British universities with comparable teaching quality to rattan schools generally give people the impression that:
In fact, there is a saying that:
Oxford and Cambridge = Harvard, Yale and Princeton.
LSE, IC, UCL = Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania
KCL, Durham, Saint Ann, Buda, IDA = Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell
Do you agree with this comparison? Free heart, don't like light spray. ...
Judging from the world rankings:
Background supplement: Ivy League is a sports league affiliated to NCAA, an American non-profit organization. It was founded in postwar 1954 and consists of eight universities in New England.
These eight universities include: Harvard University, Yale University, Princeton University, Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania, Brown University, Dartmouth College and Cornell University.
Judging from the two world rankings, rattan school is evenly matched with famous British schools as a whole. Brown University and Dartmouth College may not rank as well as many non-G5 schools in Britain. Judging from the number of universities in the two countries, the proportion of famous schools in Britain is higher.
Does that mean that American universities are not ranked as well as Britain? This is definitely not comprehensive, because in addition to rattan schools, there are other non-rattan schools in the United States, such as MIT, Stanford and California Institute of Technology, which rank very high.
The biggest difference between top universities in Britain and America
In fact, we can only make a rough comparison from the ranking. There are huge differences between British and American universities, even schools with unsatisfactory rankings have their own bright spots, so I want to analyze the biggest difference between top universities in Britain and rattan schools in the United States!
0 1. Admission to the top universities in Britain is completely academic.
First of all, the top universities in Britain are more elite than rattan schools, representing a certain social class, but they have been changing recently. A considerable proportion of rattan students come from donations, which means that the enrollment of rattan schools is not as strict as that of their British counterparts. Because in Britain, there is no record of donation guarantee, and admission is entirely based on grades. Niu Jian can't go in if he has money.
02. A considerable proportion of teaching in famous American universities is completed by teaching assistants.
In some famous universities in the United States, professors mainly research and guide graduate students, and many undergraduate courses are actually held by teaching assistants. Therefore, generally speaking, you will get a stricter education in the top universities in the UK than in the rattan schools, and you will have more opportunities to have direct contact with top professors, especially in the small class of Niu Jian's tutor.
03. The current situation of "second-rate colleges" in Britain
British "second-rate colleges", such as Manda and UCL, are also truly world-class universities, which can provide equally excellent undergraduate education, at least in some majors. UCL ranks first in the world in architecture, education, language and economy, while LSE ranks second only to Harvard in social science. Imperial College is the dream of most science students. Warwick Business School, KCL Medical College, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Manda are all versatile.
04. Top students in America are more widely distributed.
In the United States, top students are widely distributed because of the high tuition fees of private schools and universities. Many American students who can be admitted to the top universities in Britain finally choose not rattan schools, but nearby Ivy League schools, public Ivy League schools, local public comprehensive universities and UCLA. The top students in Britain basically go to those famous British schools.
05. Top universities in Britain recruit more students than Fujitsu.
Most rattan schools only recruit about 2,000 undergraduate students each year, while Oxford and Cambridge recruit more than 3,500 students each year. LSE recruits about 1600 students each year, and IC recruits nearly 3,000 students each year. UCL enrolls about 6,000 undergraduates every year, reaching 8,300 last year. In addition, it is worth noting that the number of applicants in American rattan schools is more, and the admission ratio is lower.
