英语六级易考范文第8篇:On a Second Suburban² Campus of a University 一所大学的第二个郊外校区

The second campus of universities springs up like mushroom in suburban areas in recent years.

It is really hard to say when the first second campus came out, or which university was the origin, but this pattern is quickly replicated³, and now it’s challenging to find a university with only one campus.

The causes for this fashion may be obvious.

Firstly, the new enrollment policy encourages universities to admit freshmen⁴ on a much largerscale than the past.

Accordingly, the original facilities, including classrooms, apartments, dining halls, laboratories, libraries and the like, all become insufficient⁵.

Secondly, the land in urban area is costly⁶, and universities can hardly afford it.

A second campus in the suburb¹ can not only accommodate the swelling⁷ student body, but isrealistically affordable⁸ and economical due to the relatively⁹ lower price of land and other essentials.

As a student of a university with a second campus, though enjoying more space, I have also experienced inconvenience between the two campuses, because of the divided education resources, the less direct communication with otherstudents and teachers, and the time- and money-consuming come-and-go.

Therefore, we should think twice before another second campus is set up.
