When considering a college, students often prioritize the reputation of their major or school. However, Mr. Zhang Xuefeng, a famous teacher for postgraduate entrance examinations, emphasized that one of the key factors in choosing a university is its geographical location. He believes that 211 universities, which are located in relatively economically backward areas, do not have an advantage in the competition. Although Qinghai University is a university selected for the "211 Project", due to its remote location and low economic level, the university's funding and educational resources are relatively limited, which may have a certain impact on the employment and retention rate of graduates.
Mr. Zhang Xuefeng does not recommend choosing 211 universities with remote geographical location and low economic level, he mentioned the ten worst 211 universities, including Hainan University, Northeast Agricultural University, Liaoning University, Xinjiang University, Shihezi University, Sichuan Agricultural University, Ningxia University, Yanbian University, Qinghai University, and ** University. Most of these universities are located in remote areas where economic development is relatively lagging behind.
Among them, although Hainan University has a good geographical location, there is still a gap in economic development compared with East China. Northeast Agricultural University has made rich research achievements in the field of agriculture and has contributed to agricultural modernization and rural economic development. Liaoning University has first-class disciplines in the fields of literature, history, and economics, and has strong military scientific research strength. Xinjiang University has advantages in the fields of resources and environmental science, agricultural science and engineering, and has played an important role in promoting Xinjiang's economic development.
Although Shihezi University is small, it has certain strengths in the fields of agricultural science, hydraulic engineering and grassland science. Sichuan Agricultural University has advantages in the field of agricultural science and ecological environment, while the abundant resources and unique climatic conditions of Sichuan Province provide a good platform for agricultural scientific research. Ningxia University has expertise in ethnology, history and literature, and is committed to cultivating ethnic minority talents. Yanbian University has expertise in the fields of Korean language and culture, law, and geographical sciences, and actively promotes local economic and social development. Although Qinghai University is geographically remote, as a 211 project university, it has considerable strength in discipline construction and faculty, and has cultivated many outstanding talents for the western region. The university has unique advantages in the fields of Tibetan studies, philosophy, economics, etc., and has made important contributions to the development and cultural preservation of the region.
Overall, location is an important consideration when choosing a university, but even the lowly-ranked 211 universities have their own strengths and strengths. The final choice should be based on a thorough consideration of individual interests and developmental needs.
