1. University is a buffer exercise period for us to enter the society, and some failures are allowed. If you fail to enter the society again, things will not be so simple. University has given us a relaxing time to seriously think, try and arrange our life.

2. Reward parents. Going to college is a relatively safe psychological reward for parents. Otherwise, they will think that their hard work and efforts have been in vain.

I proved myself to be good in the competition. If you are really great, can this little exam make you? I just haven't done my best yet.

origin

Modern universities directly originated from European medieval universities in 12 and 13 centuries. Ancient Egypt, India and China were the cradles of higher education, and ancient Greece, Rome, Byzantium and Arab countries all established relatively perfect and developed higher education systems. Although many educational historians also call these local institutions of higher learning universities, strictly speaking, they are not real universities.

1088, Italy established the first regular university-Bologna University, which is the most famous research center of Roman law in Europe (also known as "parent university", student university). Subsequently, universities appeared all over Europe. The University of Paris evolved from the school affiliated to Notre Dame de Paris. 1200, the king of France recognized that scholars of Paris University have the legal qualifications of priests and enjoy judicial immunity (Paris University is the second university and a gentlemen's university).

Modern universities around the world, which originated at the beginning of19th century, refer to the rationalistic transformation after the Enlightenment, especially the new universities represented by the University of Berlin founded by Humboldt in Germany. It is generally believed that the establishment of 1809 Berlin University in Germany marks the birth of a university in the modern sense.

The fundamental difference between modern universities and medieval universities lies in the transformation of university functions. Medieval universities were places to impart existing knowledge, excluding research and discovery of knowledge from universities, while modern universities took scientific research as their main function, increased human knowledge and trained scientific workers as their main tasks, and respected "academic freedom" and "unity of teaching and research".

The spirit of Berlin University promoted the development and prosperity of German science, and Germany became the center of world science from the beginning of19th century to the beginning of 20th century. This idea has also had a far-reaching impact on higher education in the world and laid the foundation for the formation of modern universities.
