First, guaranteed schools for Hong Kong and Macao students.
I think it's true, but what does the point have to do with you? If you study hard, you won't actually have much overlap with foreign students. Of course, you will see an extreme tilt in resources, but personally, I can only say that foreign enrollment resources are too good, and internal enrollment is mistreated.
Second, the study style is poor.
Although the management of Jinan University is indeed loose, such as the 24-hour hot water blackout in the south campus and no substantive curfew, I wonder if there is such a thing as an overall learning atmosphere in such a big school. I know seniors whose GPA is above 4.4 all the year round. I also know seniors who play games day and night. I know seniors who worked hard for business practice and finally went to London for politics and economics. I also know seniors who are addicted to the erosion of community life. The style of study depends on how you choose the people around you.
Third, the campus is remote.
First of all, there is no doubt that this headquarters has a unique geographical location and is located in the absolute economic center of Guangzhou. The key point is that I really don't think the south campus is a rural university. Of course, it is visually rural, but it is only one subway stop from the university town. The subway in Guangzhou is really convenient to extend in all directions, and the internship opportunities in the urban area can also be enjoyed. Moreover, a large number of strong undergraduate majors in the School of Economics and the School of Planning of the School of Management are in the South Campus, and Cisco Smart City will be built in the back door in the future. So Shenzhen campus and Zhuhai campus are really "partial", but both campuses are in the local city center. The so-called "bias" is more because the resources caused by being far away from headquarters are slightly insufficient. Whether these two campuses are worth choosing is really a matter of opinion. Others say it's easy to change majors across campuses. Don't comment if you haven't tried it.
Fourth, the science and engineering difference of Jinan University is not worth reporting.
I think this statement is inappropriate. It is true that the scores of liberal arts majors in Jinan University are generally higher than those of science and engineering, but the science and engineering majors in Jinan University may not be worthy of the level of 2 1 1, including Shenda, which is famous for science and engineering. How much can the science and engineering score line run through Jinan University? The development momentum of Shenyang University is really not empty, but fascinating. Anyway, sometimes it looks like a horizontal line with Zhejiang Jiaotong University, and sometimes it looks like a bunch of bubbles. In addition, students who are inspirational in scientific research can also take a look. As for some people who say that Jida was hanged by foreigners, this controversy is quite big. You can see my other related answer. In short, it is meaningless to compare the two schools from their own needs.
5. Jinan University is gradually weakening.
It doesn't exist. No universities in Guangdong are weakening, but it seems to be too big and too fast, but how many universities in the country are going deeper and faster? In 2020, the funding of Jinan University will be 7 1 billion, ranking 2 1, ranking first in the country with 2 1. Soft science rushed to 48, QS rushed to 33, and the Guangdong investment line was far behind Shenzhen University by 8000. Sino-foreign cooperation almost surpassed Shenzhen University. Where can we see the decline?
Sixth, Jinan University's scientific research guarantee rate is low.
It's true. If it is internal enrollment, it should be carefully considered. After all, several business majors in Jinan University are enough to choose many majors in mountains and rivers, and the quality of studying abroad in Jinan University is still very good. Columbia University, New China, UCL Time, Nanyang Technological University, Glasgow, etc. It is not too difficult for students who study hard. It's not difficult to add up.
