First, the best major in American universities
(1) Finance major:
The United States is the financial center of the world, and its financial major is the best in both teaching philosophy and market environment. The school pays attention to cultivating students' comprehensive financial concept and teaches students to study and analyze the operation of capital market and corporate finance. According to tops, the course sets the direction of financial market, investment, financial management and corporate finance. The research focus of different universities will be adapted to local conditions. If the university is close to the financial center, it will emphasize the study of financial market and investment to facilitate students' employment. If there is no financial center where the university is located, it will emphasize finance and financial management so that students can find jobs in the future. In this way, the financial major in the United States is more specific, that is, more microscopic and more practical.
Recommended schools: new york University, Columbia University, Fordham University and University of Chicago.
(2) Computer major:
Computer science major (CS) includes many branches: some emphasize the calculation of specific results, such as computer graphics; Some discuss the essence of computational problems, such as computational complexity theory; There are also some areas that focus on how to realize computing. For example, the theory of programming language is to study the method of describing calculation, while programming is to apply a specific programming language to solve specific calculation problems. Human-computer interaction focuses on how to make computers and calculations useful and easy to use, and be used by people anytime and anywhere. The research field of computer science is wider than that of computer engineering. Including computer graphics, data processing, database construction, information technology, website design, construction and management, game design and computer programming. Computer science belongs to science and tends to be theoretical; Computer engineering belongs to engineering and tends to be applied.
Recommended schools: Carnegie Mellon University, University of California at Berkeley, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, California Institute of Technology, Georgia Institute of Technology, Purdue University.
(3) Electrical Engineering/Electronic Engineering Major:
Usually when we talk about EE, we mean either electrical engineering or electronic engineering.
Electrical engineering is one of the core disciplines in modern science and technology. In short, electrical engineering is to study the operation and development of electricity. It should be noted that electronic engineering mainly studies electronic circuits, while electrical engineering includes industrial automation and power system besides electronic circuits.
Electrical engineering has three meanings: in the narrowest sense, it only refers to electrical engineering; In a narrow sense, it can refer to electrical engineering and power engineering; Electrical engineering in a broad sense can include electronic engineering, electrical engineering and power engineering. Among them, the second meaning is the most common.
Employment status of electrical engineering major: graduates of this major can engage in teaching, scientific research, engineering design, scientific and technological development, management and economic and trade work of electrical engineering and automation major in colleges and universities, research institutes, companies and enterprises.
Recommended by electrical engineering colleges: Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Georgia Institute of Technology, University of California at Berkeley, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, etc.
Employment situation of electronic engineering major: The employment direction of graduates majoring in electronic engineering is both broad and targeted. Communication, electric power, electronics, and even machinery and computer industries can all be counted as graduates of electronic engineering-electronic engineers will be found in all indispensable fields of circuits and electronic components.
Recommended by electronic engineering institutions: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Michigan at ann arbor, Carnegie Mellon University, Cornell University, University of California at Berkeley, California Institute of Technology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, etc.
Second, what safety issues should be paid attention to when studying in the United States?
1, studying in America
There is a saying in China that "when in Rome, do as the Romans do". When you go to the United States, you have to have a slightly comprehensive understanding of local laws, religions and customs, learn to respect other people's cultures and customs, and strengthen your awareness of self-protection in this strange environment. Even local tyrants should not bring a lot of cash. It is always good to keep a low profile. As for traveling at night, it is traveling together. You can tell your friends at school first, if you want to go somewhere, when you will come back.
2. Certificate security
American students must take good care of their important personal documents and don't show them easily. When someone checks your certificate, remember to show your identity or work permit for verification. Of course, you should be polite. If you meet the police, don't rush to prove yourself without the police asking you to show your identification. Put your hand in your pocket and get your papers. Because the United States allows citizens to hold guns, the American police are very sensitive to the action of "drawing a gun", and he may mistakenly think that you are drawing a gun, which will cause serious consequences. You can only show your papers when the police ask you to show them. To be on the safe side, you can write down the police's ID number, car number, etc. Back up important files just in case. Once the documents are lost or stolen, they should report to the police station in time and apply for a written certificate of loss reporting. The relevant departments should cooperate with each other and reissue them as soon as possible.
3. Accommodation safety
Generally speaking, university dormitories are relatively safe, but most students rent houses off campus, so it is particularly important to choose houses in areas with good public security. Those places are safe. This information can be consulted by senior China. If possible, live near the subway station, and there are often school buses near the school. You can make full use of these resources. Of course, it is best to have good friends to rent a house together, but we should take care of each other. Never choose a dark and remote place to save money. We can't save the money Remember to check the safety of power supply and gas before going out or going to bed, whether the doors and windows are locked, and ask friends or neighbors to pay attention to the safety of the house when going out.
4. Campus safety
To study in America, safety is undoubtedly the most important thing. There are thousands of universities in the United States, and not every school is safe. Before choosing a school, learn more about the security situation of the school and be aware of it. It is a better way to know the school safety and go to official website. Because according to federal law, all colleges and universities in the United States must disclose the crimes that have happened in their schools, such as robbery, murder, arson and so on. Search for relevant keywords in the school, and you can view relevant news. If there is more news and time-intensive, then the security situation of the school is worrying, so we should consider it carefully when choosing.
5. Driving safety
Students who travel and drive should not park in sparsely populated places. Remember to close the doors and windows when leaving, and don't leave valuables in the car. Although it's cool to pick up strange beautiful women and handsome men at random in American TV series, others are wearing the aura of male and female protagonists. In reality, such behavior is quite dangerous. And don't take a strange car. Don't take the subway too early or too late without special circumstances. If you have to, you can consider taking a taxi, write down the car number and send it to your friends. Don't take the subway too close to the edge, and don't take an empty bus. The car in the middle is safer, so try not to take the seat at the entrance and exit of the car, because this is the favorite place for gangsters to start. If there are few people on the bus, you can sit near the driver.
6. Social security
First of all, no matter how local tyrants you are, you should learn to keep a low profile and not show off your wealth, so as not to cause some malicious people to approach you intentionally. This is by no means alarmist. Be careful when you go out. Be cautious in your daily words and deeds, be cautious in making friends and protect your privacy. There are often many parties at school, and everyone will drink a little wine, not to say that they can't drink, but to drink in moderation, especially girls.
7. Legal guarantee
The reason why the legal protection should be listed separately is mainly because the laws in China are very different. Many things that China thinks are sesame seeds and mung beans have risen to the legal level in the United States, and China students have violated the law without knowing it. Such as smoking, drinking, copying homework, downloading pirated music or videos, discriminating, racing, bullying classmates, etc. Before going to the United States, knowing more about the basic American legal knowledge will undoubtedly be of great help to your American life.
