How to find a suitable American university according to the university ranking?

1. Major: Because the United States not only ranks universities, but also ranks various majors. When looking for a job, your major plays a key role. Therefore, it is more reasonable to choose a university by major. For example, if you want to study medicine, Johns Hopkins University is more famous than Yale. If you want to learn computer technology and go to Harvard, you might as well go to Stanford, MIT or Carnegie Mellon.

2. Geographical location: The east and west coasts are relatively free and open. There are many people in China, so it is easy to survive. Texas is an exception. Cowboys and new immigrants are full of contradictions. The descendants of the former support Bush and like to use knives and guns. The latter is more open and likes Yao Ming. The new immigrants there are mainly Spanish-speaking South Americans.

3. Cost: Some students give up prestigious schools and go to state schools when they are undergraduates, which can reduce the financial burden of some universities for four years, and then go to the graduate schools of famous universities after graduation. Note: It takes more than eight years to study medicine in the United States to become a doctor. So in the United States, the word doctor is also the title of doctor. Because foreigners can't enjoy the preferential policies of state universities, the charm of state universities is greatly reduced for China people. However, even without preferential treatment, compared with private universities, state universities are still cheaper.

4. Culture: It is difficult for students in some noble schools to communicate. In many western and southern regions, there is a single religious belief, a single nation and a closed culture. Famous universities are full of different types of aristocratic clubs, and the membership fee may be tens of thousands of yuan. Moreover, even if you have money, people may not invite you to attend. The club may have its own building near the campus. In this environment, it is easy for China students to lose confidence. I think China students should not cater to anyone, just be themselves. Because China people are China people, not white, not black, unlike European immigrants. So you must believe in yourself; Take nature, self-confidence and self as the motto.

5. Environment: the school's diet, residence, sports, study, transportation, climate and other environments. For example, the temperature in California is mild; But there is no rain and dryness all the year round. The temperature in Florida is more like Guangdong. The climate in new york and Boston is the same as that in Beijing. If there is freedom of choice, is it more ideal to choose a more suitable environment? So these environmental factors will be more or less present to your college students.
