There are two 985 universities in Guangzhou. The best 985 university is Sun Yat-sen University, followed by South China University of Technology. Because Sun Yat-sen University has a long history and cultural heritage, South China University of Technology was split from Sun Yat-sen University and built into another 985 university today. Therefore, I personally agree that Sun Yat-sen University is the best 985 university in Guangzhou. Secondly, according to the rankings of 2020QS, Alumni Association, Wu Shulian and Soft Science, Sun Yat-sen University ranks about 10 on average, and South China University of Technology ranks about 30 on average in the above rankings. Sun Yat-sen University&;s international popularity and social influence are more supported by data and more convincing and recognized. Sun Yat-sen University is a vice-ministerial 985 university, and its president and secretary are appointed by the central government and the State Council, while South China University of Technology is a main-level 985 university, and its president and secretary are appointed by the Ministry of Education and the party group of the Ministry of Education. From the political status and management authority, it can be seen that Sun Yat-sen University is superior. Finally, I personally think that Sun Yat-sen University and South China University of Technology are both key construction universities of the 985 Project, the 211 Project and the &”;Double First-class&”;, and they are in a superior geographical position. They should both be universities that contemporary outstanding students yearn for, and they are worthy of careful selection of newspapers by parents and students. Sun Yat-sen University is more competitive in the fields of humanities and social sciences and the construction of disciplines such as medicine, ecology and business administration, while South China University of Technology has advantages in engineering, computer software and food light industry. I would like to dedicate this article to the outstanding students and parents who are about to enter the college entrance examination. Choosing a suitable university is the first step towards success, so please grasp it well. Welcome interested friends to interact together.
