Not rated as the most unfortunate university in 211! The influence exceeds 211, and it once 'matched' with Tsinghua University, and now it is declining
The most powerful colleges and universities in China are the 985, 211 projects and the universities with double first-class construction. This is understandable. These labels not only give these powerful universities a higher reputation, but also attract countless outstanding students. But in fact, there are many dual-non-universities and even the strength of dual-non-universities that cannot be ignored. There are also some colleges and universities whose status, reputation and cultural heritage seem to be comparable to those of 211 colleges and universities, but they have not been selected for this project, making many Netizens feel sorry for it.
The key and well-known university in Hunan Province, Xiangtan University, which I want to talk about today, is a pity for many people because it was not selected for the 211 project. Why is this? Just because in terms of cultural heritage, school background, school development history, and academic strength, Xiangtan University occupies a high position, and it is not inferior to some 211 universities. , it's really a pity.
- It used to be "parallel" with Tsinghua University, but now it's just an ordinary book?
Xiangtan University was founded in 1958. It has a long history of school establishment, and it has a story with a generation of great Chairman Mao. At that time, Chairman Mao personally nominated Xiangtan University and hoped that Xiangtan University would continue to be built into "Tsinghua Garden in the South". However, Xiangtan University has not been built to the same academic height as Tsinghua University. So far, it is still in a rather embarrassing position. Many people are not bad at Xiangtan University, but they have not been selected for the 211 project. "I thought I was reading 211, but in fact I was only studying at a Xiangtan University."
- Strong academic strength and prominent reputation
However, in fact, as one of the first 88 key universities confirmed in the country, the strength of Xiangtan University should not be underestimated. Hunan University is a key university that integrates arts, science and engineering, and has a considerable reputation in Hunan Province.
In recent years, the ranking of Xiangtan University has stabilized at around 90-100. A total of four disciplines including materials science, chemistry, engineering and mathematics have entered the top 1% of ESI in the world, and three national key disciplines include information and computing science, Engineering mechanics and philosophy, as well as a number of B+ disciplines, the discipline construction strength is completely comparable to that of other universities, even comparable to some 211 universities. It can also be seen from this that its comprehensive discipline construction strength is very strong, and it is a very strong university in the first middle school.
- Why "suffer"? Location is the main factor!
The development of Xiangtan University is largely related to the restrictions of the city. Many candidates think that Xiangtan City is not an ideal city choice, and this city cannot bring better construction resources to universities and better development platforms and opportunities for students. Therefore, more excellent teacher and student resources choose to flow to first-tier cities and coastal cities.
Many students said that the educational atmosphere and academic strength of Hunan University are very strong, but there are too few exchange opportunities and internship opportunities for students, which limits the future development of students to a certain extent. Difficulty finding employment" gossip. But in fact, the academic construction strength of Hunan University is really not bad. The development of students can be said to be self-reliant, and they can strive for a better development platform according to their own strength. And now, the hardware facilities and soft power construction of Hunan University are steadily rising. I believe that the construction of the Hunan Conference will get better and better in the future, and there is a great opportunity to impact the double first-class.
