如何选择一所好的美国大学? 感知与现实

  如果您想进入美国的大学学习,以下有几个非常重要的因素是您在选择课程时需要慎重考虑的。我们会在这篇文章中尽量为您解释感知与现实的区别。 排名 当您在美国挑选大学时,大多数学生会最首先考虑到排名。排名是很重要,但是现实是不是每一位学生都会被哈佛大学,普林斯顿大学或者耶鲁大学录取。所以,考虑其他的因素也是很重要的,比如地理位置,专业选择,学校的大小以及是否是适合你的学校。 地点,地点,地点 将美国大学地点和您的预算挂钩是非常重要的。当然,美国沿海的很多城市都很有吸引力,但是现实是像纽约城和旧金山这样流行的城市,他们的生活成本非常高,而且不是所有的国际学生可以承受的。相反,在美国还有很多其他的大学坐落在相对较低生活成本的城市(比如休士顿或者堪萨斯城) 此外,您还需要确定当地的天气以及您所喜欢的活动。如果您喜欢户外活动,那么像科罗拉多这样有着全年阳光,同时拥有从滑雪到山地自行车各种各样户外运动的地点会是一个不错的选择。 专业选择 您务必要确定您所感兴趣的美国大学有您感兴趣的课程。这个看起来很简单,但是您会十分惊讶的发现,每年有很多人在选取学校的时候没有仔细的调查学校设置的专业。 学校大小 在您审视一所大学时,同时也需要考虑到他的学校以及班级的大小。您要确定您会对班级的平均人数满意,因为这将直接会影响您在上课时所受到的关注以及帮助。还有一点,我们希望您可以参看一下您本国学生在该学校的数据统计。如果您是中国人的话,您很可能不希望去一所已经有很多中国留学生的学校。大多数这样的统计都会在学校的官方网站上查询到。 总体来说,当您在选择一所美国大学时,您需要把现实从感知的认识中从分离出来,您才会很好的根据您的条件来选取一所最适合您的大学。祝您好运!
