Some universities,like Oxford and Cambridge in Britain,are residential,which means students live and study on campus.Other universities are non-residential,which means students have to spend a lot of time to travel daily to their lectures.//There are also part-time students who have to do their work during the day,and they study in the evening.Other part-time students have to study by correspondence.//”The Open Universities”can also help students to gain university degrees.Here,lectures are mainly given on radio or television.However,for a few weeks each year,students can attend vacation courses at universities.//For admission to any university degree course,a student has to pass qualifying examinations.In Britain,there are not enough places for asll secondary school students,so these qualifying examinations are highly competitive.//(2000,4)p147

　　英国有些大学，如牛津和剑桥提供学生住宿，这就是说学生在校园里学习和生活。其他一些学校则不提供住宿，也就是说学生每天要花不少时间到学校去听讲座。//还有一些利用业余时间学习的学生，他们白天必须工作，晚上学习。还有些业余学生则不得不通过函授学习。//“开放大学”也能帮助学生取得大学学位，大学主要通过广播或电视播出讲座。但是每年有几个星期，学生能在大学里参加假期班的学习。//要想攻读任何大学学位课程，学生必须通过入学资格考试。由于在英国没有足够的名额让所有中学生进入大学，因此，这些入学考试具有很强的竞争性。//
