Wait until the Feds fix colleges. That will make it all better.
My niece just came home from Cambridge. Many of the students are Chinese.
We actually have had fewer international students the past few years than before. And most of those are from South America and Russia/Belarus.
Except for the graduate school—I teach undergrads, so that’s what I see.
Foreign students are more lucrative. Its that simple.
I’m sure the Chinese love sending students here, no other place outside of China can they learn how to be a good communist.
And the GOP and the Dems want to attach green cards to their diplomas. With 20 million Americans unemployed or underemployed, this makes no sense.
schoosl ?.........
My works at the office at a local college that supports the international students. They actually have full time employees in China, Mongolia, and a few other countries scouting out students.
This year there are a LOT of chinese. We’ve had them over to our farm for picnics.
RE: Chinese students make up for declining American enrollment at U.S. colleges?
Anecdotal evidence in the STEM courses in many colleges here in the NYC and surrounding areas show this to be quite TRUE.
There is a DISPROPORTIONATE Asian (Chinese especially) representation in the STEM majors where I live.
So why don’t we use the UK model and have foreign students subsidize American students.
Chinese parents send their over here en masse to go to our colleges, but they won’t have a damned thing to do with our high schools. Probably because high schools here, especially the suburban ones, are mostly about sports and clubs and if some actual learning or skill building happens it’s a bonus. I’m pretty sure Chinese parents aren’t quaking in fear at the thought of their kids competing with yours on grades.
Just another technology grab. We seem determined to train our competition not only militarily but also industrial technology items.
They probably also pay only resident prices meanwhile other Americans from outside states pay through the nose.
Everything against the actual American in America. We are a stupid people regarding our leaders IMO.
Why not?
Apparently our young people are only meant to serve as cannon fodder in the military’s foreign ‘adventures’ for the financial benefit of our leaders...
They don’t have to come here. Distance learning is booming with Chinese virtual students subsidizing tuition in these days of diminished job opportunities here in the US. Basically, they are outsourcing their education to low-cost providers in the US.
The American taxpayer... What a sucker, paying to educate our enemies how best to kill us. Not to mention that by filling up the seats of our best universities with foreigners, we are depriving our kids of those slots. Oh wait, is it we who are depriving our children, or the Chinese? Put it this way, the Chinese know exactly what they are doing to us by hogging those seats.
Yes and yes.
And the students are eager to come. The prevailing attitude amongst thinking ChiComs is “why would anyone with a brain want to stay in this country?”
