The so-called study abroad circle is too general. There are too many small circles under a big circle. Everyone is an independent individual, and everyone has his own circle. It's just a coincidence that everyone comes to Britain to study. Different regions are the same, so the concept of study abroad circle has no practical significance.

So I can only roughly classify the people who study in the UK around me, and don't sit in the right place! ~

1. Social flower.

As for these people, their family background is generally good, they don't go abroad for further study, or they just want to go abroad to study for a diploma. By the way, let them play for a few more years, mix a circle of international students and expand their contacts in case they need it when they return to China to inherit property in the future.

Here is a small example of my former classmate.

Girl A, whose coordinates are London, her uncle runs a five-star hotel and also develops some real estate. Her father is a shareholder, and his family conditions are ok, but he is not particularly rich. However, she has a high face value and is very sociable. In her social circle, she is the center of the crowd, and a large group of people surround her. Later, I made a boyfriend who was also an international student in London and bought her a pink Ferrari. The sisters later smashed the front of the car. Later, when she returned to China, she was also looking for friends in the study abroad circle to play around. Her present state can be partly referred to Qu Xiaoyu in Ode to Joy.

2. "Royal" reserves with mines at home.

They may not be outstanding in the crowd, nor are they masters of learning. Usually at school, the result is paddling. I am not particularly keen on communication, but my life quality is first-class, and I never treat myself badly. Although I live a good life, I don't like to show off in my circle of friends. Going abroad is to experience life abroad and give yourself a gold medal by the way. Yes, they really have a throne to inherit at home.

Take my male friend H as an example. He looks ordinary and usually keeps a low profile. He doesn't like to socialize everywhere. His ordinary life is also very simple. He goes to class from nine to five every day, goes home to do his homework at night, and strolls around the city with his friends on weekends. But in fact, his fortune is over 100 million and he has his own flat bed in London. When buying shoes, yeezy buys all colors because they are easy to wear. When buy buy bought it, he almost never looked at the price. He is also a very friendly person. He never looks down on others, but he is very charitable. Perhaps this is the so-called rich family education. Usually I just chat with my friends and play cards. I've never been very erosive. When you have a holiday, go around the world and have some fun. Don't be too comfortable and keep the royal family properly.

3. The spirit of westerners with yellow skin and white heart.

Although I am from China, I am actually more used to expressing myself in English. They have been influenced by western culture and education since childhood, and their values and thinking patterns are more westernized. Although they have a Chinese face, their central idea has been completely westernized.

I once had a girlfriend, E, who went to study in England when she was in primary school. Later, she walked all the way through junior high school and high school, and was successfully admitted to Imperial College to study chemistry. Perhaps it is because she studied abroad since she was a child, and her friends and classmates came from all over the world. The culture and education she received also came from the western education model. So her usual behavior and way of thinking, in my opinion, is closer to an Englishman than an China. Also known as "white washing"

For example, compared with China's modesty and politeness, she speaks more directly and critically. If she thinks there is something wrong with what the teacher said in class, she will directly raise her hand to refute it. Compared with the phenomenon that other international students get together to keep warm, she is more accustomed to establishing her own independent circle, which respects the culture of China and is very familiar with the culture of Britain, so she is very popular among international students and British natives. In addition, her parents bought a studio through Lansha to live in London in full, but she took the initiative to write an iou to her parents (although her parents wouldn't let her), and also detailed the "debt repayment plan" after graduation, saying that she was an adult and needed to borrow money from her parents for the house. Also very opinionated! I don't comment on western culture and eastern culture here, but in her, the two cultures present a wonderful fusion.

4. top student with all-round development in morality, intelligence and physique.

I admire these people, not because of their family environment or other external factors, but because of their unique personality charm. They are always trying what they like to make their lives full of meaning. The more open and free environment and social atmosphere abroad make them dare to try to be different.

I have to mention Z, a male classmate whom I admire very much. Judging from his appearance alone, Z is a very ordinary boy. He shaved a simple inch and didn't pay attention to his clothes. Compared with those well-dressed students who go to bars, nightclubs and luxury shopping malls, he is quite inconspicuous. But as long as you get to know him better, you will find that he is a person with strong personality charm.

He showed me what international students in China are like, not glamorous facades. For a while, I found that he often went to the nursery founded by Thomas Cramer in London as a volunteer. At Christmas, he decorated the Christmas tree with the children and opened presents with them. Later, in cooperation with the welfare home, we initiated fund-raising in the school. One hundred sets of winter clothes were collected for these children. On his social media, children's smiling faces are everywhere. Patience, responsibility and affection are what we should have. During school holidays, he will go hiking around, go to neighboring countries, be a backpacker, and challenge to change from an Asian to an African in a week.

A hot person shines everywhere, and his efforts in learning are beyond the reach of ordinary people. He gets up at six o'clock every day, and then is an efficient study day. I often ask him, aren't you tired of studying so hard? Why don't you have a rest and sleep in? He said: Why do you want to sleep before you die? You will fall asleep after death. His tutor appreciates him very much and often takes him to do projects and research topics together. In a word, he is really an outstanding person.

Liang Wendao once said: Reading till the end is to make us more tolerant and understand how complicated the world is. No matter what kind of circle the British study abroad circle is, everyone has their own life. It is important that you have an independent spirit and a strong character. No matter what circle, it's great to be yourself!

Why do so many people want to study abroad now?

The benefits of studying in the UK should be as follows:

There are many well-known colleges and universities in the top ranking.

Among the top 100 universities in the world, Britain accounts for about one fifth, and *** 18 universities are shortlisted. For students with excellent grades, there are more choices for studying in Britain by prestigious schools, and the comprehensive arrangement of schools is also higher. The advantages of returning to China for employment are also more obvious, and the gold content of foreign-funded enterprises is also higher.

Short academic system and relatively low cost.

Most teaching-oriented masters in Britain have a one-year academic system. In terms of expenses, the annual expenses in Britain include tuition and living expenses, and the tuition is generally 65,438+05,000-20,000 pounds for business.

High quality education

Education in Britain allows students to integrate theory with practice, not just theoretical education. Moreover, the professors are very powerful and humorous, and they have foreign students as friends. Have a group discussion or class demonstration together.

Many recognized academic qualifications

The Ministry of Education in China recognizes the education of returnees. Looking at the foreign-related supervision information website of the Ministry of Education, the top 50 schools in the UK are basically eye-catching.

Cultural life is more abundant.

Britain, which is more open in cultural diversity, has a greater tendency to be a country, with good public security, more white people and better cultural experience.

I didn't know until I came to Britain that there was a huge gap between the university atmosphere in Britain and ours. In our place, the best welfare of the school is almost always for international students. In Britain, the tuition fees for overseas students are sky-high every year. The fees for some subjects are relatively low for local students, but extremely high for overseas students. At the same time, don't think that the school will provide some extra benefits to international students.

In our country, universities should not be too good for the welfare of foreign students: refrigerators, washing machines, special stoves ... I heard that some universities also hold social activities for Chinese and foreign boys and girls from time to time. Simply talk about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Clothes: Generally speaking, most local or non-China students wear simple clothes, but our region, especially our international students, has benefited from the rapid economic development in recent years, and there are many famous brands.

For example, girls come standard with 2.5-inch sachets and UGG snow boots, while boys prefer to wear hot OffWhite and supreme. Food: There are generally only small fast food restaurants on British campuses, and there are only a few kinds of food provided all year round. Not fish, not French fries, not fried chicken pieces, but also various salads and cold sandwiches. There are not a few students who are not used to eating. In addition to heating meals in the school microwave oven, I will also go to the surrounding restaurants to solve it.

Accommodation: Generally, students choose to rent a house off campus. If they want to live on campus, it depends on their personality. Some universities provide dormitory for students on campus, which is envied by many people. Of course, the biggest advantage is that it is close enough to the campus. The closer the rental house is to the school, the higher the price and the more people rent it. It is hard to find a room in a school dormitory. Applicants not only have to be on the waiting list, but often they may not get the steering wheel when they graduate. At the same time, it depends on everyone's specific situation, such as the reputation of social evaluation, and the rent of dormitory is not cheap.

Ok: There are many driving lessons. Generally, there are many parking spaces for tourists on campus, which are free of charge. Of course, some people come to class by various means of transportation. In recent years, compared with rich students, there are more luxury cars on campus. Finally, talk about core teaching. The biggest problem of our students is that they like to hold groups to keep warm. Because of cultural differences, they are always used to interacting with local students. In fact, when they go abroad, they should try their best to integrate and accept the local culture. Otherwise, what is the point of studying abroad?

In the past 40 years, Britain's national strength has declined rapidly. The simplest reference index is the pound. Compared with the era of 1970s, the pound depreciated by 50%, which is equivalent to the devaluation of all assets denominated in pound by half. Coupled with Britain's recent withdrawal from the European Union, the economic downturn has been even faster. It can be said that Britain has entered an era without a sense of national direction, and boldly predicts that it may continue to decline in the next 40 years.

1) In the field of science and technology, Britain has fallen far behind the United States and China. The development of Internet, information industry and transportation industry is very slow. Scotland doesn't even have a decent expressway, and the locals call it protecting the environment.

2) Modern industry, Britain no longer has a complete automobile industry. Even the mini Cooper has been sold to BMW for a long time, and it is also euphemistically called getting rid of low-profit industries. The development of modern semiconductor industry is also lagging behind, not comparable to the United States and Japan, not comparable to China, which is about to catch up. It can be said that there is no complete modern industry in Britain. If you study in the UK, it is difficult for science and engineering students to find jobs in the UK after graduation.

3) The strongest field in Britain is finance. If you study abroad and major in finance, you can still consider it. Britain's securities trading, auction industry, bulk product trading and so on are still the largest centers outside new york.

4) If you have money at home and don't expect the return after studying in the UK, you can visit the UK. If you really want to study employment in the future, I don't recommend it unless you come to study finance-related majors. America is still the best choice for studying abroad.

Good luck studying abroad!

It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to study in the empire that never fell! But I guess there may be two experiences:

1, I feel that many things don't have to wait in line.

You can see many old buildings and other antiques.

I have been studying in the Business School of Birmingham University and have been in the UK for two years. After graduating from high school, I studied IELTS for half a year and came to England. Culture There are a large number of world-renowned universities in Britain, especially Oxford, Cambridge and other world-class institutions of higher learning, and the level of scientific research and innovation ranks first in the world. In addition, British universities have a rigorous style of study and a stable campus. The phenomenon of buying and selling diplomas in many countries is absolutely eliminated in Britain. Therefore, the British diploma has gained international recognition and respect. When you come here, you are communicating with the smartest brain in the world.

University of Cambridge

Humanization of admission process

Compared with the United States, Canada and Australia, the offer application of British universities is the most humanized. Most schools have no application fee, and applicants can submit materials to multiple schools at the same time. Moreover, many British universities pay more attention to the academic background and comprehensive quality of applicants, and weaken the weight of language scores on applications. As long as the major is excellent, you can get a "conditional notice".

It takes only three years to finish undergraduate studies in the UK and one year to finish graduate studies, so choosing to study in the UK virtually saves money and time. Students can work part-time for 20 hours a week while studying in the UK. In Britain, you can enjoy the national medical insurance system for a small fee. Don't worry about seeing a doctor, even if you wear glasses or go to the dentist, you can get different discounts. Britain has a long history and still exciting culture and art, and its music, drama, movies, literature, fashion, etc. can enable overseas students to fully appreciate and enjoy a completely different cultural atmosphere from China in their spare time.

Personally, I feel that, to be honest, I am not qualified to study abroad.

In fact, my personal idea, knowledge, does not have to go abroad to study.

If you want your own, Tsinghua and Peking University are the best places to study.

Studying abroad, the first existence, unstable factors.

I suggest that it is best to study in my own country.

Actually, studying abroad is not as good as you think.

Studying in Britain is an unattainable problem for many people. On the one hand, you can enjoy the unique educational resources, on the other hand, you can broaden your horizons. This is killing two birds with one stone, but more importantly, your pursuit will be higher and higher, because you are in contact with a different country. If you can have such an opportunity, you must cherish it.

I study in a small town which is 0/0.5 hours' drive from London/Kloc. In fact, I also received offer from famous universities such as London University and Exeter University in Ucas. But I chose here mainly because Britain has a two-year undergraduate degree. In fact, if you look at Figure 9, it is obvious that there are actually many universities in Britain that can offer choices besides big cities. It turns out that I was right. Going to small towns is not only a problem of low cost, but also a problem of low competition. You will get more support at school. With the help of enterprises and international offices, I also successfully started a business in the UK. Similarly, the level of teachers will not be bad (Figure 5: John Baucau, Figure 8: British University Minister, Figure 7: former UN Under-Secretary-General John Holmes, Figure 6: Lieutenant General David Leakey of the EU Military Commission).
