Brief introduction to school history
Princeton, a small town in central New Jersey? As early as 1693, European immigrants settled here? However, it was not until 1724 that this place was officially named Princeton.
Later, because New Jersey College moved here, it was renamed Princeton University. This place is famous as a university town in the United States, and has gradually formed a unique cultural landscape and small town style.
Princeton University, formerly known as theCollegeofNewJersey, was founded in Elizabeth on 1746? It is one of the four largest universities in North America, and the four universities have been established as Harvard, William and Mary, Yale and New Jersey College.
/kloc-moved to Newark in 0/747? 1756, Fang moved to Princeton, 1896, and the school was officially renamed Princeton university.
Just like other English schools in the North American colonies, Princeton has a strong European educational style.
The founding purpose emphasizes the cultivation of students' comprehensive literacy in humanities.
The ultimate goal is to cultivate scholars who are proud of the country and the church through their unique educational methods.
This tradition is still the focus of the school? And the significance of expressing religion is no longer seen.
Graduates have inherited this tradition and left their marks in all walks of life? Make Princeton famous.
For example, there are governors and Hollywood stars among the graduates.
Most notably, two alumni have served as presidents of the United States: President james madison (177 1) and President Woodrow Wilson (1879).
Academically, it is also because of the advantages of teaching and learning.
Eight of the Nobel Prize winners in physics are professors from ordinary universities? Einstein, a famous master of relativity, also taught here and engaged in advanced research.
Although the European style of study deeply influenced Puda University, the war of independence ignited in the British colony once turned Princeton into a battlefield.
For example, Na Sujar, which is now the administrative building on campus, was used as a stronghold of military camps and hospitals by the Independent Allied Forces or British troops several times during the War of Independence.
1783, the Continental Congress was held in Natasha Hall. Allied leader Washington presented fifty gold coins to Princeton University in recognition of its contribution to the war.
This historical influence of European colonization and the war of independence has made Puda's style of study more dual in inheritance and innovation.
This style of historical inheritance and modern innovation has been more clearly displayed in the campus building covering an area of 2,000 mu.
All Gothic school buildings, colonial British buildings or the structural design of contemporary famous artists are the focus of visitors, making the campus like a living architectural museum.
During the visit, it is not difficult to find the works carefully designed by the famous China architect, Mr. SpelmanHall.
Second, the department introduction
PUU * * has 63 departments and various inter-departmental cooperative learning courses; The research has more than 50 departments and three professional research institutes.
Starting from the initial scale of 1900? That is, it focuses on the cultivation of doctoral talents in humanities and science and engineering.
In addition to doctoral degrees, all three professional colleges have master's degrees. Except for the Department of Music, Art and Archaeology for Near East and Soviet Studies, all other departments occasionally have master's degrees awarded? Other departments adhere to the original intention of cultivating theoretical talents and do not grant master's degrees. This tendency may be one of the reasons why the number of international students in Taiwan Province Province is not significant in the total number of graduate students.
Although theoretical research is the style of study of Puda University, it still establishes interdisciplinary professional research institutes in the belief of complementary learning and application.
School of Architecture was established in 19 19, emphasizing hardware planning and design of architectural environment.
At the same time, through the influence of politics, economy, society and behavior, the design concept is combined with local residents and environment.
192 1 year, the school of engineering and applied science was established? There are five departments below? Chemical engineering and electrical engineering, right? Department of Civil Engineering and Operations (Civil Engineering and Operations; Operational research)? Department of Computer Science and Department of Mechanical Aviation Engineering; The last professional college is Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs? Founded in 1930.
It is an interdisciplinary training program in politics, economy and history, aiming at training professional analysts in public administration and international affairs with general knowledge.
The general direction is good at theoretical research.
Although there are three professional colleges, they are still within the scope of cross-departmental theoretical discussion. So, professional colleges in the capitalist job market-business schools, law schools and medical schools? Still not as good as here.
Puda ruled out three enrollment opportunities to expand the source of school funds? It is impossible for other famous Ivy League schools or emerging schools to maintain their theoretical tendency for their academic style and simple school spirit.
Third, research equipment.
Research equipment and books are another commendable thing of PUU.
There are more than five million books in the school? Three million microfilms? FirestoneLibrary and other 22 professional college libraries have collected more than 30,000 contemporary periodicals, precious manuscripts and documents.
Goldstein Oriental Library provides a good place for oriental students here to relax their homesickness. In addition to the classical and contemporary academic research documents of East Asian countries, there are many volumes of classical and contemporary novels in the collection, which is a good place for their spare time.
The school has complete computer facilities, ranging from personal computers to various computer workstations and computer networks.
And it can be connected to 1400 universities and research institutions around the world, making data collection and processing fast and accurate.
There is also a history museum on campus? The collection is dominated by art and sculpture from the Mediterranean, Western Europe, China, America and Latin America.
This museum has the functions of research, teaching and collection.
It is a good place for students to open the hall of knowledge.
JamesForrestalCampus, another campus of PUU, is a place to study plasma physics and aerospace engineering? Focus on the basic phenomena such as high speed, high temperature, high energy and high pressure.
Can students in polytechnic institute use this advanced research equipment? Engage in more advanced research.
Fourth, the recent situation on campus.
Princeton University 1995-96 has about 4,600 students.
There are 0/800 graduate students/KLOC, and about 950 teachers. Among them, graduate students do not undertake lectures.
Students come from 50 states in the United States and 63 countries in the world.
Foreign graduate students account for about 35% of the total number of graduate students.
Chinese mainland ranks first among all foreign students, accounting for about one fifth of all foreign students.
International students in Taiwan Province Province account for only 2% of all graduate students and 5% of foreign graduate students.
The number of graduate students studying in Japan, South Korea and Britain is similar.
The fourth international student living together in Taiwan Province Province is a graduate student, majoring in science and engineering.
The annual expenditure for general education is about 530 million yuan, all donated by large organizations or private individuals? About 90% graduate students can get scholarships.
Graduate students can concentrate on their studies and research without financial resources.
It usually takes about seven years to get a doctorate.
However, in recent years, the school has urged students to shorten the period of obtaining doctoral degrees? The current average time is about five years and six months.
Due to the benefits and great reputation of the university town, many research institutions or companies have been set up near or around it to recruit talents or engage in cooperation in construction and education, such as AT & amp； T, Lucent Bell Laboratories, Mobil, Davidson Research Center, NEC, Squibb and ETS are all located here? On the one hand, it provides the diversity of knowledge and culture? On the other hand, it has also created many employment opportunities.
According to the school 1988 survey of doctoral graduates, it shows that? Of the 227 respondents, 155 were employed by academic research departments and 58 were employed by non-academic departments.
The employment rate is as high as 94%, which shows the academic prestige of Puda.

Therefore, choosing a car that can walk instead of walking is the life, need and enjoyment of international students here.
But this is by no means necessary.
Because the school has a free shuttle bus between the dormitory and the campus at night, although you can ride a bike or walk to the street to buy it during the day, you don't have to worry about the annoying pain of skating in the cold snow in winter.
Besides, have you lived in a small town for a long time? Is it worthwhile to study abroad to visit relatives and friends or broaden your knowledge? It is the greatest pleasure in the holiday, and whether you have a car becomes the focus of consideration.
