Some notes when choosing a US school to study
Not only a financial, economic, scientific, civilized, architectural, or majestic natural landscape power, the United States is also one of the destinations that attracts many Vietnamese students. The quality of education in the United States is uniform in all fields and levels with diverse majors from advanced programs such as nuclear physics, space science, earth science ... to highly creative courses such as art, fashion, film directing ...
Of the more than 4,000 universities and colleges in the United States, the following are the measures to help students navigate clearly and accurately in choosing the most suitable destination.
Scholarship and work policies during study
In 2016, the total number of Vietnamese students attending colleges and universities in the US increased by more than 14% compared to 2015. This number has made Vietnam the sixth country in the number of students enrolled in the US. The country has always expanded scholarship policies as well as tuition support for students with good academic achievements and qualities.
The policy allows students to work 20 hours per week during the course, 40 hours per week during vacations and the policy of granting a visa to work for up to 3 years in the field of study ... help the demand for study in the US of students is always increasing every year.
Diverse learning and cultural environment
How to choose the best school will not be based on rankings but rather on how well it fits the student's personality. American education is tightly controlled so there is an evenness and schools in the Top 200 or 300 in the US already have a high quality education.
In the United States, students can choose schools that are ranked, crowded, and highly competitive. But there are also students who choose schools with small spaces - where the attention from teachers and the relationships between classmates are close, warm.
Therefore, students should ask themselves what they like instead of running after a high - ranking, well - known school that is stressful and stressful, while you are not the type of person who works well under pressure.
Receiving Rate
The percentage of applicants accepted is also a factor to consider when choosing a school. Highly selective schools have a high number of applicants, but few are accepted. While many good schools still have a much wider range of applications, greatly reducing the pressure on applicants. Therefore, students need to accurately assess their academic ability to choose the right school.
School Rankings
The rankings of universities in the United States have a certain effect on four years of study and also affect the assessment of employers after students graduate. Many high-quality schools do not show off their achievements to increase rankings, but in fact graduates have good jobs. Therefore, the ranking of the school should also be one of the criteria that students should consider, not all.
The quality of the faculty, the major you want to study
Students should aim to choose a school whose strengths are in their preferred major. To do this well, students can refer to the rankings of schools by major or seek the clearest, quickest advice from a field expert such as IvyPrep.
Funding and level of financial support
The choice of school should also be associated with the actual ability to pay of the family and cover all expenses that may arise such as: whether the school has a dormitory or not, how the neighboring room area ... However, students should not rush towards low-cost schools that need to calculate, balance with the level of financial support or scholarship opportunities of that school. Because, many schools have high tuition rates but it is where you have the opportunity to win high scholarships, able to pay all costs.
Geographical location
Geographical location is important because it affects the learning environment, climate conditions, cultural diversity and spending. Students should consider this carefully before making a decision. Theo vnexpress.net
