Carnegie Mellon University

Located three miles from downtown Pittsburgh in a 140-acre campus, Carnegie Mellon is a private research university, founded in 1900 by Andrew Carnegie as the Carnegie Technical Schools.

Carnegie was a Scottish-American industrialist and philanthropist whose vision was to open a vocational training school for the offspring of working class Pittsburghers. In 1967, Carnegie Tech merged with the Mellon Institute, a science research center founded by the Mellon family of Pittsburgh.

Today, Carnegie Mellon is home to 13,650 students from 114 countries, split roughly evenly between undergraduates and postgraduates. Globally, it regularly ranks in the top 50 universities, but excels in certain disciplines: in 2018, Carnegie Mellon was ranked third in the world for computer science in the QS World University Rankings by Subject. It also featured in the top 10 globally for statistics and operational research.

For the Class of 2021, Carnegie Mellon had an overall admissions rate of 13.53 percent, with the acceptance rates of individual colleges varying significantly: for the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences it was 22 percent, while applicants had a meagre 7 percent chance of admission to the School of Computer Science.

Carnegie Mellon has a distinctive interdisciplinary approach to research and education, establishing programs and centers outside the limitations of departments or colleges and becoming a leader in new fields such as computational finance, information systems, and cognitive sciences.

There are seven academic divisions at Carnegie Mellon, including one of the oldest colleges of fine arts in the United States, as well as schools in the humanities and social sciences; engineering; information systems and public policy; science; and computer science.

Student life at Carnegie Mellon features over 225 student societies and organizations, art galleries, and various singular traditions. Carnegie Mellon\’s campus houses galleries such as The Frame, and the Regina Gouger Miller Gallery, which specializes in contemporary art.

Top class performing arts are staged by students at the Carnegie Mellon School of Music, the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama and the student-run theatrical organization Scotch\’n\’Soda.

Inspired by Andrew Carnegie\’s Scottish heritage, as well as the Mellon family\’s Scots-Irish ancestry, a Celtic flavor runs through the campus, manifested in Scotty, the Scottish Terrier mascot, The Tartan student newspaper, Skibo Gymnasium, The Thistle yearbook, and the Céilidh weekend every fall semester for homecoming.

Fudan University

Ask any would-be Chinese undergraduate where they most would like to study, and chances are Fudan will be mentioned. Based in downtown Shanghai amid the bustle and beauty of this urban metropolis, Fudan is one of China’s most prestigious and selective schools.

It was founded in 1905 shortly before the end of China’s imperial Qing dynasty. The two Chinese characters that make up the name of the university are taken from Confucian philosophy and mean “heavenly light shines day after day” – an indication of the school’s high ideals and aspirations.

Throughout China’s travails during the 20th century, from the Japanese invasion in 1937 to the Cultural Revolution, Fudan University has been a constant presence, evolving with the times into a modern, comprehensive-style university.

It has over 45,000 Chinese students on its books, and an additional 1,750 from overseas – the second highest total nationally. Students study in 17 schools and 69 departments, and the university confers 73 bachelor\’s and 201 master’s degree programs across a wide range of disciplines. It’s consistently ranked among the top five universities in China.

Most students live and study at the main Handan campus. Life on campus is acknowledged as an important part of students’ personal development, and as such there are a wide range of clubs – 310 student clubs in total, including 260 undergraduate organizations, 30 graduate student clubs, and 19 international student clubs. Some have a long history, such as the Fudan Opera Troupe, established in 1925, or the Painting and Calligraphy Society.

Volunteering in the community has also become an important part of student life, with more than 50 college and department volunteer service teams. After the Wenchuan earthquake, 1,077 volunteers from Fudan were part of disaster relief teams, and another 1,300 students volunteered at the Beijing Olympic Games, Paralympics, and World Aquatics Championships.

Fudan is beginning to spread its tentacles over the world, with academic exchange programs and partnerships with more than 200 universities and research institutions, including Harvard, Columbia, and the London School of Economics.

Its alumni are prominent politicians, artists, and scientists who have excelled in their fields, and include the director of the World Bank, Zhang Shengman, as well as Chen Zhongwei, a pioneer of the process of reattaching severed limbs.

KAIST – Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology

Related image Formerly known as the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, KAIST was South Korea’s first research-oriented science and engineering institution when it was founded in 1971.
For such as young university, KAIST’s standing is growing rapidly: it is widely acknowledged as the best university in Korea and has been named the most innovative university in the Asia-Pacific region.
One of its stand-out research projects of recent years saw researchers develop an electric transport system, where vehicles get power from cables underneath the road via non-contact magnetic charging. It’s an example of how KAIST is leading the field in developing new technologies that might tackle world problems such as energy consumption and congestion in cities.
Around 10,000 full-time students attend KAIST, split between 4,000 undergraduates and 6,000 postgraduates. Science, engineering and technology are the school’s main focuses, though the university has branched out in recent years and is now internationally accredited in business education too. It has also adopted dual degree programs with leading world universities such as Carnegie Mellon in the United States and the Technical University of Berlin, and these offer its students diverse educational opportunities.
The university’s main campus is in Daedeok Science Town in the city of Daejeon, 150 kilometers south of the South Korean capital, Seoul. There’s also another campus in Seoul itself, which is home to the business school as well as the graduate schools of finance, management and information and media management.
Most lectures and research activities take place on the Daejeon main campus, which is also where most students live. There is a total of 29 dormitories on the outskirts of the Daedeok campus, strictly segregated along gender lines. There are also apartments for married students outside the campus. Extracurricular activities on campus may not be a priority at KAIST, although there are clubs and societies for students, and the university holds regular arts events including opera, drama, pop concerts, dance and classical recitals.
