Many people think that Lanzhou University is an excellent 985 university, located in the west, which can be said to have brought high-quality educational resources to the local area. However, some people think that the development trend of Lanzhou University in recent years is not as good as that of previous years, and it seems to be going downhill. So what causes the development of Lanzhou University to lag behind more and more?

The academic advantage of Lanzhou University is not obvious. In fact, the history of Lanzhou University is quite long. Lanzhou University was formerly known as 1909 Gansu University of Political Science and Law, and later expanded to Lanzhou Sun Yat-sen University. Later, it gradually developed into Lanzhou University, so it has a long history, and the development of Lanzhou University has also received attention. Never experienced the division of universities, it was identified as one of the first national 13 comprehensive universities. However, the dominant disciplines of Lanzhou University have always been chemistry, physics, nuclear technology, cell biology, solid mechanics and plant physiology. Although these dominant disciplines were ok at that time and have not changed much all the time, they obviously have not adapted to the development of modern society and are not attractive to students. Other schools have also begun to develop computer-related disciplines, but Lanzhou University, as a university of science and engineering, has always maintained a traditional trend, which will naturally lack the attraction to students and easily lead to the loss of teachers.

Lanzhou University's funds and geographical location Lanzhou University is a university in the midwest, and its geographical location is certainly not as attractive as that of schools in the south. Lanzhou University's annual funding is not much, billions a year, but the funding of Lanzhou University is not very good in the arrangement of colleges and universities across the country. In addition, Lanzhou University did not put the limited funds in the most important place for development, so its natural disadvantages became more and more obvious, and its reputation was even worse than that of some universities with 2 1 1.

To sum up the decline and development lag of Lanzhou University, there are some geographical factors, but more is that they have not made a good development plan, which eventually leads to the lack of attraction of discipline setting, thus failing to form core competitiveness.
