University of Texas at Austin
University of Texas at Austin is one of the biggest public universities within 50,000 students on about 350 acres and it is obviously located at Austin, Texas. There are 18 colleges in this university. It has a lot of high ranking majors that a large public school should have, especially its business program and engineer program. Accounting and petroleum engineering are both ranked No.1 in U.S.A. By the way, the No.2 petroleum engineering school is Stanford. There is hundreds of study aboard programs for student who interested to experience different cultures and languages. It doesn’t say about minimum requirements for admittance, but students are expected to be at least top half of their classes to get into this school. As for the tuition, it costs about 50,000 dollar a year, which I think it’s really expensive for a public school. There are many scholarships that students could apply, but it hard to get those scholarships. 79% of student graduate within six years, 94% return for sophomore year. The student-faculty ratio is 18:1, which it is pretty good for me.
For sports, its athletics teams have won more than 40 national championships. Athletes from this school won 88 Olympic medals, so it’s a good choice for people like sports. There are 900 clubs, organizations, societies, and groups in this school, so students have a lot options to choose. It also has one of the biggest Greek system in this country (no idea what this system is). And the first year average job salary for student who graduated is $11o, 970 (I don’t believe it). It is worth mentioning that the amount of the financial aid and donations received in UT is second only to Harvard University.
Many students like this school...

...’t have enough college credits. I saw a picture of library of Harvard. It was 4 a.m.; all tables were filled with students. And in order to graduate from Harvard, student must take 32 courses in 4 years. I personally don’t think I can ever handle this kind of pressure from school. In China, most of the parents want their children to go high ranking university, and those students don’t really have the choice for themselves. After all, students go to college for themselves not their parents. For instance, if I want to study petroleum engineering, it won’t make sense that I go to Harvard, because Harvard doesn’t even have this major.
I think Harvard University is a great school for student who interested in social science, medical, business and law etc. It is not necessarily a good choice for those who want to be an engineer, like me.

Authors Michelle Tokarczyk, Peter Sacks, Robert Haverman and Timothy Smeeding all write about certain problems that working class students are facing in education in the U.S. , especially in college education which is usually defined as higher education. Although they focus on different aspects of the problem, they still have some ideas in common. In their articles, all of them discuss how economic and social class occupies a very significant role in the quality of education an American student receives. In order to support their claims, all of them employ studies as their strong evidence. They also imply that college education fails to consider the special issues and conditions that working class students have. In addition, higher education fails to help those students to improve their circumstances and social mobility. Even though all of the problems that working class students face are important, some of them are extremely significant factors to their struggles to obtain a college education, such as the economic and social class of the working class student. The main problems that working class students face in America also occur in the education system in China.
Chua believes that Chinese parents force their children to be academically successful in order to reach “higher” goals in life. She emphasizes this when she states “…Chinese parents have … higher dreams for their children…” (Chua 8). Although Amy set higher s...

The lifestyle the benefits of a small campus and all that Wayne has to offer. The best thing about this college is the small town aspects that it embodies. Students care about each other and the professors want to see us succeed. There is a great number of classes and we offer a variety of majors. Wayne State college offers more than people realize and is a very affordable school.
I think first and the most important challenge bring to mind is the education, which worries all the students in China. In order to enter the college, every student must take the gaokao test. This
Ivy League schools are often seen as the golden ticket to a happy and successful life. However, many who aspire to attend these top prestigious universities are oblivious to the pressing issues that surround them. Rates of suicide, sexual assault, and prescription drug abuse amongst the Ivy Leagues are through the roof, but they won’t tell you that at the Harvard open house.
Every elementary school in my hometown requires a placement exam for freshmen entry. My parent decided to put me to a try at the system by sending me to a tutor. At the time, I believe some people are more superior than others base on family status, especially family with political background. I didn’t really care about the examination, because I felt like the result has already been determined within the school. In China, People with money can bride their way into one of the best school or get a good job within the government. I have the same mindset as my parents, my family background will not get me anywhere near a higher education. Education system in China is always been corrupted, because of that, I walk away from home to play with my neighbors. When my parents notice that, they were so angry that they lock me up for hours in the dark. While in the dark, frighten and scary moment flew by and lead me to try to take the exam instead of walking away like a coward. Because of that, I became more cooperative towards my parents. I tried my best during the placement exam, but it is tough to study full time when I am only seven years old or so. In the end, I got accepted even though I was one point off from the standard score line. Challenging the issue instead of giving up have granted me the opportunity to be one step closer to a higher
UTK is more than just a school. It is a family. Nowhere else in the country will you find such a loyal, passionate fan base that spreads so far beyond campus. .The tradition of an exceptional athletics program will leave any student boasting with pride. Neyland Stadium, it's one of the largest football stadiums in the United States in terms of its capacity. It can hold up to over 100,000 fans! It has a great sports program and Saturday football games have a culture and life of their own. Every student should at least attend one football game in their time attending UTK. The atmosphere there would leave you speechless. It will definitely be one of the memories that you will cherish from your days in college. The last reason is that no matter what background one might have, they will always be a part of the Volunteer family
Conclusively, everything has different sides. Chinese education is not tremendous as people thought. In fact, most of the successful Chinese children are being grateful to their parents for their success. Everything is not definitely wrong or right, it depends on how we define it. Parents sacrifice a much as they can to watch us became successful through the journey. Our gratitude towards the parents are beyond the words. As a result, we should achieve our dreams with the best to fulfill their scarification so that we will not let them down.
The second I stepped onto the campus, I knew that it was where I wanted to be and I felt like I was at home. The atmosphere felt friendly and family-like, the campus and the surrounding area was beautiful, academics are amazing, and the athletics and their facilities are great. The most appealing of these factors to me was the outstanding criminal justice program. This really caught my eye because my long-term goal after college is to work in the criminal justice field as a criminal investigator or a crime scene investigator. Not only does UNF have a great criminal justice program with outstanding professors that were, at one point, in the criminal justice field, but they also have great ties with the FBI and Jacksonville Sheriffs Office,
The first period of Chinese compulsory education (between 1986 and 2007) had a big problem-----it was not free. In 1986, China passed the Law on Compulsory Education of the People 's Republic of China, which symbols that China began to execute compulsory education. However, at the beginning, the compulsory education is “compulsory education with Chinese characteristics”, (Xiao, 2012, 1) which means that the compulsory education is just compulsory and the governments didn’t pay the tuition. It is a big problem. People in rich cities didn’t have too much trouble because they had money. But the tuition was a big burden for families in poor villages or towns. A survey of a village in Hunan in 2001 referred that the government only paid 22.3% of the tuition for children in compulsory education, which means children’ parents needed to pay another 77.7% tuition.
The very first important development for a successful country is to have a respectable education system for those who need it from the first day they are born into the world. We have to instill what we want in our people to reflect how we want our to development to appear. In china their school system has more of a strict structure for example, at Harbin Number One High School; students begin school at 7:00 a.m., and remain until 8:20 p.m. The seniors, preparing for their final examinations, stay later, even until 10:00 at night.(Rybak) In a Chinese school the day are much longer than an American school day. This means that Chinese student spend a lot more time in school which bring us to conclusion that Chinese are more advantaged then the American student in long run. This prepares them for college or even the young adult can be bio-lingual. Most American student usually attends school for seven hours each weekday and may forget what they have learned because it in instilled into the young adults’ heads like the Chinese do with their students.
In today’s society, the fixed model for ordinary Chinese student is working hard on their study since very young to be admitted by better primary school, middle school and high school and then, they would get high marks in Gaokao, which is a kind of exam like ACT, to enter some best universities to get a well-paid job in the future. As the fierce competition in China, parents ask their children to put 100% energy in study and they usually think working part-time would decrease school success because of less study time. Gwen (2012) notes most of Chinese parents are more strict in study than American parents. They push their children to study, practice more and get achievement and give children enough financial support. Furthermore, many Chinese students think doing extra part-time job would make them feel more stressful because most of them are forced to go institutions to have extra classes at the weekend. As a result, many Chinese people do not have positive attitudes toward students working
