Nowadays, going study abroad is very popular. Many people want to the United States of America, because other people will envy them and they can get a certificate from abroad, which separate them from the students in domesticate.
But there are some disadvantage of going abroad. People should study for SAT, which is very difficult for the foreign students. People should study English very hard, and it is very demanding. Also going study abroad is very expensive, especially for the schools of top ten, although the schools abroad may have good conditions for study.
If i have chances, i will choose to study in domesticate. Because many of my friends will remain in domesticate, and it is easily to keep in touch with them. Also it is easier for me to get a good score in the entrance exam to the university.
国内和国外对大学教育功能的定位不一样。就如其名字Liberal arts education所表达的一样，美国大学本科教育是一个自由人最基本的教育，它帮助一个体成长为一个具有理性思辨能力和批判精神的健全人。而中国的大学教育，由于历史和经济发展水平等诸多原因，还被定位成培养某方面专业人才的专才教育。
两者最大的区别在于，前者之目标是为了培养健全的个体，使其成为一个称职的文明社会公民;而后者之目标在于培养工具式的人才。由于两者在目标上存在着本质的区别，因此中美大学教育在其他诸多方面也存在着根本性的差别。他们又可以集中地体现在专业选择和课程设置上。
中国的大学生在入学前，就已经确定了某一专业。并且，从进入大学的第一学期，就开始学习专业课程。并且，中国的大学课程中，专业课程(包括核心课程和相关课程)至少占到总课程数的60%以上。而美国大学生在进入大学时并无专业之分，而是按照一定的要求学习一些公共科目。
