These kids pay full tuition, so their money is welcome
Their government pays the tuition, not the "kids." The "kids," all 18+, all come to the U.S.A. THREE weeks after the beginning of the semesters. They can't understand why anyone would object.
And then, they get upset when instructors OBJECT to their waltzing into a FULL CLASS three weeks after the beginning of the semester demanding, oh so nicely, for a place in the FULL CLASS.
When asked, "Where were you at the beginning of the semester?" they look so shocked. "Well," they say, "our government just gave us the money."
Their governments KNOW exactly when our semesters begin. They just don't give a s**t because it's NOT IMPORTANT to them. As long as their own students get into OUR colleges, they are content, no matter how much havoc they wreak with their late entry into classes.
Their money may be welcome to you but I think they are just being manipulative, using US for their education when THEIR governments have PLENTY of money for what THEY want.
TSK!!!
After reading numerous books on higher education institutions and admission policies you have hit the target here spot on.Among many other books I have read , back in 2005 I read on tome entitled “ The Chosen”by Jerome Karabel.
I only bring up this book on this thread as it applies to the “ivies” which most foreign students want to have admission to those types of colleges. Ivies LOVE full payers. LOL
