What their Students Say
为了取得硕士学位而再次赴海外留学，已经快一年了。对于留学脚步踏遍欧美大陆的我来说，西式生活和学习已经习以为常。在此，我将自己的个人心得简要罗列一下，希望它能让其他即将出国深造的中国学子作为参考。
首先要跟大家讲明的是，国外留学并非崇洋媚外，主要是体验不同，并不代表国外更好。美国，加拿大，英国，虽然学习和生活模式略有差异，但是本质类似，都讲究自主学习和探究能力，与中国国内按部就班添砖加瓦的教科书模式大不相同。一个注重灵活和实践，另一个则像盖房子一样扎实积累优秀经验，并不存在优劣之分。一般性来讲，不同于国内的高考模式导致的严进宽出，欧美的大学学府都讲究宽进严出。除了诸如常青藤和剑桥牛津等世界顶尖级学府，只要你符合最基本的要求，往往能够进入大学就读。但是如果想要毕业，你必须付出真正的努力，否则等待你的不是停学就是一次又一次的复读。不过也不用对此过分担心，只要不是以混日子的心态来求学，投入应有的精力和努力，就不会有什么问题，毕竟我们中华学子在学习能力上一向是出类拔萃的。
于我个人而言，我认为出国求学学习知识其实并不是重点，培养自立能力和增长阅历才是最主要的目的。对于中国传统教育方式来讲，虽然让我们在家长和老师的领导下最大限度地避免了走弯路，完美借鉴了前人的宝贵经验，从而有了学识上的优势，但是因为一直被引导，所以自主能力远逊于欧美地区这些早早就习惯自己拿主意的学生。因此，出国之后需要自力更生的我们，正好借此锻炼自己。此外，作为发达国家，再加上与我们不同的文化体系，欧美国家的生活有很多值得我们学习和借鉴的地方，。在体验新鲜感的同时，也让我们得到了宝贵的生活和学习经验，所谓的前车之鉴后事之师。眼界也会变的更开阔，思维也更加具有全局观，印证了莘莘学子们的信条“
简而言之，还是应了那句老话——只要功夫深，铁杵磨成针。成功的留学离不开不懈的努力。而且要记住，虽然背井离乡，但是作为中国学子你并不是孤独的，身边还有其他一同求学的同胞可以同舟并济，而且祖国永远是我们的坚实后盾。最后要说的是，身在他乡，不可忘本，更要明白自己作为留学生，一言一行是会代表祖国的，要勤奋自勉，为国争光，尽展华夏之风。
