At present, there are rumors on the Internet that more and more colleges and universities no longer provide on-campus accommodation for professional master's (professional master's) students, a trend that troubles students who are preparing for graduate school. This means that the cost of going to graduate school will increase in the future, and it will also deepen the level of concern and concern for parents. Full-time university students have been advocating for a boarding system, and even local students try to live on campus and only go home on weekends. This is mainly done so that students can focus more on their studies and avoid wasting a lot of time on the road. At the same time, living on campus can help students develop self-care skills, develop independent thinking skills, and lay the foundation for their social life after graduation.
Peking University responded to the public that due to the shortage of dormitory resources, the university will no longer provide accommodation for MBA and MPA professional master's degrees starting from the 2024 freshmen. Other 985 universities can expand and open new campuses according to the enrollment situation, but for Peking University, Tsinghua University and other universities located in the urban area of Beijing, due to limited land resources, there is no room for redevelopment. On the premise of making full use of the existing campus resources, canceling the accommodation for professional masters has become the most suitable choice.
There is a fundamental difference between a professional master and a master's degree, and the training goal of a professional master is not scientific research, but to accumulate professional practical experience and lay a foundation for future employment. Therefore, most students do not spend much time on campus during the master's degree. Many students pay for accommodation in vain, so it's better to live on campus and spend it in a more convenient way. Some people wonder why the school continues to expand its enrollment since the dormitory is limitedTo be clear, colleges and universities do not have their own admissions plans. After the school proposes an enrollment plan, it needs to be approved by the Ministry of Education before it can be announced to the public. At present, the number of undergraduates is increasing, and the pressure on employment continues to increase, and expanding the scale of graduate enrollment has become the best way to solve the problem of employment rate. Although the expansion of enrollment can alleviate the pressure of employment, it will also bring a series of problems that we need to deal with one by one.
Considering that post-secondary students are unable to live on campus, some colleges and universities will provide financial assistance to ease the financial pressure of students a little. Although the cost of renting an apartment is higher than the cost of on-campus housing, students may not need to rent an apartment for three consecutive years, and the overall cost difference may not be large when all things are combined. This practice will also indirectly dissuade some students who blindly take the postgraduate entrance examination, making the postgraduate entrance examination group more rational and will not waste valuable employment opportunities in the process of preparing for the exam.
Some students may think that it is more difficult to get a master's degree, and it is relatively easier to get a master's degree. Actually, the difficulty of the two is different. Although the questions of the master's degree are more difficult and the tutor's expectations of the student are higher, the application ratio may be lower than that of the master's degree. In other words, the competition for a master's degree will be more intense, and it will not be easy to go ashore. The tuition fee for a master's degree is relatively high, but the training period is short, which is a better choice for students who do not plan to engage in scientific research. However, with the difference in accommodation privileges, more students may choose to study for a master's degree and ignore long-term planning. Students should understand that the postgraduate entrance examination is not the goal, but the ultimate goal is to realize the ideal of life through graduate school.
The phenomenon that colleges and universities no longer provide accommodation for professional and master's degrees has aroused widespread concern and discussion. Peking University's response showed that the shortage of dormitory resources was the reason, and the cancellation of the dormitory system had become a helpless move. For post-secondary students, they may face higher financial pressure and difficulty renting a house, but many people choose to accept this change and realize that the postgraduate entrance examination is not just for employment, but to achieve their career and life dreams. In this context, the choice of professional and master's degree has also become an issue worth considering. Either way, you need to think about it, make careful decisions, and take steps to meet the challenges you face. At the same time, universities need to pay more attention to the needs of their students and try to provide them with better services and support when resources are limited. Only in this way will we be able to realize that the trend of colleges and universities no longer providing accommodation for professional and master's degrees has attracted widespread attention. For students who are preparing for graduate school, this increases the burden on them, as they need to arrange additional accommodation, and the overall cost of graduate school will also increase. Parents will also be more cautious and worried about the safety of their students. In our country, full-time universities have always advocated boarding school, even if the student's home is in the local area, try to live on campus in order to focus more on their studies and avoid wasting time on the road. In addition, living on campus also helps students develop their independence and thinking skills, laying the foundation for them to establish themselves in society after graduation. If the university no longer provides accommodation, it is estimated that many students will no longer apply for foreign universities, and students with a weak economic foundation may also give up graduate school, which will also have an adverse impact on talent training and talent flow. The practice of some colleges and universities to hand over student accommodation services to social enterprises may be to save resources in dormitory construction and management, and to devote more time and energy to discipline construction. However, it also raises questions about whether a school's admissions plan should depend on the school's ability to nurture and whether the measure will reduce the quality of teaching. The enrollment plan of colleges and universities is not entirely determined by the school, and the school needs to propose a plan and obtain the approval of the Ministry of Education before announcing it. Due to the increasing number of undergraduates and the increasing pressure on employment, expanding the enrollment scale of graduate students has become an effective way to solve the employment problem. However, the expansion of enrollment will also bring a series of problems that we need to actively deal with. Some colleges and universities may provide financial assistance to ease the living pressure of post-secondary students, but the cost of renting is higher than the cost of on-campus accommodation, and post-secondary students need to bear more financial burden. However, it can be taken into account that the overall cost gap may not be large when post-secondary students do not spend much time on campus. In addition, this practice also helps to guide some students who blindly take the postgraduate entrance examination to be more rational about preparing for the exam and fully consider their employment opportunities. For students, choosing between a master's degree or a master's degree is a question that needs to be considered carefully. Some students may think that it is relatively easy to get ashore, but in reality there is no significant difference in difficulty between the two. The examination of the master's degree is more difficult, and the tutor's expectations of the student are also higher, but the application ratio may be lower than that of the master's degree. Therefore, the competition for a master's degree will be more intense, and it is not easy to go ashore. At the same time, the tuition fee for a master's degree is relatively high, but the training period is short, which is suitable for students who do not plan to engage in scientific research. However, when choosing between a master's degree and a master's degree, students need to be clear about their long-term plans and life goals, and make decisions that meet their own development needs. In short, colleges and universities no longer provide accommodation for post-secondary and master's students, which has aroused widespread concern and discussion. Students and parents need to realize that the purpose of going to graduate school is not to pursue academic qualifications, but to achieve their career development and life goals. Against this backdrop, students need to make informed choices, and universities need to pay attention to their needs and provide better support and services. Only in this way will we be able to achieve the goal of healthy development of higher education and personnel training.
