Gu Ailing since the Beijing Winter Olympics shined, has become an idol in the minds of many netizens in China and the United States, too many young women to Gu Ailing's experience as a goal, the most important thing is that Gu Ailing's age-transcendent confidence, self-discipline and self-improvement, this is the pain point that arouses the young generation's yearning, maybe we can't live like Gu Ailing, but at least we can love, try, and insist on some things that seem to have a very ambitious goal like her
When the Beijing Winter Olympics ended, Gu Ailing stayed in Beijing for a short time until the end of April, and then flew back to his home in the United States with his mother Gu Yan and grandmother Feng Guozhen, then from the beginning of May to now, Gu Ailing has participated in major award ceremonies in the United States, France, Monaco and other places, received weight awards and delivered speeches on top occasions, and the trip of more than two months has occupied almost all of Gu Ailing's vacation time, but it can also be seen from the side that Gu Ailing is not only one of the world's top athletes, but also a guest of honor on important occasions in global sports Then it will be August, and Gu Ailing will almost be able to accept it, because she is about to usher in her college career and will officially enroll in Stanford University
Previously, Gu Ailing was admitted to her mother Gu Yan's alma mater Stanford University with excellent results close to full marks (only 20 points are full of points), which is a top three private institutions in the world for many years, and students who can enter Stanford University can at least be called "world-class" in the academic field, but since Stanford University is a private school, then such a top institution of higher learning, natural tuition fees are not cheap!
Stanford University, as one of the world's top universities, has been in a leading position in the world university rankings, and even has world-class academic influence in many fields, and ranks second in the "University Ultra High Net Worth Alumni Ranking", the first is another well-known university Harvard University, here by the way, Gu Ailing's mother Gu Yan once studied at Stanford University, and Gu Ailing's father, although there is not much identity information now, but the known information shows that Gu Ailing's father graduated from Harvard University!
Then the talents who came out of Stanford University, including industry leaders, political celebrities and many rich people in the business world, in addition to the institution that trained the largest number of members of the US Congress, also trained 17 NASA astronauts, and the birth of the world's famous entrepreneurs is countless, including Google, HP, Yahoo, Cisco, Nike, Logitech, NVIDIA and other companies founders, and Stanford University is also one of the universities that train the most billionaires, still second only to Harvard University
So such a century-old top institution, naturally tuition fees are not cheap, then Stanford University announced the 2022 tuition standard, for 74570 US dollars per year, according to the exchange rate of the day, converted into about 499,000 yuan, then in other words, four years of university study, tuition alone is about 2 million yuan!
Then this is just tuition, Stanford University's accommodation conditions are more world-class, and according to student preferences, divided into several grades for students to choose, such as the cheapest apartment, about 1300 US dollars per month, according to the exchange rate of the day, converted into about 8710 yuan, but this is the cheapest
Next, let's talk about the more expensive accommodation conditions, the most expensive is that we call the townhouse type, and there are various decoration style options, then the cost of a month is about 2000 US dollars, the fluctuation is not large, converted into about 13400 yuan
Gu Ailing's current identity, even in order to let herself have a quiet learning and accommodation atmosphere, she will definitely choose the most expensive accommodation conditions, if all converted into RMB, a month of accommodation according to 13400 yuan to calculate, a year is 160,000, four years down is 640,000 yuan, plus four years of tuition is about 2 million yuan, then a total of Gu Ailing finished studying at Stanford University for four years, the total cost is about 2.64 million yuan!
So what if we compare our well-known universities and universities in China? Here to take Tsinghua University and Peking University to make a comparison, Tsinghua University's annual tuition fees are roughly concentrated between 4,000 and 6,000 yuan, but the field of art and design will be relatively high, almost 10,000 or so per year, and when it comes to accommodation, it can be described as "affordable", almost 700 to 900 yuan per year, but the main reason here is that Tsinghua Peking University is a public school, which is not the same as the private nature of Stanford University
