A guide to studying in the United States after the college entrance examination (undergraduate course in the United States)

Motivation to study abroad

What made you want to study abroad? Is it the cruelty of college entrance examination or the irrationality of China's education system? Is it yearning for other countries' culture and reverence for western science and technology? Or just want to change the environment to muddle along ... Everyone has different reasons for studying abroad. As for me, I only analyze it from the following aspects.

1. The irrationality of China's education system and the irrationality of the college entrance examination

The college entrance examination in China has been criticized for a long time. Even though there have been countless reforms over the years, and the Ministry of Education has repeatedly declared the fairness of the college entrance examination, the reality is that the enrollment expansion of universities has led to a sharp rise in the rate of talent rejection, and the imbalance of resources has doomed this not to be an absolutely fair contest from the beginning. Although any system has its defects, its advantages are self-evident only by comparing the education system in the United States with that in China. Whether it's the SAT test six times a year (the American College Entrance Examination) or the TOEFL test every week (the language test for foreign students), just so many opportunities are staggering. Moreover, the transfer mechanism between American universities makes it possible for students to enter better institutions and obtain better educational resources through their own efforts.

2. Relatively relaxed educational environment and relatively sufficient educational resources overseas

How developed a country's science and technology is depends entirely on the investment of funds and the cultivation of talents. The development of science and technology is not made by doing problems. Doing problems can only practice the brain, and maybe it will also lead to fear and disgust of subjects and even learning. And these two points are intolerable on the road of seeking knowledge. The right person to do the right thing is an accurate description of the western education system and talent training mechanism. Choose as many subjects as possible so that students can learn subjects that interest them, instead of being forced to accept painful duck-stuffing. If you love something, will you still be absent-minded and idle all day, so that you will waste four years in college?

3 A well-off family doesn't care about the money, so it's comfortable to live in a different environment.

If that's the only reason you decided to study abroad, please don't read on. The advice you want should be about immigration. Studying abroad like this is not good for anyone. Local tyrants stop, if you are the one.

4. Take studying abroad as an investment (investment is risky, so be cautious when entering the market)

As we all know, education is an investment in life. But studying abroad costs a lot of money and effort. If parents look at this problem from the perspective of money investment, then I don't think such a study abroad may be as you wish. If you just calculate how much your children spend on studying abroad, and it will take several years to recover the cost, then the reality may not be as beautiful as you think. First of all, the number of overseas students has soared, which directly led to the depreciation of the economic value of studying abroad. Secondly, it is difficult to stay in the United States, which means that more than 7% of students studying in the United States just regard studying abroad as an experience, whether they return home voluntarily or not, or they really can't find a job. But purely from the perspective of money, I'm afraid it won't take you three or four years to earn back the money from studying abroad in China. But studying abroad as a life experience is undoubtedly valuable. You will meet international students from all over the world and exchange and cooperate with them. You can also understand the western customs and broaden your horizons.
