The University ofcalifornia, Berkeley, located on the west coast of the United States, is the oldest, most academic, most liberal-minded and most diverse of the 65,438+00 independent universities in California. At the same time, Berkeley is also one of the most famous public research universities in the United States, ranking first among public universities in the United States over the years, and becoming an institution of higher learning comparable to ivy league schools such as Harvard and Yale. As a public university among the world-class research universities, its research funding ranks among the best in the United States. It will be an unforgettable memory to experience its rich academics and multiculturalism in this prestigious school. Berkeley, the famous holy place for studying in Gulf University, is located in Berkeley in northern California, about 30 minutes' drive from the famous San Francisco. Berkeley is a coastal city in the western United States, with mountains in the east and San Francisco Bay in the Atlantic Ocean in the west, opposite to the famous Golden Gate Bridge. The unique geographical location endows Berkeley with almost perfect climate characteristics. It has four seasons like spring, abundant rainfall and good vegetation, and is known as one of the most livable cities in the world. Berkeley and Berkeley are integrated: the school has no walls and buildings are all over the city. Berkeley covers an area of more than 65,438+0,230 acres and is divided into two campuses: North Campus and South Campus. The campus is shaded by trees all year round, the lawn is like a carpet, and flowers are in full bloom. The green canyons, wide sports grounds, rolling lawns and small jungles on campus, together with strawberry bay across the campus, are even more beautiful, making people linger. In the square behind Deviner Humanities Building, deep in the campus, stands a tall tower, which is the landmark building of Berkeley-Sassota. There is also a 48-ring clock at the top of the tower. This big clock rings three times a day and strikes the hour 24 hours a day. The bell is melodious and reverberates throughout the campus for a long time, which makes people feel interesting. At present, there are 35,842 students in Berkeley, including graduate students 103 13. Most of the students in this school come from this state. There are 8 Nobel Prize winners, 4 MacArthur Prize winners/KLOC-0, 3 Pulitzer Prize winners, 49 academicians of the College of Arts and Sciences 169, and many world-renowned scholars and scientists. In history, 65 professors and alumni won the Nobel Prize, 9 alumni won the Turing Prize, and 137 Fulbright Prize winners. Berkeley is famous for its high-quality graduate education. Berkeley has the largest graduate department in the United States, offering nearly 65,438+000 professional degree programs to students. Postgraduate education in Berkeley is mainly embodied in autonomous learning and interaction with professors. At the beginning of the semester, students must understand their weaknesses and lack of knowledge about which subjects, and then choose courses and the number of courses after careful consideration. After the semester begins, students should first show interest in research projects, especially professors' work, then look up professors' work through the Internet, read their publications, and then have a direct dialogue with professors. Of course, the final choice is still on the students. If you are not interested in the professor's research project, students can meet with the director of diversity and the instructor who studies diversity courses, and the teacher will help students re-select research projects. Once a research project is selected, students will work with professors for a long time. In recent years, there have been new changes in graduate education in Berkeley, that is, more and more attention has been paid to interdisciplinary subjects. This change not only helps to expand students' knowledge and research ideas, but also helps to improve students' creativity and innovation ability. In terms of internship, the Graduate Diversity Project Office provides a series of seminars and lectures, including knowledge and professional training, information and strategic planning, and summer vacation research opportunity planning to help students accumulate employment experience. Moreover, because Berkeley is close to Silicon Valley, the school can also provide internship opportunities for students by combining with companies and enterprises in the Science Park. Berkeley's undergraduate education is also unique. The school divides four years into two parts. In the first two years, general education is mainly based on basic courses, and in the second two years, it is divided into professional courses. In addition, Berkeley will combine undergraduate and postgraduate courses into one, so that some undergraduates who are interested in postgraduate courses can attend postgraduate courses. In recent years, Berkeley University has reformed and innovated undergraduate courses, and the most important measures are seminars and dinner plans for teacher-student exchanges. The seminar is mainly aimed at freshmen and sophomores, and provides an unparalleled opportunity for teachers and junior students to discuss academic topics of common concern. By participating in the seminar, students become active members of the Berkeley knowledge group, and teachers are encouraged and motivated by interacting with a group of talented students. At the beginning of each semester, teachers from different departments get together and provide students with a seminar of about 100. The content of the seminar covers a wide range, including the latest trends in various disciplines, research status and topics of interest to students. For example, the monsters in Life's Journey Survey Mirror, Utopia and Hell Movie. The purpose of the "Teacher-student Thought Exchange Dinner Plan" is to enhance the understanding between teachers and students, promote the emotional exchange between teachers and students, and provide opportunities for extracurricular exchanges between teachers and students. Teachers will have lunch or dinner with students and interact with them. Seminars and teacher-student exchange dinner plans have become an important magic weapon to attract high school students to apply for Berkeley. In California, only the best high school graduates in the state can enter the University of California, accounting for 12.5% of all high school graduates, while only 1% can go to Berkeley. I am very lucky to go to Berkeley, because it is the cheapest university in America. The tuition fee for students in this state is only a few thousand dollars, while it costs tens of thousands of dollars to go to famous schools in the east. Students who enter Berkeley study hard, whether they are graduate students or undergraduates, and will be warmly welcomed by the society after graduation.
