又到一年放榜季。当"先选城市再选学校"渐成共识时，曾被戏称"大学洼地"的深圳，正悄悄挤进考生志愿表的首栏。 三次热潮 辜晓进把深圳建大学的热潮分为三个阶段，第一波早在特区成立之初就已启动。 20世纪80年代，正值深圳经济特区建设的关键时期，大量外来务工人员涌入，百业待兴，急需大量专业人才。为满足需求，深大于1983年开始筹办。当时， 深圳市财政收入每年仅为1亿多元，但深圳市政府仍计划拨款5000万元建设深大。深大的建立，在中国高等教育发展史上也是一个经典案例：从提议创办到 正式开课，只用了半年多时间——充分体现了深圳速度。 深大带来的惊喜不仅是速度。建校伊始，它就采用了与内地高校不同的理念，几项开创性做法至今仍被称道。比如，借鉴了一些国外名校的做法，校园最初 不设围墙，让高校与社会保持紧密联系，这一做法持续了十多年。后来，由于深大周边出现了不少城中村，为保护校园教学环境才筑起围墙。 此外，深大还开创了"学生自治"的模式：金融专业的学生自建学生银行，进行财务管理和金融操作。学生可以通过学生银行，在校园内的各个饭堂、商店进 行资金周转，形成校内小循环金融系统。 "毕业生满足基本条件，可由学校联系孵化企业或合作企业 ...
