Choosing a university or college With over 160 universities to choose from in the UK, and limitless courses and study options on offer, you can make your UK university experience as unique as you are. Understanding rankings Higher education institutions are ranked each year by a variety of organizations. The QS World University Rankings, for example, focuses heavily on research and reputation, but doesn’t include the quality of teaching or students’ views. THE World University Rankings and the Complete University Guide focus more on research strength and student satisfaction. The People and Planet University League even ranks UK universities on their environmental and ethical performance. How to apply—undergraduate (本科) 1. Register with UCAS First, go to the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) website where you can fill in your application form. Then write your personal statement. This is your chance to stand out from the crowd by explaining why you are interested in the course, the skills you have that make you suitable, and your life experiences and achievements. 2. Application deadlines There are four application deadlines throughout the school year: October—for courses at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, or for most courses in medicine 15 January— “on time” deadline for most undergraduate courses March—for some art and design courses 30 June—late deadline for most undergraduate courses. While you will be able to apply after the January deadline right up until 30 June, it is better to apply early. 3. Receive an offer UCAS will contact you with any offers from your chosen universities or colleges. If your offer is “unconditional”, you can relax. Some offers are conditional—usually this means you need to achieve certain results in your current studies or in English language tests. |

The park even employs the old-timey ticket system where you pay only for the rides that you want rather than a general admission price.
Kennywood
Kennywood began as a trolley(无轨电车)park, a place where guests were encouraged to visit trolley lines, even on the weekend when the services weren’t needed. These social gatherings involved picnics and various forms of entertainment. Several of the rides today are older than you and possibly even your grandparents.
Luna Park
Luna Park is the home of the Coney Island Cyclone, the greatest roller coaster(过山车)of the early 20th century. You can take a ride on the same roller coaster from the William Taft administration. While New Yorkers of a certain age know this place as Astroland, which operated from 1962 through 2008, the present name is fit for its heritage(遗产)and importance in theme park history.
Hersheypark
Hersheypark has a decided candy emphasis, but you’ll find more than just sweets here. Some of the attractions are very wonderful.
