Nowadays, going study abroad is very popular. Many people want to the United States of America, because other people will envy them and they can get a certificate from abroad, which separate them from the students in domesticate.
But there are some disadvantage of going abroad. People should study for SAT, which is very difficult for the foreign students. People should study English very hard, and it is very demanding. Also going study abroad is very expensive, especially for the schools of top ten, although the schools abroad may have good conditions for study.
If i have chances, i will choose to study in domesticate. Because many of my friends will remain in domesticate, and it is easily to keep in touch with them. Also it is easier for me to get a good score in the entrance exam to the university.
國內和國外對大學教育功能的定位不壹樣。就如其名字Liberal arts education所表達的壹樣，美國大學本科教育是壹個自由人最基本的教育，它幫助壹個體成長為壹個具有理性思辨能力和批判精神的健全人。而中國的大學教育，由於歷史和經濟發展水平等諸多原因，還被定位成培養某方面專業人才的專才教育。
兩者最大的區別在於，前者之目標是為了培養健全的個體，使其成為壹個稱職的文明社會公民;而後者之目標在於培養工具式的人才。由於兩者在目標上存在著本質的區別，因此中美大學教育在其他諸多方面也存在著根本性的差別。他們又可以集中地體現在專業選擇和課程設置上。
中國的大學生在入學前，就已經確定了某壹專業。並且，從進入大學的第壹學期，就開始學習專業課程。並且，中國的大學課程中，專業課程(包括核心課程和相關課程)至少占到總課程數的60%以上。而美國大學生在進入大學時並無專業之分，而是按照壹定的要求學習壹些公***科目。
