Sichuan University
In your heart, what should an excellent "school dormitory" look like? Extremely good-looking, talented, and outstanding in learning?
There is a special group at Sichuan University. They are the first " West China Biological National Higher Education Innovation Class" that has just graduated. The further study rate is nearly 80%, and among them, there is also a "school-to-school female dormitory" . The 6 girls not only have beautiful and talented beauty, but also have experiences that many people have not had before - changing the professional track in the middle and changing majors for their dreams.

Among the six people in the dormitory, Wang Zhi and Su Xiaoyu, as direct doctoral students, will go to Peking University for further studies. Tian Lu will also enter Tsinghua University as direct doctoral students to study. Zhao Xiaoxiao will be admitted to Shanghai Jiaotong University . Liu Pinyan will go to the University of Washington in the United States for further studies. Liao Hang chose to find a job and entered a headhunting company.
They have a common name: The first "West China Biological National Intensive Innovation Class" of Sichuan University 304 dormitory . Four of the 6 people entered the biology majors they are studying by changing their majors. Before they switched their majors, they majored in light chemical engineering, chemical engineering and technology , and even majors such as French that are not related to biology.
Regarding their experience in changing majors and their current achievements, they said in unison: "It's all because of love!"
Dare to pursue their dreams just to like
Su Xiaoyu, Liu Pinyan, and Tian Lu all transferred from other majors to the "Xiangxi Biological National Innovative Class" through the school's major transfer channel for the first semester of the junior year, and Wang Zhi transferred from the second semester of the sophomore year.
's choice to change majors means that they have to give up their original familiar majors and complete the courses they have fallen in their new majors in their future studies. This is not an easy task. But their focus on interests and best desire for dreams makes them turn around bravely.
Wang Zhi has liked nature since he was a child and felt that life is very wonderful. After entering high school, she developed a strong interest in emerging medical methods such as biomedical and gene therapy, but when she entered Sichuan University, she was transferred to the French major. "Since my fate has allowed me to learn French, then learn it." Wang Zhi hid his yearning for biology learning in his heart and achieved excellent results in his French major.
What she didn't expect was that Sichuan University will open to change majors in the second semester of her sophomore year, and there will be a West China Biological Innovation Class! "The fire in my heart" ignited again, "I want to seize this opportunity!" Wang Zhi made up his mind, but at the same time he was also confused: "I have been studying French for two years, and I have really no idea when I switched from liberal arts to science."
Wang Zhi
After successfully changing majors, in order to learn biology science well, Wang Zhi took the initiative to relegate to one year. She always sat in the first row of class listening to the teacher's lectures, always after class chasing the teacher to ask questions, minimize entertainment activities, and work harder every day during the exam week ...
In the end, Wang Zhi, who changed his literature and science, became the first place in in professional courses, and became more and more confident on the road to pursuing dreams by working hard.
With an interest in scientific research, Liu Pinyan and Tian Lu transferred from chemical engineering and technology and light chemical engineering to the West China Biological National High-tech Innovation Class. " because I can go to the laboratory for experiments here very early! " they said.
Liu Pinyan
Faced with the pressure of full class schedules for the whole year after changing majors, Liu Pinyan was not afraid: "This is a good opportunity, but it's just a little hard work, it's worth it!" Tian Lu also said: "In the National High-tech Innovation Class, we can integrate into the laboratory very early, which will be very helpful for students who are interested in the field of life science research in the future."
Tian Lu
Su Xiaoyu transferred to the National High-tech Innovation Class of West China Biology with a yearning for learning interdisciplinary subjects."I learned from various materials that the field of biomedicine will have good development prospects in the future. is in the National Higher Education Department, and provides more resources for across multiple disciplines such as chemistry, pharmacy, biology, etc. These superior learning conditions make me resolutely loyal to my heart and pursue my dreams!" Su Xiaoyu said.

Get up early and work hard, and do your best to
"Get up early", which is the tag of dormitory 304.
Before the four girls could celebrate their joy of successfully switching majors, they received a huge challenge - to complete a large number of basic courses in biology in the sophomore year.
So, getting up early and working hard became a habit in dormitory 304. Tian Lu often gets up at 7 o'clock and goes to study English in the morning. She said: "Hurrying to this major, you will feel guilty when you wake up late. ."
Although you get up early, everyone does not sleep early. Wang Zhi, who has switched from French to biology, slept the latest among the six people. Because the French major does not study math and physics courses, Wang Zhi had not been exposed to math and physics courses for two years when he transferred to the biology major, which made Wang Zhi need to take more basic courses.
"Monday to Friday, my courses are full every day, and I will not go to bed until 12 o'clock every day. The exam week will be even later because I may have to take five exams a day," said Wang Zhi.
For dormitory 304, after class, it is normal for life to go straight from the classroom to the library or study room to study until the door is closed at night.
When talking about the exam, Liu Pinyan smiled: "Our dormitory is very accurate in predicting the range of the exam."
It turns out that every time the exam stage, dormitory 304 will discuss the content related to the exam before eating or going to bed. Because everyone listens carefully in class and reviews carefully after class, they can often accurately predict the range of several types of questions through guessing.
In addition to carrying out "prediction activities" during the exam week, dormitory 304 will also communicate with each other about learning English. People who took the TOEFL test in the dormitory got high scores of more than 100 .
undergraduate research, strive to become a talent
Sichuan University West China Biology National Higher Education Innovation Class always puts innovation and interest first in student training . To this end, the National Innovation Class of West China Biology has created the "laboratory rotation" training session among undergraduates, allowing students to enter the national key laboratories and the research team of scientific research experts at the undergraduate stage, and gradually gather interest in learning and research.
is this training link that broadens the horizons of the girls in dormitory 304.

What is laboratory rotation?
It turns out that when students of the West China Biological Innovation Class choose research directions and scientific research tutors, they do not choose well and cannot change them. Instead, has three rotation opportunities - at different stages, students can choose different tutors to go to different laboratories for basic scientific research training, contact different cutting-edge fields, and gradually focus on their research interests.
Liao Hang changed three laboratories during her laboratory rotation. During the first laboratory rotation, she learned the basic operation of scientific research; during the second laboratory rotation, she developed the habit of actively acquiring knowledge and skills; during the third laboratory rotation, she felt the impact of the good and relaxed atmosphere of the laboratory on teachers and students.
"Senior brothers and sisters trust me very much in many experiments and encourage me to try it. This feeling of being trusted will make me more serious in the laboratory." Liao Hang said.

Su Xiaoyu placed all her three rotation opportunities in a laboratory. "Although she has always been instructed by the same teacher, the research contacts are also very wide." At first, her research topic was "The impact of the interaction between epigenetic modifications on the maintenance of stem cell stemness". Later, under the guidance of her mentor, she participated in the Sichuan University innovation and entrepreneurship project "Research on the Molecular Mechanism of Cisplatin Resistance in Ovarian Cancer"
"Through laboratory rotation, I learned experimental technology and came into contact with real scientific research!" said Su Xiaoyu.
The learning experience in the laboratory gave the girls in dormitory 304 to a certain scientific research foundation: "This is not only helpful for us to apply for famous foreign schools, but also makes us feel the care of the school."
Liu Pinyan did an experiment at Notre Dame University in the United States
Tian Lu was also very touched by this: "When I participated in some scientific research exchange activities, I chatted with classmates from other schools in the same grade and found that my experience was different from them. When we were sophomore, we would go to the laboratory and learn a lot in advance, which made them envious ."
Of course, behind the harvest is exponential efforts.
Participating in the "laboratory rotation" forced the girls in dormitory 304 to travel back and forth between Sichuan University Wangjiang campus and West China campus every day. Sometimes it may be because the experiments and courses are arranged in one day, and you still need to run back and forth several times.
"I really felt tired at that time." Tian Lu remembered that she traveled back and forth between Wangjiang and West China campus three times in a day, "but all are worth it." She said and smiled again.
versatile, making life better
In addition to busy study and scientific research, they are also constantly pursuing improvement in their hobbies.
Liu Pinyan started learning Chinese dance since he was four years old and served as the head of the dance troupe of Sichuan University.
She remembered her first experience when she was in charge of the dance troupe's recruitment: "Every day, I ran from Wangjiang to Jiang'an to recruitment after class. Even after spraining my ankle and causing a bone to crack in a performance, I continued to participate in the recruitment activity."
Recalling this experience, Liu Pinyan felt a little "crazy", but she also said: "I don't like to bother others very much, and I want to take responsibility for myself."

With the efforts of Liu Pinyan and his members, the Sichuan University Dance Troupe won the national third prize and provincial first prize of the 8th Student Art Festival.
Zhao Xiaoxiao and Liu Pinyan are not only roommates, but also partners in the school dance troupe. She is not only good at dancing, but also has great achievements in painting and calligraphy. "Art can help me jump out of this circle when I am under a lot of pressure." Zhao Xiaoxiao said.

Wang Zhi will play Go when he is free. She has studied Go since she was a child and has become a national second-level athlete in Go. Now, Go still integrates Wang Zhi's hobbies in daily life. "Go is very helpful for me to learn mathematics and exercise logical thinking."
6 young girls all like reading and traveling. Liao Hang and Tian Lu choose to read books in their spare time, while Liu Pinyan and Wang Zhi have already visited many places on the land of the motherland.
Speaking of the most unforgettable moments when everyone was together in college in recent years, they painted a picture to Dachuan:
Every day at noon, everyone came back from the canteen to get dinner together, sat in front of their computer, began to chase their favorite variety shows and TV series, discuss and gossip each other, and laughed one after another in the dormitory from time to time...
