It is the season for graduate school entrance examinations, and when I checked the enrollment brochure of colleges and universities, I found that some colleges and universities no longer provide accommodation for graduate students. Some candidates were confused, what is going on?If the school does not provide accommodation, it is not renting an off-campus apartment. In addition to the inconvenience of Xi study, it also has to increase the cost of rent and transportation, which is not a small expense. Seeing that the cost of graduate school may double, some candidates are wondering whether this graduate school is worth reading
This article collects the brochures of some schools to recruit master's students in 2024, and finds that not all universities no longer provide accommodation for all graduate students, but only a few schools no longer provide on-campus accommodation for a few types of graduate students.
Judging from the content of the enrollment prospectus, there are three main situations: first, academic graduate students are full-time, and there is no school that does not provide on-campus accommodation. Accommodation is mainly provided for part-time postgraduate students.
Second, full-time professional degree graduate students, some provide accommodation, some do not, and some do not provide accommodation for local students. This is selective.
Third, part-time professional degree graduate students, in accordance with the regulations, generally admit on-the-job candidates, and it is a directional training, mainly on weekends, holidays and other spare time classes, do not transfer to the file, do not move into the hukou, so the school does not arrange accommodation.
Fourth, only a few schools no longer provide accommodation for all professional degree graduates, including full-time and part-time majors.
Different places and universities have different resources, and there are also various ways to provide accommodation for graduate students, but the vast majority of schools provide accommodation for all full-time graduate students. Shandong is doing very well, and the full-time master's students enrolled in colleges and universities must have a place to live. "They are full-time students and have to arrange accommodation. Therefore, Shandong universities do not arrange accommodation for "part-time graduate students".
Please read the following diagram carefully and do not repeat it.
This question is relatively simple, three words: can't live. Why can't you live?There are two scenarios.
First, the enrollment has been expanded year after year. The expansion of enrollment includes two aspects, one is the continuous expansion of undergraduate students, and the other is the continuous expansion of graduate students. Some schools blindly expand the scale of their schools regardless of the actual resources, and the final result is naturally that they cannot live in the school. Shandong has done a good job in this regard, and when arranging the graduate enrollment plan, it has given full consideration to the hardware facilities of the university, so as not to allow full-time master's students to be unable to arrange accommodation.
Take, for example, the expansion of graduate student enrollment. There are 2863712 students in 2019, 3139598 students in 2020, and 3332373 students in 2021, while only 1645845 students in 2011, and the enrollment is still expanding in the past two years. In 2022, the national graduate enrollment was 124250,000 people, an increase of 5 over the previous year61%, and 365 graduate students are enrolled360,000 (55.5 Ph.D. students.)610,000 people, 309 master's students750,000 people), which was 22 times.
Second, the length of study is extended. Due to the increasingly stringent graduation requirements, some schools have extended the duration of postgraduate studies from two years or two and a half years to three years. At the same time, the number of "postponements" of graduate studies is gradually increasing, and some doctoral students have been in school for 4 or even 6 years, which has also caused the limited accommodation resources on campus to become more strained. Some schools therefore stipulate that accommodation is not provided for graduate students beyond the basic Xi period (length of study).
Why do you want to expand enrollment if you can't live?The answer is equally simple, make money. This is something that many schools are reluctant to admit and dare not say publicly. If you think about it simply, you can see that if you can't live there, you can expand your enrollment, but you don't need to build a dormitory, how much money does it save?Obviously it is to make money, but some people put on the cloak of "in line with international standards" to cover up their ugliness, saying that this is the trend of the times.
Renting a house off-campus for graduate school is also a joy and a worry. The children of rich families are happy to be so happy. The vast majority of students are worried, renting a house for graduate school not only has to bear the high rent, but also has to have a daily transportation expenses, if they can't find a job after graduation, the deficit is too big, and whether to go to graduate school has become a difficult choice.
If you really want to go to graduate school, you don't have to be pessimistic about it, there is still a lot of room for choice, and you can make a choice according to your own situation. Some colleges and universities have explicitly announced that they will no longer provide accommodation for graduate students, but in fact they have cited a dissuasion card, you can just take a detour, why bother to bump the card. I don't know how many students have read this meaning.
Academic graduate students areIt is full-time, the school must provide accommodation. This tells students to strive for a master's degree.
Part-time professional degree graduatesIt is characterized as a part-time nature, and the university no longer provides accommodation. This is only suitable for candidates who live close to the school, or who have convenient transportation. Candidates from other places or those with inconvenient local transportation should not join in the fun.
Full-time professional degree graduates, if the school provides accommodation, you can apply for the exam;Otherwise, out-of-town candidates should give up decisively because the cost is too high.
Netizens, the school no longer provides accommodation, and it is not worth it to study in graduate school, and you need to make a comprehensive judgment from the school's situation, the type you choose, the target major, the employment prospects, and your own situation, and there is no standard answer. I don't know how you feel about this, welcome to leave a message to share.
