【答案解析】[范文]

Every, choice means the possibility of gains or losses. It is also the case with the choice between a prestigious university and a favorite major. Surely, it is better to get both at the same time. But what decision will you make when you are not so lucky and that choice is necessary, just like the picture shows?
Many people prefer to choose a prestigious university. They put greater value on the academic atmosphere, the good reputation, well-knitted curricula and advanced teaching approaches, which they can enjoy in a prestigious university. Besides, they think they can achieve more by competing with their excellent peers. Furthermore, a prestigious university can help improve their ability in an all-round way.
But some people choose to study in a common university with a favorite major because they think their own interest, their special personality or their future career are more important. Moreover, by working hard, they still have chance to study in the postgraduate school of a prestigious university.
However, both have their disadvantages. The lack of interest in their major may make the students depressed, while the poor academic atmosphere of a common university can quench students" enthusiasm.
Supposing I have to make a choice, I claim that a school brand outweighs a major. For my part, a major, as knowledge, is not so important as the ability to acquire knowledge. Knowledge can become obsolete, while ability cannot. And a prestigious university can, more often than not, help improve a student in an all-round way. Furthermore, a graduate from such a university can always find himself protrusive and confident both psychologically and academically, so why not abandon the fish to fetch a bear"s palm?
