Argument
I chose this theme because I am in the twelfth grade and I researched
information about different universities where I can go. After I askedseveral students I came to the conclusion that most stundents prefer
universities abroad.Some of them told me that the best universities are in
America and others that are in England and I wanted to know the
difference between these universities and why they are so popular.
My paper presents some differences and similarities among the science
profiles of 4 famous funiversities. There are 3 universities from the
United States of America and one university from England.
The chosen theme is structured in chapters addressed separately as
distinct parts.

The first chapter isRanking of World Universities,
and it focuses on the value of world universities given bythe number of very important scientific activities,
including the main published articles, by size and
visibility . All these 4 universities are considered to be
very good because they are in top 30( MassachusettsInstitute of Technology 1st, University of California
Berkeley 4th, California Institute of Technology 7th,
University of Cambridge 28th ) , while the best
Romanian university is not in top 1000.

In the second chapter isWebsite structure,here I
wrote about the web pages of these universities,including predominant colours and psychological impact.
This chapter is important to realize the comparison
among universities because it shows how the
universities are organized. Sometimes, the actualizationof every website is made by students and this thing is
representative, because if the website is a good one, the
students from Computer Science are competent in their
work.

The website of MIT has a black background. Black is not
considered colour and represents authority and power. It is popular
in fashion because it makes people appear thinner, so it is stylish.
In the picture below is shown a screen capture representing thehome page of this website.

Berkeley University of California has a website predominated by
blue. The color of the sky and the ocean, blue is one of the most
popular colors. It causes the opposite reaction as red. Peaceful,
tranquil blue causes the body to produce calming chemicals, so it is
often used in bedrooms. Fashion consultants recommend wearing
blue to job interviews because it symbolizes loyalty. People are more
productive in blue rooms. The screen capture below shows the
interface of Berkeley website.

The website of Caltech has a white and black
background. White is not considered a color, having the
same property like black. Brides wear white to symbolize
innocence and purity. White reflects light and is
considered a summer color. White is popular in
decorating and in fashion because it is light, neutral, and
goes with everything. However, white shows dirt and istherefore more difficult to keep clean than other colors.
Doctors and nurses wear white to imply sterility. The next
picture contains the homepage of the website.

University of Cambridge is also predominated of white and
it contains also blue and green which is the most popular
decorating color, symbolizing nature. It is the easiest color onthe eye and can improve vision. It is a calming, refreshing
color. People waiting to appear on TV sit in "green rooms" to
relax. Hospitals often use green because it relaxes patients.
Brides in the Middle Ages wore green to symbolize fertility. In
the picture below is shown a screen capture representing the
home page of this website.

The third section is Admissions & financial aid,it
presents useful information about the admissions to these
universities and some opportunities to get some money for
studies. On the one hand, the admission is distributed in 3 main
headings: Freshman ( person who is thinking of university for
college ), Transfer ( if a person wants to transfer from anothercollege ) and Professional Programs ( if a person is looking for
educational opportunities that enhance leadership, practice and
innovation ). The admission is also different for a foreign
person. On the other hand, there are many financial aids: loans,scholarships and aids for special circumstances.

Research
In this chapter is emphasizes the importance of scientificdiscoveries for every university which has a science profile.
Only the research can prove that these abstract subjects like
Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry are fundamental for a
better existence. The majority of laboratories are for medicalsciences because diseases are the most serious problems in
our life, but there are also many scientific explorers who try to
discover many things in Architecture, Astronomy, Economics,
Mathematics, Physics, Robotics and artificial intelligence.

In the section, Job opportunities, are presented some
possibilities to work during the faculty ( part-time jobs ) or after
the license examination ( full-time jobs ). The first case isessential for students with a poor financial situation and in this
category most of them are from Africa or Asia. Evidently, these
students look for a job in their domain of interest, but in most
cases they have other jobs like deliverer, waiter orwasherwoman. It is difficult for them to learn and to work, but
after their studies they will have good salaries in important
institutions. In the second case every student can see that his
intellectual efforts are for nothing. A student from any of these 4 universities will find a good job
with a substantial salary, because there are many contracts
between universities and important companies.

Students opinions
This is the last chapter and it shows what students from differentcountryes think about these 4 universities and why they chose to
apply for that educational institution.I would definitely go for Cambridge
than Yale.
Cambridge is just at prestigious asYale but the campus and the people
at Cambridge are nicer.

My dad did an informal research project. He talked with
either Human Resources people or EngineeringManagers at 4 different companies, all in California, all
very large and very successful, all famous for technology
leadership. These companies actively run recruiting
programs at CalTech, MIT and Berkeley and compete to
attract their graduates.
