University of Southern California-"A University Spoiled by China Students"
The University of Southern California is called "University for Poor Children" because its students have always been rich children. However, with the increasing proportion of students in China in recent years, some people have changed their nicknames to China University.
The vice chairman of the Chinese Students and Scholars Association of the university believes that the widely circulated USC nickname actually originated more than ten years ago, but it can't fully reflect the current school atmosphere. He said that the vast majority of China students are diligent and often the last group to study in the library. Professor Qin, Chinese vice president of the School of Engineering, said that not all students who can go to the University of Southern California are rich. Similar to other famous private universities, there are many students from ordinary families with excellent conditions who study with generous scholarships. Moreover, the student structure of USC is highly international, with less than 10% of China students. Both nicknames seem biased.
UCLA-"Greater Asia"
There is a gap in nickname popularity between UCLA and USC, but the two more common versions of nicknames are related to Asians: Caucasian University or University of California Asia Minor lost among Asians. Old Zhu Jiayi, an alumnus of the school and a Chinese city councilman in Rosemary, said that Logar is famous for its high threshold and fierce competition. There are many Asian students on campus, which is inseparable from the tradition that Asian parents attach importance to their children's education. From another point of view, these two nicknames are actually a kind of praise for the excellent academic competitiveness of Asian students, not necessarily from prejudice or discrimination.
University of California, Irvine (UCI)- "China Immigration University"
Many nicknames of UCI are aimed at Chinese, such as Chinese immigrant university under Chinese invasion and Chinese Indian university. Hong Jiayuan, a Chinese engineer in the California Department of Communications who obtained a bachelor's degree in engineering from the school, revealed that nicknames actually evolved. 1990 At the beginning of this year, when he was studying in this school, a teaching building was being built on the campus. At that time, there were not many students in China, so the students nicknamed the school "under construction indefinitely". Now that more than half of the students are Asian, it is no wonder that nicknames have changed accordingly.
University of California at Berkeley (UCB)- "China Bookworm University"
UCB, the leader of the expansion system in northern Canada, also has a nickname of China University, or Compromise Bastard University, which refers to China people.
University of California, San Diego-"China's Second Choice"
One version of the nickname UCSD, decided by The Chinese University, is also related to Chinese. Miss Yu, a China student who graduated from this school last year, said that whether UCSD is Watson's second choice depends on the department. Majors such as electronic engineering, biology and chemistry, which rank high in the United States, are usually the first choice for China students, but in the departments of economics and communication, they are indeed the second choice. Many China students who fail to apply for LA will settle for the second best, because San Diego still ranks first in the overall ranking.
