These 985 colleges and universities in China are built in the middle of the village, surrounded by deep mountains, and it is too difficult to go to school?
With the long-term development of the country, educational resources have been continuously improved, which is not only reflected in the global rankings, but also in the construction of new campuses of universities.
It is a general rule that regions with better economic conditions usually have better educational resources. As a result, many colleges and universities choose to build new campuses in urban areas or suburbs to make full use of the dividends brought by economic development.
However, the speed at which the times are changing often leads to the location of a well-planned new campus becoming out of touch with the times and becoming remote. This has become a common phenomenon, not just an isolated one. With the growth and expansion of the number of colleges and universities in China, the original campuses of many colleges and universities can no longer meet the enrollment demand. Therefore, in order to adapt to the development of the times, many universities choose to establish new campuses, but this also leads to the geographical lag of many universities.
Lanzhou University is a notable example. As a strong 985 university, Lanzhou University is also the only 985 university in Gansu Province, and its history can be traced back to the Gansu Law and Politics School established during the New Deal period in the late Qing Dynasty. In 1952, it was identified as one of the 14 comprehensive universities in the country and is a university with a glorious history.
However, in September 2000, Lanzhou University decided to build a new campus in Yuzhong, a move that led to the gradual decline of Lanzhou University, which became one of the reasons.
Lanzhou University Yuzhong Campus is located in Xiaguanying Town, Yuzhong County, Lanzhou City, more than 90 miles away from the city center. This figure sounds acceptable, albeit a little further away from the city. But after all, it's a provincial capital, so it shouldn't be so remote, right?
However, if you see a real picture of the campus, you will be disappointed. Lanzhou University's Yuzhong Campus is located in a village, and transportation is also very inconvenient, with little public transportation available. Some students at Lanzhou University even ridiculed themselves as if they were exiled when they went to university, and some teachers and students jokingly said that they were riding camels to school.
According to the university's former president, 36 undergraduates drop out each year, partly because of the fear of the campus.
Although Lanzhou University is now in this situation, in fact, this is not the original intention of Lanzhou University. Initially, Lanzhou University decided to build a new campus elsewhere in Lanzhou because the original campus could not accommodate a large number of students after the expansion. At that time, Lanzhou City planned the Yuzhong area as a key development area, so Lanzhou University believed that the Yuzhong area would become a city center or a prosperous area in the future, so it chose to build a new campus in the area.
However, the results are different from expectations, and now the Yuzhong Campus of Lanzhou University has had a considerable impact on Lanzhou University to some extent. So let's **, is the Yuzhong Campus of Lanzhou University really that bad?
In fact, looking back at the changes in the rankings of Lanzhou University in the 21st century, the overall trend is downward. This is not only due to the brain drain of Lanzhou University, but more importantly, the development of the new campus has not met expectations.
Therefore, some people say that the Yuzhong Campus of Lanzhou University has affected the development of the school, which does make some sense to some extent, but this is also one-sided. Because after years of construction, the infrastructure of Lanzhou University's Yuzhong Campus has been quite complete and can meet the needs of teachers and students.
Taking a step back, Lanzhou University is located in the northwest region, and its economic development is slightly behind that of the coastal areas, and Lanzhou University does not rank high in the budget of 985 universities. Rational allocation of funds is the right thing to do.
In any case, the desolation of the campus is actually acceptable, after all, the university is a place of learning, and what we call it"Oops"It is also the result of comparison with developed regions, which does not mean real desolation.
I believe that Lanzhou University will choose a more correct path in the future and realize its great dream.
