Third, is it better to study abroad as an undergraduate or as a graduate?
According to industry survey data, 70% of domestic students apply for graduate students and 30% apply for undergraduate courses. It is conceivable that in the eyes of many students and parents, the college entrance examination is the more authoritative way to transition from high school to university.
As for studying abroad, it is often after going to college that the idea is slowly formed. However, many seniors studying abroad have this feeling: the difference between undergraduate study and master's study is too big! If you can study abroad as an undergraduate, you will learn more.
The age of undergraduate study abroad is about 18 and 19, and the age of master study abroad is about 22 or 23, with a difference of only four or five years. But what we need to know is that a person's values and world outlook are gradually formed in the past few years in college, which can be said to be stereotyped and difficult to change in future study or life.
Therefore, the environment is very important. When you are in an excellent environment, your outlook on life and social circle will have a great positive impact on your later life.
Of course, the final study abroad plan should choose the most suitable study abroad path according to the actual situation of the individual.
