In the minds of the majority of netizens, if the university name is preceded by the words "China", "Central", " Central South ", "Southeast" and other words, it is a very good university. For example, Renmin University of China , China Agricultural University , Central University of Finance and Economics , Central South University , Southeast University , etc. Or those with regional names, such as Huazhong University of Science and Technology , Northeastern University , South China University of Technology , etc., either 985, 211, or double first-class , with a halo, reputation and strength, which are not without concessions. The vast majority of candidates are fascinated and admired.
There are usually exceptions. For example, we are going to talk about Donghua University , Xihua University , Nanhua University, Beihua University (the only one missing is Zhonghua University). They are not as prestigious as the above-mentioned universities. , it is not as unattainable as everyone imagines, but it actually uses the name of the region. These four institutions are located in Shanghai in the east of my country, Chengdu in the west, Hengyang in the south, and Jilin in the north. They represent a certain degree of regionality. However, in the current layout of Chinese universities, they are not very recognizable, and many people cannot tell them apart. Who is who. Let’s do an analysis of these four schools to see who is better.
1 Donghua University
Donghua University is a 211 university directly under the Ministry of Education. It was formerly China Textile University . It is a science and engineering college featuring textiles and clothing and multi-professional development. It is located in Shanghai and is the only ranking recognized by the Ministry of Education. It ranks around 100 in the world in science and engineering.
In the 2022 ranking of Ruanke University, the school ranks 80th. Compared with 2020 and 2021, the ranking has not changed much.
The school’s trump card majors are textiles, materials and other disciplines. In the fourth round of subject evaluation by the Ministry of Education, Textile Science and Engineering was rated A+, ranking first in the country and showing strong strength. Ten disciplines including materials science and engineering and mechanical engineering were rated as Category B. Judging from the subject evaluation results, Donghua University is a 211 level institution.
As for why the once number one school in China's textile industry changed its name to Donghua University, the reason is probably related to the selection of 11 colleges at that time. The downturn in the textile industry has affected school enrollment and employment, and leaders are determined to remove the word "textile".
2 University of Nanhua
University of Nanhua is a key university in Hunan Province. Its major majors are nuclear-related majors and it has many cooperations with related enterprises. There are two copies of the source of students. There are a wide variety of subjects, with hundreds of majors.
In the fourth round of subject evaluation by the Ministry of Education, the University of Nanhua participated in 7 disciplines, of which Nuclear Science and Technology was rated B-, and 6 disciplines including Safety Science and Engineering, Basic Medicine , and Mining Engineering were rated C. kind.
The school has one of the national defense supporting disciplines: molecular chemistry and molecular biology .
There are 3 national defense specialty disciplines: nuclear safety and nuclear emergency technology, nuclear fuel cycle, uranium ore smelting biotechnology.
In the 2022 Ranking of Soft Science Universities, the University of Nanhua ranks 198th. Compared with 2020 and 2021, the ranking has not changed much.
The predecessor of the University of South China is the "Hengyang Institute of Mining and Metallurgy Engineering". It was separated from the Central South Institute of Mining and Metallurgy in the 1950s and was specifically responsible for finding uranium ore for the country. At that time, the Sixth Research Institute of China Nuclear Industry (Uranium Mining Research Institute of the Ministry of Nuclear Industry) was also in the school, so it was affiliated to the Second Ministry of Industrial Machinery and the Ministry of Nuclear Industry, and was a well-known ministry-affiliated institution. In the 1950s, he made outstanding contributions to ", two bombs and one star ".
3 Xihua University
Xihua University is located in Chengdu, Sichuan Province and is a provincial key university. Formerly known as Sichuan Agricultural Machinery College, it was founded in 1960. It was one of the comprehensive agricultural machinery colleges established by the state to realize agricultural mechanization in seven major regions across the country at that time.In 1972, due to some specific reasons at the time, Beijing Agricultural Machinery moved to Chongqing and established Sichuan Agricultural Machinery College (Chongqing). In order to distinguish it from Beijing (Chongqing) Agricultural Machinery, Sichuan Agricultural Machinery changed its name to Chengdu Agricultural Machinery, and later it was renamed Sichuan Agricultural Machinery. was renamed Sichuan Institute of Technology in 1983 and is a key provincial university in Sichuan Province.
In the fourth round of subject evaluation by the Ministry of Education, Xihua University participated in a total of 7 disciplines, among which Marxist Theory was rated C+, the best evaluation result. Power engineering and engineering thermophysics , food science and engineering were rated C, and mechanical engineering, computer science and technology, software engineering, etc. were rated C-.
Judging from the evaluation results, the shadow of agricultural machinery from the past can be vaguely seen in Xihua University. The school's engineering attributes are still very obvious, but the development momentum in recent years does not seem to be very rapid, which makes people a little anxious.
In the 2022 Random University Rankings, Xihua University ranked 280th. Compared with 2020 and 2021, the ranking has not fluctuated much and is showing a downward trend.
4 Beihua University
Beihua is located in Jilin City, Jilin Province. It is a provincial key university and recruits students from both the first and second courses. In the fourth round of discipline evaluation by the Ministry of Education, Beihua University has 4 disciplines participating in the evaluation, all of which are Category C, including forestry , Marxist theory, landscape architecture, forestry engineering .
In the 2022 Random University Rankings, Beihua University ranked 303rd. Compared with 2020 and 2021, the ranking has not fluctuated much.
Summary:
From the comparison of the data of the four colleges, Donghua University is one level higher than the other three colleges, followed by Nanhua University, Xihua University and Beihua University are indistinguishable.
Beihua University, Nanhua University, Donghua University, Xihua University, the four are not related, they just happen to have four Hua.
The four have different geographical locations, so their comparability is certainly different.
Beihua University is in Jilin;
Nanhua University is in Hunan;
Donghua University is in Shanghai;
Xihua University is in Sichuan.
have each led the way for hundreds of years, and it is impossible to say which one is more important.
If you have to say it, you have to choose a standard, otherwise, it is impossible to compare.
Finally, I summed it up with four sentences from the official website: The splendid Donghua spreads the fragrance of textiles; the capital of Bashu is the glory of the times; the banks of Sanxiang are the essence of science and education; the flowers of the Northern Kingdom show the wind of a hundred years.
If it were your choice, which of these four universities would you rather choose?
