语法对吗：Some universites,recently,often prefer to provide vocational skills to their students.

prefer to 是对的，我们经常会说 I prefer to stay at home
除了楼上说的provide的用法外，应该说大体上语法没有什么问题。
不过最好把recently放到句子前面，要不读起来很别扭。
often用来修饰prefer确实有点怪怪的感觉，要不删掉，要不就使用more often放在句子的最后。

0错误的,prefer to中 to是介词后面要加ING....
Some universites, recently, often prefer to providing vocational training to their students

没有provide sth to sb,要用provide sb with sth,或者provide sth for sb,还有often 用得比较不地道,建议删去.
希望对你有帮助.

可以这样说

对
