What are the traditional characteristics of American universities?

The most important characteristic of American universities is that they practice generalist education and allow students to develop freely, which is the most basic requirement of education. University education is not just about the education of a particular skill, but also about giving students a broad perspective, which is one of the obvious differences between American and Chinese education. The core courses required of everyone in college include a lot of literature, history, and philosophy, so American college students are eloquent, and there is no shortage of eloquent speakers at common campus gatherings. However, when it comes to the basics of science and technology, such as math, physics, chemistry, those who will not go to graduate school in the United States are generally worse than Chinese college students, because American college students in high school will not spend a lot of time to do a lot of exercises, and would rather go to enjoy nature.
