2 ?Admission method
Most of the school admission methods in the United States are open. In order to adapt to market demand, deepenthe popularization of higher education, university in the United Stateshas adopted a diversified and open source of student resources.The college not onlyincludes young high school students of the appropriate age, but also is open to the societyrecruiting non-full-time students, unfinished high school students, and young people with special talents, even students who have entered the school, such as special grade students. The system of American university is mutual recognition and it is quite flexible and developed, and students’different and diversified entry options are acceptable. Therefore, it is diversifiedand multiple schools can be applied by students at the same time. Students can make their own choices depending on their hobbiesanddevelopment needs.
3 ?Student management
In terms of student management, American universities do not have class teachers and full-timestudent counselors. Students’ life and study at school are all completed independently. Theassistants do not provide students with any services in learning and living. After the students enter the school, the individual selects and formulates his or her own curriculum according to the professional credit requirements and the general lectures provided by the school, including the course category, teaching time, and weekly hours.In terms of campus culture, American universities also demonstrate their unique independence and freedom. The school provides students with a variety of free sports venues, fitness and recreation facilities. Students can choose their favorite sports style to exercise and relax according to their own time schedule. The school also has a variety of funds and associations, as long as the application submitted by the student representative can indicate that the meaning of the activity is to enhance the communication between the students, to explore and motivate the students’activities.
4 ?Evaluation system
On the other hand, American university curriculum assessments include many forms and methods, such asclassroom participation scores, assignment completion scores, chapter test scores, classroom test scores, mid-term exam scores. Most importantly, final exam scores will not exceed 30% of the total score. Class participation means that students answer questions on their own initiative, and it is much more relying on the students’self-learning. There will be no university exams like China. That is to say, the assessment forms in American higher education are diversified, and it is more important to supervise and test the students’ learning situation. The rich assessment methods help to promote the development of students’ independent and innovative thinking.

It is possible to give better advice to Chinese college students’ innovative ability training system. Anyway, university is so important a place to build students’ critical thinking and cultivate students’ innovative ability.
