4 The system of higher education in the US is rather competitive,
and it becomes extremely selective the higher the level of education. A
lot of individuals seek admission to world-known private universities,
although they must pay a high fee even to apply for admission. The most
prestigious universities are the oldest private universities like Harvard
(founded in 1636), Yale (1701), Princeton (1746), Pennsylvania (1740),
and some others. Academic standards are also very high; the most famous
professors teach at them, and the wealthiest students attend them. The
quality of education is always better, and an “Ivy League” University
diploma gives much better career opportunities. So, it's worth all the
money that goes into it. Americans believe that the more schooling you
have the more money you will earn when you leave school.
5 State universities, unlike private colleges are partly subsidized by
state governments, so the tuition is lower. Of course, the professors won't
be so famous, or the students so rich. Young people usually go to the
university in the state they live, for they have to pay less in their own state
and don't have to compete, because some public colleges and universities
accept nearly all applicants. However, many state-supported universities
have very good reputations, and the best of them, like the University of
California at Berkeley, or State University of New York (SUNY) are
rather competitive, and have many students from other states and countrie
6 The academic year in all types of educational institutions is
divided into two terms, or semesters (unlike British universities that have
three terms) - fall and spring semesters. Upon term completion students
break up for holidays (university students have vacations)
