I feel relieve about the fact that I don't have to study CSAT.
I'm finally going to university!
Things are little complicated and I can't be completely either happy or certain about entering the Kyemung university.
but it's better than any other alternatives.
I decided to go to Kyemung University because
It offers wide range of exchange student program to oversea
It offers scholarship.Most of economical support is provided by the university. They even provide the meal package for free.
Most of the class that I'll be attending will be done in English.
Kyemung university also have beautiful campus.It has often been the background of many Korean movies and dramas.
Korean version of Hana yori dango(liu xing hua yuan) has also flimed in Kyemung University.
One drawback the University has is that it is far away from my house
and the other is that it doesn't have high name-value in Korea.
Going to a university that is ranked below top10 means that lots of adversity and difficulty will awaits in one's life.
70% of Koreans go to university.
Unlike other nations such as France and Germane where only small portion of population goes to university,it really matters to people what university they are from.
All the universities are ranked distintively.
In practical points of view, it matters more because large number of population goes to university.
For example, in Japan, only 55% of people go to university while in USA only 40% do.
But in more practical points of view, it raises question wheather it is neccesary for such a large portion of people in Korea to go to university at all.I'm saying this because desire for higher education only foster more competition at the expense of more important values.
This kind of "hierchy system based on the education degree" is much more rigid than other countries.
Kinds of school that people came from greatly affects the not only choice of the job people have but also evaluation of people's ability after the work.
Some immature people directly look down on those from "bad" school and others become condenscending.
It's important factor that can't be denied when living in Korea.
This means that people who graduated the school with low name-value will have to suffer from prejudice and discrimination regardless of the real ability they have.
They have to work extra hard in order to success in thier work.
Many people nowadays points out that it is unfair. Yet, its like...long-lasted tradition in Korean society and its hard to change.
This also means that as Korean, I have to follow it no matter how much I dislike it.
That's what society want from me.
I believe that people will care less about such as the society gets more mature.
No matter how much I compain about unfairness of this practice, if I'm not from the top-notched university, people will just regard it as inferiorty-complex.I have to be on the top of the hierarchy in order to criticise it.
