June Some of my foreign friends have asked me about the process of entering an American university so here I will tell you how it works First you have to choose which university you want to attend This is not easy as there are over 3 000 universities and colleges in the USA Do you want to stay near home or do you want to go far away What do you want to study Once you have decided what is important to you would suggest choosing about five schools to apply to This way if one or two schools do not accept you you still have a chance of being accepted by the others After you have chosen which schools you would like to apply to you have to complete an application form for each one You also need to ask two or three of your teachers to write letters to the universities explaining why you would be a good university student For many people the worst part of applying for university is taking tests Depending on which college or university you want to enter you have to take either the Scholastic Aptitude Test SAT which tests your language math and writing skills or the American College Test ACT which tests your knowledge in English math science and history After you have been accepted to a university you need to be able to pay for your study there To help students pay for their education the government offers loans 贷款 which students do not have to repay until after they graduate Scholarships 奖学金 are also available to students who have excellent grades are good athletes or have financial 财政 needs Because university tuition is so expensive many students also work part time while they are at university University courses are quite different from classes at high school You only attend each class two or three times a week you have to study a lot more outside of class Classes are much bigger too and some can have as many as 200 students in them There will be many new things to learn but I think I will enjoy university Main items Context 1 university It is 2 to choose only one or two universities to apply to Choosing more universities can add to the 3 of being admitted to by one of them Applying for university Fill in an application form for 4 university with your teachers reference letters Take 5 in the proper tests according to the university you have chosen 6 for education Apply for the loans 7 by the government which can be repaid after graduation Scholarships can be given to those 8 have excellent grades etc Find part time 9 while at university Attending classes There are fewer classes in university than at high school The 10 of the students
