Chapter 1633: Chapter 860: Is This Mist City Arts and Science University?_2

Since Zhang Yuping learned that Mist City Arts and Science University started to construct the southern campus, she had plans in her mind for the canteen construction there.

On the southern campus, a total of three canteens were planned, which is two less than the northern campus, but this is reasonable. The scale and planned population of the southern campus aren’t on the same level as the northern campus.

Currently, this campus will still be the main campus of Mist City Arts and Science University, while the southern campus is to alleviate pressure and better plan the development of various departments at Mist City Arts and Science University.

After all, if another campus like this one, over seven thousand acres, were to be built, it would be somewhat of a resource surplus. Mist City Arts and Science University, including both undergraduates and postgraduates, would have just over five hundred thousand students at most each year.

And right now, the campus capacity of Mist City Arts and Science University exceeds three hundred thousand people.

So, when constructing the southern campus, the planned capacity will be slightly smaller than this current campus.

Besides, with two campuses, north and south, the campus size of Mist City Arts and Science University will basically be sufficient, and if Ding Yue’s Metaverse Plan succeeds, students can attend classes in the Metaverse, saving a lot of physical infrastructure resources.

Therefore, Ding Yue is eagerly looking forward to the day his Metaverse Plan is formally established.

The true Metaverse is filled with infinite charm.

Because in the Metaverse, everything is virtual, yet seems so real. What you gain in the Metaverse is closely related to reality; thus, with virtual infrastructure in the Metaverse, a lot of resources can be saved in the real world, benefiting the development of all humanity.

Of course, the Metaverse also has drawbacks; it’s not a perfect existence.

After all, if the Metaverse truly takes off, humans living in the Metaverse will have increased dependency on it, which is a disadvantage for humanity.

"Let’s eat."

Just as Ding Yue was pondering his Metaverse Plan again, his mother, Zhang Yuping, brought over the food. It had been a long time since the three of them had such a good meal together.

"Mom, did you make this?"

Ding Yue asked, looking at the fragrant dishes.

However, Zhang Yuping shook her head, "I didn’t have time to cook today. The food was made by the canteen staff, who are graduates from our Mist City Arts and Science University’s culinary arts department."

"Is that so? Let me taste the handiwork."

Ding Yue picked up his chopsticks and casually tried a dish.

Wow!

The taste is spot on!

Delicious and fragrant, it’s simply a delight.

"It seems that the students from our Mist City Arts and Science University’s culinary arts department have learned well. With skills like these, is the canteen packed every day?"

Ding Yue said to his mother, Zhang Yuping, with a smile.

Even though Ding Yue often ate at the Fifth Canteen, there were times when he didn’t, so he couldn’t guarantee that what he saw as crowded meant it was crowded every day.

"Of course."

Zhang Yuping nodded, proudly saying, "From morning till night, the canteen is always busy. Son, you may not believe it, but there are quite a few people here even at midnight having a snack."

"Does our canteen serve late-night snacks too?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue asked curiously.

Ding Yue usually only had late-night snacks here when there were events at the school canteen.

Has it already extended to providing late-night snacks for all the students?

"Yes, now our canteen has three shifts of staff, so naturally, we also provide late-night snacks." Zhang Yuping explained.

"Oh, that’s nice, offering a more diverse range of dining options for students."

Ding Yue had no objections to this; to young people, late-night snacks are perfectly normal, although one shouldn’t eat too much late at night, as it can easily lead to weight gain, considering late-night snacks usually consist of rich, oily, and salty foods, primarily barbecues.

And so, Ding Yue continued eating while chatting with his parents about various school matters.

After the meal, Ding Yue went to check the various logistics at the school, including the purchase of bedding and the supply of resources to the supermarket.

Needless to say, as Mist City Arts and Science University was about to welcome a new batch of students, every department did a great job in ensuring resources were in place, certainly thanks to the logistics department’s overall planning. Huang managed it exceptionally well, and handing over the logistics department to Huang was indeed a good choice back then.

After all the preparations at Mist City Arts and Science University were completed.

In the blink of an eye, it was already late August.

Gradually, some new students began arriving at Mist City Arts and Science University ahead of schedule.

The registration days for new students at Mist City Arts and Science University were from August 23 to 27, five days in total.

It used to be only three days for new student registration.

That was because there weren’t as many new students before, and for thousands of students, the process could be orderly completed in three days.

But now it’s different. Mist City Arts and Science University’s annual new student numbers will exceed one hundred thousand. If all these newcomers were crammed into three days for registration, it would mean over thirty thousand or even more than forty or fifty thousand people a day, which would be overwhelming for the staff welcoming them.

Therefore, after research by this year’s academic affairs office, the decision was made to extend the registration period for new students from three to five days. This would allow new students to report to the school better and enable the staff responsible for registration to conduct the process more smoothly.

Although the registration for new students started on August 23rd, some new students began arriving at Mist City Arts and Science University around August 19th or 20th.

Since they must complete registration before moving into their dorms, those who arrived early had to stay in hotels temporarily.

They came early mainly to explore the campus environment at Mist City Arts and Science University, familiarize themselves with this place where they would study for four years or even longer, so they were prepared to stay in hotels. Additionally, those new students who could afford to arrive at Mist City Arts and Science University early to get familiar with the surroundings certainly had families in good condition, and paying for hotels was not a problem.

A large portion of the students admitted to Mist City Arts and Science University each year actually come from families with very favorable conditions.

Even those from less affluent families, as long as they put in the effort at Mist City Arts and Science University, can change their fate by learning professional knowledge here, achieving their life goals, and improving life for themselves and their families.

Ding Yue could vouch for that!

"Wow, this campus looks so new."

"Don’t you feel the excellent study atmosphere? I see many students walking around campus with books in their hands."

"Yes, isn’t it summer break for the upperclassmen right now?"

"It’s not yet the start of the school year, and there’s already such a good study atmosphere. That’s great."

"I see the Book Ship Library."

"There’s even a giant panda in the north! Mist City Arts and Science University is amazing."

"Ah! I’ve finally arrived at the Mist City Arts and Science University that I’ve been longing for. I can’t wait to spend four years here."

"I’m here to achieve my life dream."

"How did you score on the College Entrance Examination?"

The new students who arrived early at Mist City Arts and Science University met up, introduced themselves, and began chatting.

Their unanimous assessment of this campus was highly positive. Is this the renowned Mist City Arts and Science University?

Indeed, it’s even better than imagined, whether in terms of campus vitality or the newness of campus facilities, all showcasing the extraordinary nature of this campus.
