How do the names of these foreign universities all sound strange? In fact, these universities are the top universities abroad, and we should not be deceived by their strange-sounding names.
Today, we will take you to take a look at those overseas famous schools that have been delayed by their names.
1. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
When I first heard about this school, most people wondered, did they make champagne or champagne? What does champagne have to do with Erie (milk)? Why are the two of them together? It's still a branch school, and it's certainly not a good school.

Its school of engineering is the supreme position in the United States and even the world, always ranked in the top five colleges of engineering in the United States, and almost all engineering majors are in the top ten in the United States. The business school also has a strong strength, accounting, finance and other majors are the first-class level in the United States, of which the accounting major is ranked second in the United States.
2. Purdue University
Purdue University
Pudu sentient beings - "The sea of suffering is endless, turn back to the shore, put down the butcher's knife, and become a Buddha on the ground..." Isn't this a Buddhist college? Does this school have the specialty of Pudu Sentient Beings? Is the best major religious?
Purdue University is a world-renowned science and engineering veteran school, with the seventh-ranked college of engineering in the United States, and almost all major engineering majors are ranked in the top ten in the United States. The school has established a separate airport for students to practice, and all students can take flight lessons to learn aircraft piloting, and after passing the exam, they can also obtain a formal flight license. In addition, it is also the university that trains the most astronauts in the United States, and is known as the "Mother of American Aerospace". Deng Jiaxian, the founder of China's two bombs, and Liang Sili, a rocket expert, both graduated from the university.
Therefore, Purdue University is really not a Buddhist shrine. Similarly, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Notre Dame, which have a strong religious atmosphere. Purdue University does not pudu sentient beings, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill does not have many churches, and the students of the University of Notre Dame are not Virgin Mary.
3. Rice University

Look at Chinese, Rice University, there seems to be nothing wrong with it. English, Rice University, Rice? cooked rice? Rice University? Is the best specialty to study rice? Is the school rice delicious?

4. University of California, Santa Barbara
University of California, Santa Barbara
Listen, Santa Barbara? Baala Little Magic Fairy? Are you two relatives? Or is your school's major related to magic? Take a closer look, branch school? We don't admit branches, so why not work hard to go to the university of California?
I would also like to ask where the main school is? The University of California, the University of California, doesn't have this school! It is a university system consisting of 10 public universities located in California, USA. The University of California does not have a so-called "main campus", and the term "branch" is just a Chinese translation misunderstanding.
The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) is located on a peninsula north of Santa Barbara, a small northwest coastal town in Los Angeles, surrounded by the sea and close to the Pacific Ocean. UCSB is one of the fastest-growing institutions in these 10 years, with the 2022 U.S. News U.S. University Rankings 28.
5. American University
American University
"Which university in the United States did you study at?"
"American University."
"Which university in the United States?"
"As far as ... American University Ah ~ "
"I know it's an American university, but which one is it?"
“………… ”
American universities? Why don't there be Chinese universities in China? This university with the name of the United States always makes people feel full of cottages. It can only be said that sometimes it is not a good thing to be too famous.
American University, also known as American University, is actually worthy of its "American" name. Its name comes from the call of U.S. President George Washington to establish a "national university," and the school is located in Washington, D.C., the political heart of the United States.
Historically, 11 presidents have visited American universities, and 6 U.S. presidents have become directors of schools, including Kennedy, Clinton, and Obama.

6. Texas A&M University
Texas A&M University
Texas farmers? Technical schools? Is Shandong Lanxiang a brother school with us? In contrast, Lanxiang is still a little more famous.
Texas A&M University, translated as Texas A&M University, is translated as Texas A&M University because of the understanding of A&M as Agriculture and Mechanics, which translates to agriculture and machinery. In fact, the current school name A&M is just a symbol, without any practical significance, just to forget the history of the school.
Texas A&M University is a traditional engineering school with the nation's top engineering school and a worldwide reputation. In addition, the school has the top scientific cloning technology, the first cloned cat and dog in human history are its research results.
7-1. Northwestern University
Northwest University
7-2. Northeastern University
Northeastern University
northeast? northwest? East, West, South, North! Is Northwestern The Great Northwest? Is Northeastern University the Tohoku of the Northeast? The location is so remote! The two difficult brothers in the northwest and northeast who have been misunderstood for so many years are not convinced!
Northwestern University, located in Evanston, a northeastern Illinois city, is one of the world's leading private research universities. Northwestern University, ranked 9th in the 2021 U.S. University Overall Rankings, is academically unquestionable, with both the School of Journalism and the School of Business being the strongest in the United States, and the media major is among the best in the United States.

Northeastern's Career Service ranks #1 in the Nation.
8. University of Colgate
Colgate University
Colgate? Sound familiar? That's right, the colgate of toothpaste. When I first heard about this school, I thought it was a nickname for it, but later I found out that it was really called Colgate University.
Colgate University, Colgate University, in English is the same as the toothpaste Colgate we often use, so it is translated as Colgate University. However, one thing to be clear is that it really has nothing to do with toothpaste and toothbrushes, but only because Colgate's founder, William Colgate, donated a large amount of property to the Association for Baptist Education, the predecessor of Colgate University, and finally named the university after him.
The University of Colgate is a well-known private liberal arts college in the United States, known for its liberal arts, and is ranked 12th in the U.S. News & World Report rankings of American liberal arts colleges.
9. University College London
University College London
university? academy? Is it a university or a college? Or what college of the University of London? The british G5 super elite university with leverage is pulled down by the word college, and it will be misunderstood as the three colleges of the University of London.
University College London (UCL) is the first university in London and one of the world's top public integrated research universities, ranking 8th in the world in the QS World University Rankings 21-22. UCL is the uk's largest and most wide-ranging comprehensive research university, specializing in humanities and history, architecture, technology, medicine, political economy and regional studies, and the Department of Computer Science ranks first in the UK, especially in the field of artificial intelligence.
10. University of Waterloo
University of Waterloo
Isn't a good college to hear the name, Waterloo? After attending this school, will you also encounter the Waterloo of life? Does this university have anything to do with the Battle of Waterloo? Why is France's Waterloo in Canada?
The Waterloo of the Battle of Waterloo is not in France, nor is the University of Waterloo in France.
The University of Waterloo is Canada's top public university with the largest engineering school in Canada. The University of Waterloo has a strong tech scene, and one of the founders of BlackBerry, Lazarides, once attended the school, and its graduates are also popular with technology companies. Bill Gates, the former chairman of Microsoft Corporation, visited the University of Waterloo in the fall of 2005 and mentioned in his speech that the University of Waterloo is one of the schools that Microsoft recruits the most graduates.
Many top foreign universities not only teach first-class, but their research and development strength is also the engine of national economic development, which is the model for many developing countries to emulate and the ideal place for international students from all over the world, which is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Therefore, "as the name suggests" to associate the name of the university and the strength of the school is not accurate. I hope that students should listen more and see more when choosing a school, and don't be blinded by the "paragraph"!
