在上期“驾驭校园系统”中，我们介绍了五点帮你“赢在起跑线”上的提示，这期我们将继续介绍另外五点提示。
6. Use the healthcare system.
6. 使用“健康系统”
Most colleges, especially those with a med school, offer an amazing array of services. They can treat virtually any malady you might have, physical as well as psychological. And it’s all free, that is, prepaid by your tuition or student fees. So next time you’re not feeling up to par, seek out the treatment, before you infect your whole dorm with mono, or worse. And don’t neglect the various health and lifestyle workshops they often run, such as the stress management workshops, or, if appropriate, substance-management clinics, that typically pop up around exam time.
绝大多数的大学院校，特别是那些医学院，常常提供一系列赞得惊人的服务。他们几乎可以治疗你可能患有的任何疾病，不论是生理上的还是心理上的。而且，这些都是不需要再交纳任何费用的，其实是包含在你已经支付过的学费和学生杂费中的。所以下次你感到不适的时候，别自己扛着了，赶快寻求治疗吧，别拖到保全宿舍的人都传染了，甚至更严重的情况。也不要忽略学校运营的各种各样的健康和生活方式研讨会，例如压力管理研讨会，或者，如果你觉得适合，物质管理诊疗，这些通常都在临近期末的时候举行。
7. Use the support services.
7.使用“支持服务”
Many schools have as many special service offices as they have academic departments. Depending on your needs, you might make good use of the writing center, tutoring center, math lab, veterans center, international student office, or any of the myriad of others. Keep in mind that this part of the “system” can be of real help, and that, again, you’ve already paid for these services (whether you use them or not).
大多学校都有学术部，其由各个特殊服务办公室组成。依据你的需求，你可以好好利用写作中心、辅导中心、数学实验室、老兵（退伍军人）中心、国际学生办公室，或者任何五花八门的其他服务。“学校系统”中这一块可以非常有用，并且，和前面一样，这些服务你无须再付费，因为其实你已经付过费了（不论你使用与否）。
8. Barter for parking.
8. 讨个停车位
At large universities, one of the worst problems is where to park your car before you park yourself in lecture. If student parking is two miles from the nearest classroom, consider buying parking from a staff member or faculty member who, for whatever reason isn’t using his or her pass. Getting to class not sweating like a pig can be worth the few hundred dollars the privileged parking costs. (Note that at some schools this is technically illegal, so approach your target cautiously).
在规模较大的大学中，最糟糕头疼的问题之一就是在上课找座位前为心爱的坐骑找车位。如果学生车位离最近的教室距离两英里，考虑下从出于各种原因而不用车位的校工或者教职工那边购买个闲置的停车位吧。不用满身大汗的赶到了课堂值得你破费几百美金儿而得到的特权停车位。（需要注意的是，在部分学校，这种做法严格意义上是不合法的，所以如果你要这么做的话要谨慎小心行事。）
9. Keep on top of your progress-to-degree.
9. 学位获取进程中保持优势
With the exception of some small, requirement-light colleges, most schools have heaps of requirements. At our college there’s the 40-hour rule, the 24-hour rule, the special intro courses for majors, not to mention the eight courses in the core, and 12 courses for the major. Make sure you know exactly what you need to be taking each year and, equally important, what you have left to complete your degree. You wouldn’t want the “system” to tell you a month before graduation that you’re two courses short– and that they won’t be offered until 2015!
虽然你所期待的是要求不高、比较轻松的大学，但是大多数高校都有着成堆的要求。例如，在我们的学校，有“40小时规定”、“24小时规定”、专业特殊介绍课程，更不用提及8门核心课程和12门专业课程。确保自己弄清楚每学年你需要做的事情，同样重要的是你还需要做哪些事情才能顺利完成并获取学位。你不会希望“系统”在临毕业前一个月通知你还有两门课程缺课，并且这些课再次开课要在2015年。
If you have any transfer credits, keep an eagle eye out to be sure your classes actually have been officially transferred — and that they have transferred into the proper course equivalents. Many four-year colleges have agreements with local or regional community colleges about how their courses transfer (these are called “articulation agreements”), but still the “system” often screws up transfer credits, making it necessary for you to pay a visit to the transfer office or your faculty adviser to resolve matters.
如果你有任何的转换学分，千千万万要盯死并确定你的课程已经正式官方的被转换登记在案——并且被等价的转换到合适的课程中。许多四年制大学都与当地或地区的社区大学有着关于课程转换的协议（这就是所谓的“衔接协议”），然而实际中“系统”常常把这些转换学分绩点搞得乱码七糟。这也就说你真的需要亲自去学分转换办公室或者找辅导员去解决这些事情。
10. Locate the right official.
10. 锁定正确官方
The single most important tip for navigating the “system” is to find the individual whose job it is to run the part of the system you’re having trouble with. No matter how large the university, there’s always one (or a series) of person(s) whose job it is to deal with problems like just the one you’re having. Before you unload at the person at the window or behind the desk, make sure he or she has the authority to actually solve your problem. And if you can’t figure out who that person is at your megaversity, go on over to the dean of student affairs office and ask for help. They will know and, with any luck, be happy to help you.
驾驭校园系统最最重要的一点提示就是去找“系统”中针对你的问题的具体负责人。不论学校有多大，总是有一个（或一群）人负责解决你正面临的问题。在你想那个计算机另一端或是坐着桌子后的负责人倾诉问题前，确定他或她的确有权力和能力解决你的问题。如果你无法确定在你的超级大学校里谁才是那个负责人，去学生事务处寻求帮助。他们不仅知道，如果幸运的话，会很乐意帮助你的。
