中国传媒大学 / Communication University of China

中国传媒大学 / Communication University of China appears in 140. 还可以的金女士：“所以人为什么要努力啊？！” as [[Jinzi|金子]]’s college choice after the gaokao. In the source, she could have chosen some more locally legible 985-style options, but picked journalism at CUC because of a news ideal.

The episode uses that choice to show how prestige systems can fail to recognize a path that makes sense inside a person’s own ambition. Her teacher’s uncertainty about whether the school was an art school becomes a small example of [[SmallTownExamTakerDiscipline|小镇做题家规训]]: local ranking language can make a meaningful specialized path feel “不入流.”
