I read for my banchlar's degree in Shandong university, and my undergraduation ceremony was held in a big hall. While I received my master's degree in a big hall in Harbin three years later. However, I saw many foreign universities' graduation ceremony was held outdoors. And so many parents came to the campas to take part in their child's graduation ceremony. Where was your graduation ceremony held? Which way do you prefer, why?

An interesting fact about my graduation ceremony. It was supposed to be outdoors, in a nice field, wide open spaces. Unfortunately, as the weather so often does, it steps it and really messes up the best laid plans of everything. So the graduation ceremony was moved right into the gym, which was cramped and it had limited seating all things considered, not all that good. Still was an experience, but it might have been better outside.
I think really though it did not matter in the end to me, but I think that it would have been a lot less panicked had it been outside. Still I'm going to get my diploma either way, so really its all good and all of that. I really have no preference for indoors or outdoors. Outdoors would have been a nice experience, but really in the end, with a few changes, it is the same result and I get the culmination of hard study.
