Students from China add $5b to US economy

[Wildfire]

While Singapore's top universities paid Chinese students to enroll, the US institutions of higher learning are
charging them 2 to 3 times higher then locals. Despite the high enrollment and annual tuition fees, Chinese
students are flocking to the US in drove contributing more than US$ 5 billions to US economy in 2011/12
academic year.

Research from the World Education Services in 2012 found that nearly 60 percent of US-bound Chinese
respondents were indexed high in terms of financial resources, as compared to the overall average of 49
percent for other international students.

Why, despite our huge financial incentives, our education economy sector consistently failed not only to attract
the best and brightest but also to make a dent in the oversea Chinese students market:*:

Good for the USA

They want to go to the US so they are willing to pay whereas in the case of Sinkiepoor we have to induce them to come. Most of the best will go to the US and other places and the rejects will come here.

The smarter ones will study here for free then move over to US.

 

[The Philistine]

It goes to show that the US government is smarter than the trash in white. Despite being charged two to three times higher than what US citizens are paying, the Chinese still flock to the States to study. The trash in white pay them and give them incentives but how many top Chinese students have they attracted? This place is looking like Desker Road every moment; it attracts only dregs.
