People always reject things they are not familiar with to cover up their ignorance and ignorance.
Because I grew up listening to Emily's rap and watching various Hollywood movies, I chose to go to college in the United States after graduating from high school.

In 2018, I started my life in the United States through a study abroad agency. However, in my opinion now, studying abroad can not find a study abroad agency without looking for a study abroad agency, especially for high school students. Because of the service of high school study abroad application school, study abroad agencies will generally charge 30,000-100,000 fees, in addition, some study abroad agencies will even let you sign some contracts, such as you have to pay some fees through them when you go out to study, such as homestays, the purpose is to collect a large difference.

Unfortunately, I was the one who was pitted. At that time, I was looking for a host family for $2,000 per month, but in fact, only $1,000 per month was in the hands of the host family. Therefore, I recommend that small partners who want to study abroad do their own research, especially those who are better at English. You can find your own school and contact information on the Internet, understand its admission requirements and needs information, and then get in touch with the school by email. In fact, many private high schools in the United States have their own host family resources, and the school will even take the initiative to arrange for you in order to let you go to school. If you contact the school directly, all the intermediary fees can be saved. Some people will wonder if this will be unreliable. Don't worry, the intermediary earns money with unequal information. If you are not bad at all, it is indeed more worry-free to find an intermediary. However, for most families, it is still within their own capabilities to make the most cost-effective choice to reduce the burden on their families.

I attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, or UIUC for short. It is a college located in rural America, located in the twin cities of Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, in the central United States. There is a corn test field next to the school, where only professors and students from the College of Agriculture can conduct experiments, and students from other departments are not allowed to break into the test field without permission. On the way from the school to the airport, you can see a large area of cornfield, which is extremely beautiful. UIUC is very friendly to Chinese students and is one of the universities in the United States that admits the largest number of Chinese students. Therefore, it is often jokingly called "Cornfield University", "Baodi College", "Champagne College", and sometimes telling others that he is studying at UIUC will be questioned about going to Pheasant University, and the diploma is too watery.

The fact is that UIUC is known as the "Public Ivy League", along with the University of California, Berkeley and the University of Michigan, and is called the "Big Three of American Public Universities". The school's school of engineering is the supreme in the United States and even in the world, the American university engineering school ranks in the top five, almost all engineering majors are ranked in the top ten in the United States, electrical, civil, materials, agriculture, environment, machinery and other majors ranked in the top five in the United States, computer engineering ranked second in the United States. In UIUC, as long as you are admitted to the five ace majors of engineering, business, media, architecture, agriculture, etc., it is equivalent to half a foot has stepped into the door of famous enterprises. The famous director Ang Lee also studied at UIUC.

The water is for people, not schools. Studying at UIUC, you can calm down and enjoy every scenery of the school, read with peace of mind, and constantly improve. Maybe many years from now, you'll miss yourself on campus.
The most important thing about learning a language is the environment. But the language environment is the price of being full, that is, less ideal mental health.
When I first went to the United States, my spoken language was very unfamiliar. Although I began to receive a systematic English education at a very young age, my English familiarity and sense of language are already very good in China. Coupled with the fact that my Grades in English were in the top few grades since I was a child, I never expected that language would become an obstacle in my study abroad life. I was devastated by the all-English language environment, and I found myself completely inferior to the little rookies in the novice village.

I was in the same host family as a Korean student, and I was thrilled to see him for the first time, to express that we're both Asians, "we're both Asians," and I blurted out "we're both aliens." After saying this, I was so embarrassed that I wanted to fly back to China in situ. Witty, he quickly understood me, the word "alien" has the meaning of a foreigner, and I was suddenly not so embarrassed. For a long time, it was a bitter language adaptation period, listening to people talking, watching movies, I could understand, but when I was really asked to say it, I really couldn't say anything. I think that kind of discomfort of scratching my ears and scratching my cheeks will never happen again.
No matter where you go, as an outsider, not good enough, others will be somewhat repellent of you. All people instinctively reject things they are not familiar with, and this is human instinct.
