Is it bad to study in Spain?

The so-called "unbearable" must be compared to get "comparable" and "unbearable", so this frame of reference is very important.

Moreover, the concept of "studying in Spain" covers a wide range, including two aspects of study and life, as well as its branches: major, course, school choice, language, residence, renting, interpersonal relationship, procedures, consumption and so on.

If you pick out any aspect, you can write a short essay of at least 1000 words.

But it is very important to look at the problem dialectically, and there are great differences, but there are always positive and negative factors in everything.

Studying in Spain under this topic can't escape this rule.

On the opposite side: the subject himself has already understood;

On the positive side: You can learn a lot from the answer of the study agent under this question.

Answer the Lord and say your own opinion.

There are four ways to study in Spain (pure language learning, inter-school communication and visiting academic exchanges are beyond the scope of this article):

High school: I don't understand this answer. There are friends around me from junior high school, mostly the second generation of Wenzhou and Qingtian immigrants.

Undergraduate course: Answering the Lord started from this stage, which will be introduced in detail later.

Master: Answer questions at the end of students' career, which will be discussed later.

Doctor: This answer is only a rough understanding, which can be roughly divided into three categories: students who are truly gifted to do research are mainly students with national scholarships; He translated domestic China literature and graduated just to get a diploma; I don't really want to study for a doctorate, I just want to stay, but I can't find a job at the moment or my employer is willing to change places.

Answer: I have been in Spain for more than ten years, and most of the institutions studying abroad have not started studying in Spain. At that time, there was a local Spanish study institution, a university of the United Nations, which provided one-stop services for studying in Spain (13 graduate students gradually emerged), including domestic language learning, visa application and overseas study services (including preparatory language 100% undergraduate).

This Spanish intermediary is still in operation and the system is very mature. At that time, four points were emphasized: Spain and China signed an educational cooperation agreement to recognize diplomas mutually, minority languages were in the initial stage in China, the cost of studying in Spain was more economical than that in Britain, the United States, Australia and Canada, and the follow-up services after going abroad for one year (including accompanying people to open bank accounts, apply for residence, apply for telephone cards, find home accommodation, etc.). ).

Answers came to Spain through this intermediary and were their early customers. The intermediary service itself is still reliable, and of course the money will not be less.

However, because there was no similar program in China ten years ago, the quality of students who finally signed up for the study abroad program was uneven, although there was a limit on the score line of the college entrance examination from the beginning. At the same time, inexperienced intermediaries underestimated the difficulty of these international students' Spanish undergraduate programs.

Results After the first batch in 2007, it stopped at around 12. More than half of the international students who participated in this program dropped out of the language school and returned to China. After entering the undergraduate course, nearly half of them dropped out of school and returned to China before the end of their sophomore year (because of language barriers, too many students failed in the next stage), resulting in very few international students who eventually graduated, let alone graduated on time.

Therefore, the phrase "Spanish undergraduate is difficult to graduate" comes from this.

However, there are several serious problems in this project: domestic one-year preparatory course+foreign one-year preparatory course (although guaranteed, two-year preparatory course wastes time); Low registration threshold leads to low quality of students; Students' poor learning ability and self-discipline lead to high dropout rate; Alternative Spanish universities have limited influence and their attractiveness continues to decline.

Intermediaries adjust their thinking, abandon schools in other regions, focus on Madrid and Barcelona, raise the registration threshold to 500+ points, and then shorten it to half a year in China+half a year in Spain before entering universities.

The rise of graduate students in Spain is around 13. There are two opportunities here: one is the earliest international students brought by this study abroad institution, mainly the first three sessions, on time and not on time; Secondly, Cuba's public undergraduate students graduated (the education support project for the development of the western region), and many people chose to go to Spain for further study.

These two groups are the largest group of international students in Spain around 13- 16. Their student origins overlap, and the interpersonal acquaintance rate within and between the two groups is extremely high.

At present, most of the local study agents active in Zhihu and Spain appeared at this time. Of course, at the same time, the background is frequent exchanges between China and the West. A notable feature is that there are more tour groups coming to the west. For example, El Corte Ingles, starting from this time node, is open for business every Sunday and holiday, with more tour groups and more Chinese-speaking cabbies.

Because the one-year Spanish graduate students don't have high language requirements (at that time) and the time is shorter than that of the domestic three-year graduate students, students who choose to study in Spain at one time flock.

Around this time, the topic "unbearable" began to appear, and all kinds of chaos of international students began to appear: the language was not up to standard, all subjects failed badly, cheating in exams, plagiarism in homework, plagiarism in papers, and even bribing teachers.

At the same time, more and more students spend money to buy time. At this time, many study agents made a lot of money, and more educational institutions entered the market, which led to vicious competition: taking exams, fake insurance, certificates from sellers and language schools, and so on.

The impression of Spanish teachers and classmates on the group of international students in China dropped rapidly because of a few mouse droppings, and the discrimination against international students in China began to rise. In addition, the local media like to beautify and discredit this group, which leads to the more difficult situation for later international students.

This phenomenon is more common in Madrid and Barcelona.

Answer: I didn't encounter these situations when I was an undergraduate. Teachers and classmates are very enthusiastic and concerned. There has never been a Spanish teacher. When you come to Spain, you should learn Spanish well. Instead, you should ask what difficulties you have in learning Spanish and what help you need, and try to provide some suggestions. As for Spanish students, let alone Botron and Carnival. Too many.

Later, the defendant left the south and went to Madrid to continue his postgraduate study. Of course, I applied for this process myself (the advantage of studying in Spain is that all the application materials are ready-made and there is no need for double certification). I applied for an offer first, but the respondents who were afraid of death and independence finally chose to go to Huka, Madrid for a holiday.

Why do you say "vacation"? When the applicant applies, he knows that this major is relatively water, and the difficulty is much lower than that of the undergraduate course. To put it bluntly, he came to get a diploma. Of course, I finally got to know these good teachers, and that's another story.

There are 28 students (including respondents) in the postgraduate class, and 26 students are from China. It is conceivable that this major is the purse opened by the university.

Of the 25 China students who answered the questions, no more than 5 graduated from Spain, the remaining half were sent by local Chinese education institutions in Spain, and the other half were cheated by domestic institutions.

Visually, two-thirds of the people's Spanish level has not reached B2 at all, and their homework basically depends on "learning from each other" or directly looking for writers to write for them.

As a village gunner who just came to the capital from a small city at that time, I was shocked that there was even Spanish homework, which was unimaginable during my undergraduate course. This is 20 15.

However, the teacher of this graduate student is still very responsible and very good, especially the dean and TFM tutor. They once said that Malagabopo could be recommended, but the answer was really not for reading, so they politely declined.

Therefore, after reading the experience of answering questions, you can also say that I am a "survivor bias". It is true that I have not encountered so much suffering in this decade, but other questions and answers are really objective.

Then this risk needs to be weighed by the subject himself.

But in any case, it is very important that since you choose to go abroad, you should learn the language well, and at the same time, you should be self-disciplined and restrain your desires.

"It's hard to strike while the iron is hot." Only by doing our own construction can we find our place in the colorful world of Spain.
