Chapter 231: Private Universities
After chatting with Xu Hanshan about a meal, Wu Bin found a very serious problem.
That's Gu Ningshan's willingness to beat chicken, he was invited for nothing!
This little girl is estimated to be obsessed with processing data for a summer vacation, and when she returned to China, she remembered her commission, so she casually asked a senior sister about American universities.
But I didn't ask the point at all!
In Gu Ningshan's description, the teacher-student ratio that does not need to rush classes at all, and the local tyrant operation of inviting any teacher to teach you whatever class you want does exist, but it only exists in private universities.
The concept of a private university was actually quite unfamiliar before he heard Xu Hanshan's introduction, or that domestic students should be very unfamiliar with this concept.
However, Harvard, Yale, Lumbia, Princeton, and other eight Ivy League schools are all private universities, without exception!
Then a few people talked about the latest QS university rankings, and found that except for the United States, other countries are the strongest public universities, which means that the United States is the only one that plays like this.
As a top student at Wharton School, Xu Hanshan also explained the difference between public universities and private universities in great detail.
First of all, the first point is that the creators of private universities must be awesome, and the founders of Penn University will not talk about it, and everyone will print it on the 100-dollar knife, so I ask you if you are convinced?
Later, Xu Hanshan also gave Wu Bin an example of Drexel University, which is listed as one of the "three top three universities in Philadelphia" by Philadelphia and Penn, and their business school and public health center have always been in a very high position in the rankings.
The senior of this university is named Anthony. J. Drexel, he himself is a hidden predator Xu Hanshan is not clear, but she knows that this big guy has a particularly awesome godson, Morgan, that is, the name of the world's top bank, Morgan Vat Bank, an absolute big family.
"According to the grapevine, when Wall Street was first founded, it seemed to have more or less the support of this Drexel principal."
Xu Hanshan's whispered words made the goosebumps rise for the other three people at the table, Wall Street! That's the financial center of the world! Big guy big guy.
Secondly, you have to be rich, the kind of rich that you have.
The establishment of universities, the recruitment of teachers, the absorption of excellent students, the acquisition of various copyrights and the purchase of teaching materials, that is all money.
Take Penn, for example, they spend tens of millions of dollars every year on professional search software and e-books to improve their various soft skills.
After doing these two things, you also have to cultivate many top social elites to become your living advertisements.
Because you are a private university, you must rely on yourself to make a profit, and the profit model of a private university is much rougher than Wu Bin imagined, that is, the tuition fee is expensive and expensive.
For example, Harvard's annual tuition fee is about 43,000 US dollars, which is nearly 300,000 yuan when converted into RMB! And this is just the tuition fee, in addition to insurance, activity fees, accommodation fees, etc., it is not cheap, and it adds up to almost another 20,000 US dollars.
This is really a difficult expense for ordinary families, so if there is no scholarship to protect the body, some students will be deterred by the high tuition fees even if they can be admitted to Harvard.
What should I do if I really don't have money and want to go to a private school? Xu Hanshan said that she knew that a professor in their school finally paid off the loan in college at the age of 38, and she ate two more happy burgers.
And this high tuition fee is the reason why private universities must train a large number of top-level social elites to advertise for you, otherwise your employment rate is the same as that of some good public universities, why should others come to you to spend such unjust money?
That's why private universities will come out of the kind of reason that Gu Ningshan said that you want to learn Danish, so the school directly helped him hire a teacher to teach him alone.
Because for private universities, students are customers, and what is a customer? The customer is God!
In addition, in order to attract these "customers", private universities must have better teachers, and better teachers mean high salaries.
The learning environment must also be good, the dormitories are all single rooms, even the toilets are air-conditioned, and the software equipment must be updated in time, such as various genuine programming software, you have to have it.
So under these premises, the faculty of these top private universities is really endless.
What is the former CEO of IBM, a famous local business executive, most of the country's economics textbooks are written by him, and successful people who have been on Fortune Magazin (Fortune magazine).
Of course, Penn also has gods, for example, Xu Hanshan admires a teacher in their college very much, how awesome is this buddy, on average, he succeeds in a company in three years, invests hundreds of thousands, and sells tens of millions of dollars after three years.
And it's 6 in a row! At the same time, people also come to class every day, and it's like a heifer taking a plane.
There is also the kind of class that goes out in the middle of class to answer the phone and come back and say, "Students, bless me, I have won the Nobel Prize, okay, let's go back to class." ”
When Xu Hanshan finished talking about these celebrity anecdotes, she looked at the expressions of the other three people, and found that Bo Jiasheng and Zheng Wenhan were already stunned for a moment, but Wu Bin looked like he was thinking about something.
"What do you think?" Xu Hanshan patted Wu Bin lightly and asked.
Wu Bin was stunned for a moment, then reacted and replied: "I'm thinking...... If this kind of private university is to emerge in China, there must be a huge chaebol willing to invest in the university as a very long-term investment, right? ”
"Hmm~" Xu Hanshan nodded with satisfaction, "The summary is in place, but what about private universities, they are more than 100 years earlier than the founding of the United States, which can be said to be a standard product of the times, which is difficult to imitate, but in fact, I personally think that there is no need to deliberately imitate, after all, there is never more than one road to success." ”
Wu Bin nodded in agreement after hearing this, feeling that the female senior student in front of him seemed to have something to say.
……
The next day, the International Collegiate Physics Competition officially began, the opening ceremony was similar to IPhO, and various oaths had been spoken, but it seemed that because it was the first time to open the invitational competition, several heavyweights in the physics community were also invited, and each of them had read their papers Wu Bin.
What Wu Bin didn't know was that when he was listening carefully to the speeches of several professors, the mentality of an American big brother next to him suddenly collapsed.
After squirting a word starting with F, Aiden turned around and whispered to his Asian teammate, "I thought yesterday's rubbery steak was going to be the worst thing I'd ever have at this game." ”
"Why, do you hate the professors' speeches?" Aiden's Asian teammate Leonard raised his glasses and asked curiously.
Aiden shook his head: "No...... It's because I see a person who is qualified enough to speak on stage right now, but now he's standing in the same line as us. ”
