1, different organizers
State-owned universities: State-owned universities are universities funded by the national government or local governments, which is what we usually call public government-run universities, rather than universities sponsored by private bosses and social enterprises.
Private universities: Literally, private universities are universities sponsored by enterprises, social organizations and individual citizens (private bosses). Without government financial support, the school is responsible for its own profits and losses.
However, some private schools are sponsored by the government and they may become public schools. For example, Zhejiang University City College was built for Zhejiang University and Hangzhou Municipal Government, and now it has become Zhejiang University City College, and some private schools have become public schools.
2. Another difference between state-owned universities and private universities.
I have to admit that under the same conditions, people always think that private universities are not as good as public universities. After all, Tsinghua, Peking University, the National People's Congress and Jiaotong University, which people are familiar with, are all public. Otherwise, there is no difference between private universities and public universities. So many private independent colleges have changed their names before, and they don't look like private universities.
For example, Huazhong University of Science and Technology Wuchang Branch seems to be a private university, but it is actually a private university, but now it is renamed Wuchang Shouyi College. If people don't know the past of the school, at least they won't think it is a private university. (It's just an example. I'm not saying this school is not good. In fact, this school is one of the best private colleges in China, with high scores, and it is basically the second batch of enrollment. )
3. The difference between private universities and public universities Private tuition is expensive.
Just like the private universities mentioned above, without the support of state funds, tuition fees are generally expensive, generally 1-20000. Even if the name is changed, the second batch of enrollment will not reduce tuition fees; In state-owned universities, with the support of national or local financial funds, the annual tuition fee is usually around 5,000 yuan, which is acceptable to most families.
These are the main differences between private universities and public universities. Of course, both private universities and state-owned universities have to study hard on their own. Private universities also have excellent students, and state-owned universities also have students who muddle along. Some are studying in social training institutions, and some are doing well.
