Argument

I chose this theme because I am in the twelfth grade and I researched

information about different universities where I can go. After I askedseveral students I came to the conclusion that most stundents prefer

universities abroad.Some of them told me that the best universities are in

America and others that are in England and I wanted to know the

difference between these universities and why they are so popular.

My paper presents some differences and similarities among the science

profiles of 4 famous funiversities. There are 3 universities from the

United States of America and one university from England.

The chosen theme is structured in chapters addressed separately as

distinct parts.

The first chapter isRanking of World Universities,

and it focuses on the value of world universities given bythe number of very important scientific activities,

including the main published articles, by size and

visibility . All these 4 universities are considered to be

very good because they are in top 30( MassachusettsInstitute of Technology 1st, University of California

Berkeley 4th, California Institute of Technology 7th,

University of Cambridge 28th ) , while the best

Romanian university is not in top 1000.

In the second chapter isWebsite structure,here I

wrote about the web pages of these universities,including predominant colours and psychological impact.

This chapter is important to realize the comparison

among universities because it shows how the

universities are organized. Sometimes, the actualizationof every website is made by students and this thing is

representative, because if the website is a good one, the

students from Computer Science are competent in their

work.

The website of MIT has a black background. Black is not

considered colour and represents authority and power. It is popular

in fashion because it makes people appear thinner, so it is stylish.

In the picture below is shown a screen capture representing thehome page of this website.

Berkeley University of California has a website predominated by

blue. The color of the sky and the ocean, blue is one of the most

popular colors. It causes the opposite reaction as red. Peaceful,

tranquil blue causes the body to produce calming chemicals, so it is

often used in bedrooms. Fashion consultants recommend wearing

blue to job interviews because it symbolizes loyalty. People are more

productive in blue rooms. The screen capture below shows the

interface of Berkeley website.

The website of Caltech has a white and black

background. White is not considered a color, having the

same property like black. Brides wear white to symbolize

innocence and purity. White reflects light and is

considered a summer color. White is popular in

decorating and in fashion because it is light, neutral, and

goes with everything. However, white shows dirt and istherefore more difficult to keep clean than other colors.

Doctors and nurses wear white to imply sterility. The next

picture contains the homepage of the website.

University of Cambridge is also predominated of white and

it contains also blue and green which is the most popular

decorating color, symbolizing nature. It is the easiest color onthe eye and can improve vision. It is a calming, refreshing

color. People waiting to appear on TV sit in "green rooms" to

relax. Hospitals often use green because it relaxes patients.

Brides in the Middle Ages wore green to symbolize fertility. In

the picture below is shown a screen capture representing the

home page of this website.

The third section is Admissions & financial aid,it

presents useful information about the admissions to these

universities and some opportunities to get some money for

studies. On the one hand, the admission is distributed in 3 main

headings: Freshman ( person who is thinking of university for

college ), Transfer ( if a person wants to transfer from anothercollege ) and Professional Programs ( if a person is looking for

educational opportunities that enhance leadership, practice and

innovation ). The admission is also different for a foreign

person. On the other hand, there are many financial aids: loans,scholarships and aids for special circumstances.

Research

In this chapter is emphasizes the importance of scientificdiscoveries for every university which has a science profile.

Only the research can prove that these abstract subjects like

Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry are fundamental for a

better existence. The majority of laboratories are for medicalsciences because diseases are the most serious problems in

our life, but there are also many scientific explorers who try to

discover many things in Architecture, Astronomy, Economics,

Mathematics, Physics, Robotics and artificial intelligence.

In the section, Job opportunities, are presented some

possibilities to work during the faculty ( part-time jobs ) or after

the license examination ( full-time jobs ). The first case isessential for students with a poor financial situation and in this

category most of them are from Africa or Asia. Evidently, these

students look for a job in their domain of interest, but in most

cases they have other jobs like deliverer, waiter orwasherwoman. It is difficult for them to learn and to work, but

after their studies they will have good salaries in important

institutions. In the second case every student can see that his

intellectual efforts are for nothing. A student from any of these 4 universities will find a good job

with a substantial salary, because there are many contracts

between universities and important companies.

Students opinions

This is the last chapter and it shows what students from differentcountryes think about these 4 universities and why they chose to

apply for that educational institution.I would definitely go for Cambridge

than Yale.

Cambridge is just at prestigious asYale but the campus and the people

at Cambridge are nicer.

My dad did an informal research project. He talked with

either Human Resources people or EngineeringManagers at 4 different companies, all in California, all

very large and very successful, all famous for technology

leadership. These companies actively run recruiting

programs at CalTech, MIT and Berkeley and compete to

attract their graduates.
