申请美国留学的利弊,你还适合赴美留学吗？

第一篇：申请美国留学的利弊,你还适合赴美留学吗？

美国是世界教育强国，教育资源之丰厚，位居世界先列。正因如此，赴美国留学便成了很多同学梦寐以求的事情，而且美国名校众多，大学林立，成就了很多人。那么赴美留学是有百利而无一害的事吗？并不是这样的，去美国留学并不全是优势，也有很多劣势。

下面就具体为大家介绍一下美国留学到底有哪些优势和劣势，以便大家参考借鉴，权衡利弊。

优势：

美国教育资源非常丰富，4000多所高校。有所公立大学、私立大学、文理学院、社区学院，只要你下定决心来美国留学，那么肯定能被一所学校录取的。

公立大学：

综合实力最强的公立教育系统当属加州大学，各类排行榜中的公立前十名常能被其下属的分校们霸占一半左右，而加州大学伯克利分校更是数十年如一日地占据世界公立第一的位置。

公立大学密歇根大学和弗吉尼亚大学也同样在教育界有着很强的影响力，同时与加州大学伯克利分校一起成为美国人口中的公立三强。

私立大学：

美国大学排名中，众多院校都是私立大学。耳熟能详的哈佛、耶鲁、普林斯顿等等。它们都设立了以需求为依据的奖学金(need-based aid)，奖助比例基本上能够涵盖留学费用的一半以上。

文理学院：

是美国高校的重要种类之一，注重全面综合教育，强调发掘学生的思维潜能，实现真正意义上的全人发展。许多文理学院的学术声誉往往不亚于哈佛耶鲁等综合性大学。

有小常春藤之称的美国东北部14个顶尖文理学院：

威廉姆斯学院(Williams College)

阿莫赫斯特学院(Amherst College)

卫斯理安大学(Wesleyan University)

斯莫斯沃尔学院(Swarthmore College)

哈弗福德学院(Haverford College)

明德学院(Middlebury College)

瓦萨学院(Vassar College)

汉密尔顿学院(Hamilton College)

科尔盖特大学(Colgate College)

科尔比学院(Colby College)

贝茨学院(Bates College)

鲍登学院(Bowdoin College)

三一学院(Trinity College)

康涅狄格学院(Connecticut College)

社区大学：

美国教育体系的重要组成部分，提供两年制的初级高等教育。社区大学的学生平均年龄是29岁，40%的学生21岁以下，六十岁以上的老人大学生也十分常见。其中60%的学生是边工作边读书。

劣势：

去美国学习还有一个比较明显的就是成本，相较其他国家会高一点。在美国读硕士，两年大概40万元。但是，美国很多优秀的私立学校会提高较高额的奖学金，以此来吸引全世界的人才前来求学。

在这个追求平等自由的国家，犯罪率也不低，大多数平民百姓都很容易获得枪支。这种情况下，社会治安和平民人身安全自然就受到了威胁。美国的治安是要去留学会犹豫的一个方面，但是只要不犯法，不去得罪人，做自己该做的事情，好好学习，谨慎交友，这也就不成问题了。

第二篇：美国留学费用高吗

Http://tiandaoedu.com

美国留学费用高吗美国留学费用的问题一直是大家所关注的内容，能否承担的起关系到留学的成败。那么美国留学费用高吗对于这个问题相信很多人都是非常关心的，下面我们就来围绕美国留学费用高吗做一些介绍吧。

一位刚从美国探亲回来的乔女士在接受采访时说：“我的儿子在美国留学很长时间了，念大三的时候就去了美国的这所学校，现在毕业了想要在那里工作。”美元比人民币“贵”这是事实，无可否认。按照1比6.4的比例，很显然在美国每花1美元相当于国内的6.4元。那么在美国吃一顿饭如果需要花20美元的话，就相当于花了130元人民币。所以，许多人在听到这个数字的时候不禁会感叹“美国的生活成本太高了”。

乔女士说：“我一开始觉得去美国留学费用生活费用太高，可是去了美国才发现，国内的人们通常忽略了一个问题：那就是在美国花美元，在中国花人民币。对于在美国生活的人来说，一顿饭花20美元就相当于在国内吃一顿饭需要花20元人民币，因为人家挣的就是美元。”

以我个人的亲身感受而言，我觉得其实美国留学费用的生活成本很多时候比国内要低。就目前的中国而言，大家在国内的生活成本其实并不低，总觉得东西太贵，工资太少，钱不够花。比如一个月我拿出3000元钱，在保证饭菜质量的前提下，吃饭一个月下来差不多就要1000元左右。如果我的房子有贷款，还要交水电暖等费用，这一个月下来3000元钱确实所剩无几。

那么我在美国留学费用花费美元时发现，如果手里有3000美元，一顿肯德基或麦当劳这样的快餐食品，在国内一个人要花上20元左右(3000元人民币中的20元)，在美国一个人大概5美元(3000美元中的5美元)。而且这种快餐食品在美国是最劣等的食物，基本上10美元到15美元就能在美国吃到一份相当不错的午餐了。

在美国，1000美元一个月的出租房到处都是，而且还有很多用不了这么多。而且美国的房屋硬件上要比国内强很多，主要是环境很好。再比如购物和消费，美国显然比国内要便宜得多。一件CK的衬衣只要40美元，国内要600元人民币，最近流行的苹果手机更是比国内便宜许多。”

即便是这样，仍有很多学生家长会觉得每月3000美元的开销对他们来说也是不小的数目。确实3000美元的生活费换算成人民币的话得将近19000元左右，对于留学生来说，在当地用当地的钱消费起来确实比国内划算，但对国内的普通家庭而言，这确实不是一个小数目。

通过上面文章的介绍大家现在对美国留学费用高吗这个问题应该有了清楚的了解了，如果大家有出国留学的计划，那么需要提前准备好相关留学费用。

第三篇：美国留学申请趋势

据了解，近两年美国大学会通过更加多样的手段来评判学生是否足够优秀，如文书题目日益丰富，更多学校增加或者更加注重面试，今年还有不少学校把面试加入到网申环节当中。下面360教育集团专家针对今年的申请形势和变化，对即将来到的2015年的申请趋势做一些点评和解读。

【趋势一：美国大学审核流程简化标准更严】

现在美国研究生申请竞争已趋向于白热化。在申请者满足硬性要求的同时，美国大学招生官越来越注重申请人背景的多样化，学生的适应能力、领导力、协同能力，以及对美国文化的认同和对学院及社会的回馈，日益成为美国大学关注的重点。同时，现在美国高校对研究生申请者的工作经历，实习、实践经历也越来越看重。

值得关注的是，近几年美国大学审核中国学生的材料流程变得简化，但审核标准更加严格。据了解，在过去的申请中，学生要将自己在大学的成绩单寄送到申请学校，但是现在很多学校只需将成绩单原件扫描上传，只有被录取之后，才会被要求寄送原件。同时，不少美国高校要求国际学生(部分学校只要求来自中国的申请者)，将成绩单通过WES或ECE等评估机构评估后再送到学校。留学专家解释，通过评估机构评估，可查询学生成绩单的真伪。现在要求评估的专业主要是商科和文科，这种要求会越来越多。

【趋势二：美国留学文书考核更个性化】

此外，近两年美国大学会通过更丰富多样的手段来对学生进行考核，主要表现为文书题目的丰富和面试学校的增加。据留学专家介绍，前几年大多数学校要求学生提供的文书都是简历、个人陈述和老师的推荐信。而近几年，商科和一些文科的文书题目变得更丰富，各种新鲜的申请短文题目层出不穷。有的项目(如麻省理工的金融学硕士)为了防止学生总结前人的文书经验，每年都会换短文题目。例如，很多学校都会问申请者职业规划的问题。今年有的学校就问到，考虑到当前经济环境和就业形势，你的职业规划实现不了怎么办？因此，我们可以看出学校的考核更加个性化。此外，现在大部分学校都有防抄袭系统，只要学生的文书有明显抄袭痕迹，都会被软件检测出来。

【趋势三：部分学校将面试嵌入网申环节】

而从面试方面来看，过去只有少数学校的少数专业，比如MBA、金融、会计进行面试。但近两年越来越多的学校和专业要求面试，尤其一些文科、理工科专业增加了面试，而且排名靠前的学校对面试更加重视。以哥伦比亚大学为例，从金融工程到运筹学，从东亚研究到社会工作，从机械工程到电子工程全都需要面试才能拿到录取。值得一提的是，今年有不少学校把面试嵌入了网申环节，即Video Question，也可以称为预面试。这种面试很像托福考试，学生只有填写到网申面试那一步的时候才能弹出面试题。系统会先让你测试摄像头和麦克风，随后出现面试题，通常学生有15秒阅读题的时间，之后就会开始录像，学生一般需要在1分钟内回答完面试题，并上传到网申系统。留学专家表示，这种面试随机性很大，很难准备。

此外，目前美国高校研究生申请常见的面试手段还有电话面试，Skype视频面试、校友面试、学校安排老师来中国面试等。近年还出现了第三方面试，这种形式多是视频形式，即申请者登录第三方网站录制面试视频。其实，不同面试测试内容不同，据留学专家介绍，一般来说，商科面试以专业知识为主，理工科面试会考技术内容，有的会做题，文科类专业很多是英语水平的面试。

最后，美国研究生申请不能临时抱佛脚，需要一个长期的积累和准备过程。尤其在新申请形势下，学生不只要考高分，还要丰富经历和知识面。留学专家建议，面对美国研究生申请的这种竞争态势，申请者应尽早进行出国留学规划，从大二开始就可准备标准化考试，包括托福、GMAT、GRE。对于申请名校，可考GRE Sub，以弥补相关科目的不足，也可增加申请竞争力。

下面小编给大家提供几篇美国留学申请书范文给大家做参考：

篇一：

To live a meaningful life everyday;to continually pursue my predetermined worthwhile goals.-My view of life.Could I put myself in the life-threatening working environment? Could I sacrifice my life for the benefits of others? Some people may laugh at my crazy question.To me, that is a serious question I have come a long way to find my answer.“I am not sure whether it is worth to answer”;“What is the true meaning of that question?”

When I was a young child, I watched a soap opera that was about court.I was deeply impressed by the judge’s calmness and the lawyer’s eloquence and resource that were showed in this opera.From then on, I hoped to study law some day.Fortunately, I performed well in entrance examination and got enrolled into xx University.Then I chose law as my major without hesitation.At university, I studied hard and got GPA 3.4.What’s more, I broadly read all kinds of books, including philosophy, history etc.My teachers’ instruction strengthened my understanding of law and makes me understand the significance of law to a country.From my studies, I had a lot of fun and got more interested in law.Moreover, I actively participated in practice in holidays from common company to law firm and tried to apply the theory I had learned into practice.This summer, I had my internship in counselor department in xxx Group Co Ltd which was involved in a business contract dispute, which was submitted to China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission for arbitration.As a representative of the requested applicant, I took part in the evidence collection in the early arbitration stage and clearly explained why the 5% balance of goods was not paid on time.After knowing the whole case, I visited my teacher, an Arbitration Law professor, and listened to her opinions.Realizing the counterpart didn’t completely implement their contract duty, I gave reasons as follows: First, the counterpart company didn’t mention bearing issue, which caused that the delivered machines couldn’t be put into the plant because of the disqualification of workshop.Thus overhaul was necessary, which delayed production and resulted loss.Based on these reasons, the counterpart didn’t completely carry out its duty, so our party did not pay the balance on time.During this time, I found out the evidence and pictures that attested counterpart did not give reasonable suggestion and service, and made a statement in the court.Finally, the arbitration turned out that counterpart compensated our loss, in which the arbiters invoked the reasons that I stated.They had a panel made up of 3 lawyers and 5 company representatives as agents while we just had 3 persons—two lawyers and me.Under such condition, I was able to cooperate with them and clearly stated my opinions without any nervousness, which got their respect.This matter greatly inspired my enthusiasm on study.In addition, I took part in the contact draft in several companies.In the process, when I met a lot of problems, I often turned to my teachers for help, which made good impression on them.As I cherished each practice, I studied my specialty and English hard.With effective study method and diligence, I did well both in English and law, which helped me a lot to get scholarship every year.On the other hand, my practice inspired me to study.In practice, I exercised my legal knowledge.I also realize the big gap between theory and its application—sometimes I have master the rules but I didn’t know how to use it in actual case.My practice experiences have not only strengthened what I learned but have supplied new knowledge for me, which is good for my future study and career.In my study and practice, I admired outstanding lawyers’ eloquence and jumping thinking more and more.However, in China, most of lawyers come from theory study and those who can perform well in practice are insufficient.Moreover, after the China’s entrance to WTO, there are a lot of problems with Chinese law.I think, my internship experience is not enough.In practice, I could combine substantive law with procedural law to analyze case, but I still feel my theoretical foundation is not solid enough.What’s more, comparably speaking, the chances that I have to initiatively study and practice are not a lot.Thereby, I am eager to study further abroad to know more about foreign law, thoughts and lawyer career so that I am able to stand out in fierce competition.篇二：

Due to the comprehensiveness of China’s “reform and open” policies，economics plays an increasingly important role in the development of its global position.Though more and more companies built，management of companies cannot catch up with the development of the companies.Management is a burgeoning field in China，so I hope I can acquire more modern knowledge on management in England.The roots of my strong interest in business can be traced back to my childhood.My father was among the first of China’s new breed of modern entrepreneurs.As a young girl，it was inspirational hearing about his business ventures，and meeting the varied and interesting circle of entrepreneurs.My mother was also involved in business as an accountant，helping him with simple calculations.And so it was early in my life that I hoped I，also，would someday be able to enter the realm of business.With the time of growing up，I preferred reading books to satisfy my curiosity.I never ceased to contemplate over the questions I encountered.Subjects on business and management became a special fascination to me and my knowledge of psychology as well as interest in this field was increasing rapidly.As a high school student in China，I had to concentrate on the College Entrance Examination(CEE)，even so，books not related to the exams were never excluded from my life.Unfortunately when sitting in the exam in June，2001，I was so nervous that I didn’t score well in the CEE exam.I enrolled in the department of Computer Science in Zhejiang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine.Any attempt to persuade myself to focus on my major turned out to be a failure at the beginning of my college life.After several terms，I realized that I would never be interested in being a programmer or an engineer.At that moment，I lost my direction and objectives.My persistence in reading saved me from the dark situation.As a matter of fact，I enjoyed reading the books included Encyclopedia American，and some books about management by Peter F.Drucker.I began to notice something interesting： Why some companies can produce more than others? Why some company can sell more than others? Why some companies can build up but others cannot when facing the same difficulties?

With the questions in my mind，I started to read many relevant books.I was lucky to read the book “Jack： Straight from the Gut”by Jack Welch，in Which John A.Byrne makes a clear illustration that the management is important for a company.When I was a junior，I ran a bookshop by myself near my school.I should manage not only the finance in the shop but also the employees in my shop even made some strategies to enlarge the business in my shop to hold on the run the shop.From this，my interpersonal skills and the capacity in business has been greatly developed，definitely I was increasingly interested in what I was doing.By December，2003，I had finally determined to take business management as my career instead of IT.To accumulate more relevant knowledge，I strived to gain more practical work experience in some big companies.Fortunately，as a senior，I began by conducting an internship in the Architecture Company in Zhejiang Province.Over six months，I worked as an assistant of the manager to harmonize the relationship between the different departments in this company and to draft some management system，which broadened my perspective of management conditions and business performance in different industries.The experience showed me that management is much more important than that of I thought in big companies.After graduation，I continued my work in this company.In May，2005，the company offered me an opportunity to participate in an training program held by a famous management school.Through in-depth discussions with teachers and students in the classes，they all encouraged me to pursue my future career in management field because of my intellectual ability and the brand new ideas I mentioned.During the short period of training，I realized that pursuing a higher degree in management is a wise choice for me now.Lancaster，with its excellence in management，represents the perfect fit for my needs.In your challenging environment，I can build the required foundation of knowledge related to management to achieve my goals.I am firmly convinced that your admission will be my first step of success.With this in mind，I hereby submit my application，and await your favorable reply.上述内容就是今天为大家带来的关于去美国留学生活前大家准备的申请材料中的申请书范文，希望看过之后对大家有所帮助。
