1, about the city location:
In Mianyang, a second-tier city in western Sichuan, to be honest, it is very restrictive. Although the government said that it cooperated with the Institute of Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences in Mianyang to make full use of the advantages of Mianyang Science and Technology City (who knows that China Science and Technology City is Mianyang), the essence of the two sides has not established a closer relationship. Coupled with the rapid development of Chengdu in recent years, the gap between first-and second-tier cities has gradually widened. A few years ago, West University of Science and Technology was able to compare with Chengdu University of Technology, but now it really can't be compared, and it has been dumped a lot. Secondly, on the issue of employment and career choice, large-scale job fairs are generally held in Chengdu. If you want to get offers from big companies, you have to go back and forth between the two cities non-stop. According to my observation, firstly, many students of West University of Science and Technology will not choose Mianyang for employment, and secondly, the job fair of the school will not attract good companies to join (the school organizes its own job fair every year), so to sum up, Mianyang is not a good place to attract talents.
2, contacts and relationships:
In the past, the old headmaster had a wide network of contacts and developed rapidly with the strong support of the Deputy Prime Minister. With the curtain call of the older generation of academicians, Xiao and Wang have been doing nothing and acting arbitrarily for so many years since they took office. Finally, at the end of the curtain call, it is difficult to win the doctoral program (I don't know what they have done in this decade, whether they have a clear conscience or not, God knows). I can only sigh at the thought that the old headmaster is in charge of everything.
3. Development status:
The so-called expansion of enrollment means adding irrelevant majors every year. The leaders desperately want to rely on comprehensive universities, and it seems that they don't know the professional advantages and disadvantages of West University of Science and Technology at all. The final result is: the organization is complicated and the teaching quality is not good (for example, the Chinese Department was opened a few years ago, and not only that, but also Chinese language and literature and Chinese as a foreign language were opened. The two majors add up to more than 200, which is simply naked commercialization of education. ), except for a few majors (materials and other majors are really first-class in Sichuan), other majors are really bad.
4. Management:
This is a common problem in China University at present. The teachers of the West University of Science and Technology are really good, but the administration of this university is much more serious than that of ordinary universities, probably because it is far from the administrative center of Chengdu and lacks the necessary supervision. A single leader dominates the day.
5, loose style of study:
One of the important reasons is the geographical location, the lack of effective natural competition mechanism (for example, if the school is close to Southwest Jiaotong University, the students' sense of crisis will be much greater), the students' sense of competition is very poor (but the efforts of some students are not excluded), and the overall slow pace and looseness of Sichuanese can be imagined, leading to a vicious circle.
6. About the name of the school:
Frankly speaking, the reason why I finally chose West University of Science and Technology is that it has a domineering school name: Southwest University of Science and Technology. Just think about Huazhong University of Science and Technology, South China University of Technology, Northeastern University, Southwest Jiaotong University and other schools with their own characteristics in southwest, southeast and northwest, such as teachers' colleges and universities. This summary method is often correct, but Xikeda is a special case! Finally, I want to say that it is unwise to choose a university because of its name, and it is self-deception, because the strength of the school is the ultimate determinant. Of course, this has something to do with my college entrance examination scores, but to be honest, sometimes it is: college entrance examination scores are really cheap.
As a double-class university, West University of Science and Technology was almost defeated and completely turned into a third-rate university in Sichuan.
