko kubandakanya abaphumelele izidanga kunye nezikolo zobungcali ukongeza kwezo zekholeji, kodwa sekunjalo: ngoRobert Weil, umhleli ovela kuWW U-Norton owabonelela ngobubele ngala manani, inani lama-Yale amanyeneyo eManhattan naseBrooklyn angalingana phantse neeklasi ezili-10 zesidanga sokuqala.
Kukho umbono phakathi kwabahlali base Yaliens — abantu base New York ababengengabo abomdabu phakathi kwabo, ubuncinci — ukuba isixeko sesabo. Banqwenela ubunini bayo xa befika, bejongana nomona onxungupheleyo abaphumeleleyo baseColumbia naseNYU. phakathi kwabo esele beneminyaka emine belapha.
Baza kugibisela amagama eendawo ngendlela abantwana baseHarvard abangenayo, omnye umfundi waseColumbia wakhalaza. Baza kuthi, 'NdiseBotanica,' nokuba abazi ukuba wena, umntu ofunda esikolweni apha, uyazi ukuba yintoni iBotanica, ngelixa ndicinga ukuba abantwana baseHarvard bangathi, 'ndise-bar eSoho. Ibizwa ngokuba yiBotanica. '
Naxa bekhula bephuma kwinqanaba elinzima, i-Yaliens eNew York iyaqhubeka nokuba nolwalamano olukhethekileyo kwisixeko sabo. Inxalenye yengxaki kukuba abanye babo bayayibona njengesixeko sabo.
INew York yiyadi yangasemva kweYale, utshilo uRichard Bradley, intatheli yemagazini ophumelele eYale e1986 kwaye wabhala ukubhala malunga neHarvard. Yinto oyithatha kancinci-uyintlanzi, ngoko ke uyadada elwandle.
Umlingane kaMnu Bradley, umhleli weSlate uJacob Weisberg, wayecacisa ngakumbi kodwa engacacanga ncam. Ndiyathetha, uWilliamsburg luhlobo lwekhampasi yaseYale ngaphandle kweeklasi, akunjalo? uthe. IBrooklyn apho baphumelela khona abafundi baseYale; IWashington yindawo apho abaphumeleleyo eHarvard. IHarvard, nangona ithumela abafundi abaninzi eNew York-molweni! Le ntatheli phakathi kwabo-ayinabo ubudlelwane obufanayo neNew York neYale-ngokuyinxenye ngesizathu esilula sokuba kude kakhulu (iiyure ezine ezinesiqingatha ngebhasi ukusuka eBoston; iyure enye kunye nemizuzu engama-45 yiMetro-North ukusuka Indawo eNtsha).
Njengoko uMnu Bradley ebeka: IHarvard Club isaziva kum njengenkampu yesinye isixeko-ngathi yinkampani yenkampani esekwe kwenye indawo. Iklabhu yaseYale iziva ngakumbi… andazi, iYale neNew York zihlala zihamba kunye. Ewe kunjalo.
Abantu baseYaliens eNew York baziva benyanisekile omnye komnye. Uninzi lwazo luyakuthanda ukuxhoma kunye, kwaye lukhetha ukuxhoma nabani na.
KANINZI: Inkqubo emfutshane kwi-Ivy-ology>
NgoMgqibelo, nge-10 ka-Epreli, iqela labafundi abasandula ukufumana izidanga kwikholeji bahlanganisana kwigumbi elinendlu encinci enedolophu yaseBrooklyn kwitheko. Iiposta zeTigerBeat zikaJustin Bieber zazixhonywe ngokungathandekiyo ezindongeni; efrijini, bekukho inqaku eliphuma kumazantsi angabamelwane elikhalaza ngeenkonkxa zebhiya ezipasejini. Abantu benyuka baphuma ngefestile bayokutshaya xa kuphuncuka umlilo ngelixa abahlobo abambalwa abafike emva kwexesha bema ekhitshini besela kwibhotile yewhiskey abayithenge kwivenkile yotywala ezantsi kwesitalato.
