Considerations at various stages of studying in the United States

Many people mainly consider studying abroad from the perspective of their children's education. From an educational perspective, the United States is undoubtedly the first choice for most people. So when is the right time to study in the United States? Studying in the United States is a different experience for primary school students, junior high school students, high school students and college students. Today I would like to share with you the pros and cons of studying in the United States at various stages, including primary school. The advantage of studying in the United States in primary school is that children have a short adaptation period and English is almost no burden, and they can quickly adapt to the American learning environment, which is very conducive to the educational environment in the United States. When I was growing up in junior high school, high school, and college, I had no problem adapting or integrating into the United States. Because of this, children's ability in Chinese is gradually weakening. The only thing that can make up for this shortcoming is the influence of the family's Chinese environment on the child. Whether it is good for primary school students to study in the United States depends entirely on the individual, but it is necessary to consider the opportunities for children to live and develop in such an environment in the future. This needs to be decided by parents after weighing the pros and cons.

The advantage of studying abroad in junior high school is that students can lay a good foundation in academics and English. In high school stage, they can stand on the same starting line as other American children. Although they lose some opportunities for activities, they also gain It does not affect the overall situation. American universities do not require junior high school grades, so if your junior high school grades are not satisfactory, there are still opportunities to make up for it in high school. The biggest problem of studying abroad in junior high school is that the children are too young to drive, and there are no school buses in private schools. Picking up and dropping off children is a big problem. At the junior high school level, there are so many activities. Picking up and dropping off is not only a matter of going to and from school, but also picking up and dropping off students when participating in activities. Parents of junior high school students studying abroad need to be able to solve this problem. In addition, safety is also particularly important. Generally speaking, junior high school students who are just starting out have a slightly higher chance of accidents and going astray due to changes in the humanistic environment and geographical environment. Therefore, when junior high school students study in the United States, parents must think carefully and be sure before letting them go.

The Chinese factor of high school international students is already very strong and their Chinese proficiency is almost perfect. The adaptation period in the United States takes at least two years, and the accent has been formed and is almost difficult to change throughout life. English is a foreign language and will never replace Chinese as the mother tongue. At least when taking the college entrance examination, schools will require most high school students studying abroad to take the test. With the experience of living and studying in the United States in high school, foreign students at the university level are slightly inferior to American students in advanced English. In other aspects, they have a head start compared with domestic students who have just come to study as undergraduates. At least they no longer need two or three years. Years of English adaptation period. In addition, in terms of college admissions, many schools have made it clear that international students in the United States will be treated equally with American students as long as they do not apply for scholarships. Nowadays, it is not difficult to study in the United States. Entering a prestigious school is the focus of competition. Therefore, the proportion of international students coming to the United States is increasing year by year, and competition among international students has also begun to intensify.

The first two years of American universities focus on basic courses and the next two years focus on professional courses. The two years of learning basic courses are the most tiring for students. Of course, there are many benefits to going to college in the United States. After years of college study, most international students’ working English will be impeccable. China, the United States and even the world will be the stage for them to display their talents. You will also be able to continue your studies in the United States and other countries. Among the many universities in the world, prestigious American schools have the most advantages, especially undergraduate programs, which are the best among the best. American undergraduate programs are the most difficult to study and the most worthwhile because they contain so much gold.
