越是難進的大學畢業率越高？
在中國念大學，基本所有學生都能按時畢業。但去美國讀本科可不一樣，拿到錄取通知僅僅是入門，怎么適應美國大學的學習和生活，達到學校的要求按時畢業才是關鍵。
那么究竟美國大學的畢業率是多少呢？
網站College completion，專門統計每年全美國各大學的畢業率。據統計每年有總共1750萬大學生正在就學，但其大學生畢業率是發達國家中最低的。
《紐約時報》曾發表了一篇名為《中國難題》文章，指出有5%的中國學生在大一課程開始前，就已從語言課程中退學。
“?有一位在讀名校的留學生說：他在讀的工程專業，全美排名前五。從大二進入專業課開始，每年都淘汰40%的人。真正最后能畢業的不到20%。而其余專業不合格的80%的人，眼看著畢不了業，都想法轉?；蛘咿D專業 。”
學術能力是影響畢業的最大原因，我們拼命刷分考上大學，卻不知道在大學如何度過。
芝加哥一所私立大學校董曾向美國父母作一個調查：你是希望自己的孩子在耶魯抑郁還是在亞利桑那大學開心？結果，75%的家長寧愿他們的孩子在耶魯抑郁。因為他們覺得孩子可以慢慢平復情緒的困擾。而好大學、好專業才能有前景，犧牲快樂換取錢途，何樂而不為呢？
但是按這樣的心態報考大學，然后在大學里遇到的學習問題就當然不可避免。據調查，中國學生在國外最容易遭受退學的專業中，理工科與經濟商管成了重災區。這些專業是熱門專業，學術上要求會更加嚴格。一般來說，學生的期末成績和平均成績如果未達到學校的最低要求（本科生GPA 2.0，研究生GPA 3.0），學校會先進行“留校學術觀察”，給予學生一個學期的時間提高成績，擺脫黑名單。但如果一學期結束，再一次上榜，學校就會發出退學通知。學生們的學籍信息系統里，就會寫上：“Disqualified不合格”或者“Dismissed退學”。
除了課程難度，影響畢業的還有哪些因素呢?
學術誠實
美國大學對于抄襲是絕對“零容忍”，對于作業和考試要獨立完成。在美國的課堂里，一般情況下小伙伴們一起討論、寫作業都是不被允許的。主要的學術誠信問題分為這三類：
由哈佛大學的處理數據可以看出，國外大學對學術誠信問題相當重視，學校對于作弊行為，都保持著零容忍的態度，對于參與作弊的學生，學校會采取嚴厲的措施。
團隊合作
美國大學課程幾乎采取的是Teamwork、Groupwork的形式，這里需要培養團隊合作、溝通能力，對于中國學生來說，是比較大的挑戰。而且也會有組員之間的相互評分（Peer evaluation），評分計入總成績。
課堂積極
在課堂上要踴躍提出自己的想法，參與課堂討論，不能一味地逃避，中國學生要鍛煉自己的能力。課堂表現占據成績的一部分。U.S.News對于美國大學的4年畢業率進行了排名，果然越難進的學校畢業率越高。大家可以一起來看看，你的學校排在哪里呢？是不是榜上有名呢？
