Aries
(3/21–4/19)
Personality Snapshot: Aries is energetic, passionate, and outspoken—like an unstoppable cockroach or a determined dung beetle.* Ahem! Perfect for New York University!!
Best Match: New York University
NYU’s headquarters sits in the heart of Manhattan, New York City—a place brimming with vitality, passion, and cultural diversity where different influences collide and spark fresh ideas. NYU students love life and are full of energy; here they quickly adapt to the fast-paced rhythm of learning and living.
NYU’s open campus injects new energy into the entire New York City. Here Aries will find ever-renewing inspiration, fueling their boundless vitality and creativity.
Taurus
(4/20–5/20)
Personality Snapshot: Taurus is cautious and prudent (stingy), frugal and thrifty (stingy), and follows Virgo like a shadow (still stingy).
Best Match: Yale University
Yale, a venerable American institution, is nestled in the small town of New Haven, Connecticut. The rich cultural heritage gives the town an antique, tranquil charm. The city suits Taurus perfectly (though living costs are said to be high~). Its deep-rooted cultural legacy exudes steadiness and gravitas. Taurus’s abundant inspiration and Yale’s unique campus environment enhance each other beautifully.
Gemini
(5/21–6/21)
Personality Snapshot: Gemini loves change, brims with curiosity, is sweet-tongued and charming, thinks broadly, can multi-task effortlessly, and has many exes. Yep.
Best Match: Columbia University
Located in Upper Manhattan, Columbia University differs from NYU. The pace around campus is noticeably slower than the rest of New York City.
Columbia blends NYC’s dynamism and complexity with its own simplicity and depth. Its traditionally strong programs in journalism and media align perfectly with Gemini’s natural gifts (you know what we mean).
Cancer
(6/22–7/22)
Personality Snapshot: Cancer overflows with maternal love, is tender-hearted, exquisitely sensitive, and deeply devoted—a veritable little fairy (or prince).
Best Match: University of Pennsylvania
Located in the first capital of the United States, Penn seems tailor-made for Cancer. Its motto “Laws without morals are in vain” resonates deeply with Cancer’s strong moral compass.
As the fourth-oldest university in the U.S., Penn has a generally conservative ethos, emphasizing the integration of knowledge and action, so it favors grounded, dependable students in admissions.
Leo
(7/23–8/22)
Personality Snapshot: Sometimes a gentle, adorable kitten, sometimes a roaring lioness—if you can’t win, coax; if coaxing fails, run.
Best Match: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
MIT, perched along the Charles River in Boston, has absorbed the essence of heaven and earth to nurture countless elite scientists and engineers.
Whenever someone mentions STEM schools, MIT is the first name that comes to mind. An institution that holds a reigning position in science and technology is the perfect stage for the sunny, confident, and magnanimous Leo.
Virgo
(8/23–9/22)
Personality Snapshot: Lovely, beautiful, generous, graceful, elegant—this is the author herself.
Best Match: Johns Hopkins University
Johns Hopkins’ main campus is in the port city of Baltimore, with some divisions in Washington, D.C. The research, learning, and social environment here is top-notch. Walking across campus, you’re infected by the atmosphere—students are passionate, it’s a gathering place for elites, footsteps are brisk yet expressions remain relaxed. Influenced by the surrounding political climate, the campus is pristine and alumni interactions are courteous—ideal for the perfectionist Virgo.
Libra
(9/23–10/22)
Personality Snapshot: Kind-hearted, exceedingly good at making friends, strong communicator, takes the initiative in love, and is a senior member of the looks-obsessed club—unrivaled.
Best Match: Harvard University
Harvard’s status in the hearts of Chinese people goes without saying. Harvard students not only possess outstanding academic ability but are also well-rounded—they are geniuses, eccentrics, and therefore they do as they please. Wherever there’s a topic in the world, Harvard is present.
Harvard students have broad horizons; they care about society and the world, yet they are not reckless—they are people who turn ideals into reality. Libra is the sign that upholds fairness and justice, deeply concerned with all facets of society—exactly the trait Harvard students take pride in.
Scorpio
(10/23–11/22)
Personality Snapshot: If they can communicate with emojis, they won’t waste words.
Best Match: Dartmouth College
Dartmouth is an Ivy League member yet remains remarkably low-key, easily overlooked. The proportion of Chinese students admitted is extremely low. Much like the chilly climate of the northern United States, Dartmouth maintains a reserved exclusivity, with exceptionally high admission standards and a principle of treating all applicants equally regardless of background.
The tranquil surroundings suit Scorpio’s introspective and grudge-holding nature, while the fresh, delicious dining options cater to Scorpio’s picky, unforgetting palate.
Sagittarius
(11/23–12/22)
Personality Snapshot: Happier than a dog every day—truly. Loves freedom, fiercely independent, as untamed as the wind. Rumor has it that if you tell them you like them, they’ll stop liking you (take note).
Best Match: Carnegie Mellon University
Carnegie Mellon is notorious for its rigorous training and heavy workload, consistently landing on lists of “universities where students are worked like dogs.” The perpetually cheerful Sagittarius takes this in stride with ease and diligence. Paired with a nose for the unknown sharper than a hound’s, they quickly meld into the school’s academic atmosphere.
Capricorn
(12/23 – 1/19)
Personality Snapshot: “When seeing injustice, roar out—when it’s time to act, act.” That song could be for Capricorn, because they have a chivalrous heart, are utterly sincere, rock-steady, innately calm, and possess a strong sense of responsibility—though perhaps a bit tight-lipped.
Best Match: Princeton University
Princeton resembles an old European aristocrat—understated luxury, reserved yet extraordinary. Princeton favors students who are down-to-earth, modest, and academically rigorous—and the prudent, cautious Capricorn is Princeton’s favorite.
Princeton’s temperament matches its architecture: grey-hued and unobtrusive, never seeking the limelight.
The mature, steady Capricorn fits seamlessly into this serene atmosphere, never feeling tense or anxious, but rather transforming step by step into a true noble.
Aquarius
(1/20 – 2/18)
Personality Snapshot: The only flaw of Aquarius is that their exes can’t sing the song “It’s a Pity I’m Not Aquarius.”
Best Match: Cornell University
Cornell sits in the small city of Ithaca, New York, which students lovingly mock as “Corn-village.” In this quiet town, Cornell students pour their youthful passion into love and food. Cornell’s dining halls are ranked No. 1 in the U.S., and the proportion of alumni who marry each other is also the highest nationwide. Freedom-loving, romantic, pleasure-seeking Aquarius—what are you waiting for?
Pisces
(2/19 – 3/22)
Personality Snapshot: Speaking of Pisces—god of fantasy, god of schemes, god of romance, god of indecision, god of sentimentality, god of impracticality. Such a sign perfectly matches Brown University, nestled in scenic Rhode Island, with its free-spirited, whimsically unconventional character.
Best Match: Brown University
At Brown, required courses comprise less than half of the curriculum; the rest is left for students to explore based on their interests and curiosity. Over 20% of students pursue double majors.
Politically, Brown is favored by Democrats—John F. Kennedy and Jimmy Carter both sent their children here—while the rock and fashion worlds also have a soft spot for Brown. On such a free, radical campus where exploration and reform thrive, inquisitive Pisces will always be the standout fish swimming at ease!
