Features: The female dormitories at University A are a bit special. Each building's exterior wall has a cement-painted sign, painted white, with a bright red Arabic numeral in the center. This number has a diameter of over a meter and can be clearly seen from a distance. Besides this, the signs of other buildings are black. This arrangement always reminds one of Hawthorne's famous novel The Scarlet Letter. Perhaps the president had this intention in mind: the female dormitories at University A are not for just anyone. As a result, students at University A have completely different views on this clever president, divided by their year of enrollment. Freshmen mostly think the atmosphere here is strict, with a red building number serving as a reminder to impulsive and ignorant young people, which has a touch of romanticism. After sophomore year, opinions begin to differ: this old spinster, rumored to have never married her entire life, must have dark psychological shadows, otherwise she wouldn't go to such lengths for such a trivial detail. Three old women as dorm supervisors for the female dorms are enough—there's no need for such a bright red sign to remind the boys.
