OHIO - CHINESE students are enrolling in US universities in record
numbers, encouraged by aggressive recruiting combined with China's
booming economy and growing middle class.
Their enrollment grew by 8 per cent in the fall of 2006 and by 20 per
cent last year, according to Institute of International Education
figures released on Monday.
Individual universities surveyed by wires agencies also are reporting
high growth this year.
Chinese enrollment increased 300 per cent this year at Lehigh
University in Pennsylvania. George Fox University in Newberg, Oregon,
accepted 65 students from China, more than double its 2007 figure.
Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, already boasting a
strong international student program, is enrolling 290 Chinese
students, up from 127.
The spike was more than 400 per cent at Ohio State University, the
nation's largest campus, with 115 undergraduates from China compared
with 20 last year.
Ms Xiaoli Liu, an Ohio State freshman from Beijing, said Chinese
universities offer solid academics but can't compete with the overall
experience of an American college, including more opportunities for
out-of-class activities, an open learning environment and diversity.
'In China you can seldom find people from the US, but in the US you
find people from all over the world,' Ms Xiaoli said.
The influx is part of a solid and welcomed rebound in the number of
international students coming to the United States, with its giant
pool of 4,000 colleges and universities.
Numbers of international students had dropped alarmingly due to
competition from other countries and tighter visa procedures after the
September 2001 terrorist attacks.
But the latest report from the Institute of International Education
finds 7 per cent more students at US universities than a year ago, at
an all-time high of 624,000.
India again sent the most students, followed by China and South Korea.
Enrollment from Saudi Arabia jumped 25 per cent, putting the country
back into the top 10 for the first time since 1982, thanks to a new
Saudi government scholarship programme.
A snapshot survey the institute did of campuses this fall found that
55 per cent reported increases in students from China, the most from
any country.
'The misperceptions have finally been laid to rest - that it's
impossible to get a visa,' said Ms Peggy Blumenthal, the institute's
chief operating officer.
Students choosing schools 'are looking strictly at academic issues,
because there's no reason to believe they'll have any more trouble
getting to the States than getting to Australia.' Kansas State
enrolled 199 Chinese undergraduates, up from 65 last fall.
'There is a whole emerging middle class of Chinese, well over 300
million, many of them with one-child families who are interested in
sending their son or daughter abroad with higher educational
experience,' said Mr Duane Nellis, provost of Kansas State
University.
'We're trying to capitalise on that and also enrich our campus
community.' International students and their families contribute more
than US$15 billion annually to the US economy, according to a separate
survey by NAFSA, the Association of International Educators, also
released on Monday.
And they typically pay higher out-of-state tuition, so they're an
important revenue source for colleges at a time when the supply of
college-age American students is beginning to crest.
Out-of-state students pay an average US$515 more per credit hour at
Michigan State University, where the number of new undergraduate
Chinese students soared from 95 last year to 327 this year.
Universities also like the international students' cosmopolitan
flair.
'We're thrilled about the cultural benefits, the educational benefits
it brings to our resident students,' said Mr Mike Brzezinski, Purdue's
associate dean of international programmes.
'It gives them a study abroad experience right here on campus.'
The number of Americans studying abroad is also at a record high, the
Institute of International Education reports, increasing 8 per cent to
242,000 in 2006-2007 - according to the latest year figures
available.
Students continued the trend toward more untraditional destinations,
with increases of more than 20 per cent each to China, Argentina,
South Africa, Ecuador and India.
Next year's increases may slow as a reflection of the struggling
economy and weak dollar, but Blumenthal says US colleges are committed
to study abroad and keeping it no less expensive than college in the
United States.
The number of new Chinese students still represents a fraction of
overall enrollment: just 2 per cent of the Ohio State freshman class,
for example. They must meet the same entrance requirements as anyone
else, including passing an English-language test.
Ms Siyi Chen, a freshman from Changsha in China's central Hunan
province planning to study finance, was especially impressed by Ohio
State's array of 32 libraries.
But like Ms Xiaoli, she has no interest in staying on after
graduation.
'I probably will go back to China to work there and find more
opportunity there,' she said.
'I didn't know any reason for me to stay here than staying with my
family. That's more important.' --- AP Higher Education Writer Justin

The truth is:
Yung Wing graduated from Yale in 1854.
When Harvard University admitted it's first black student, the Whites
threatened to withdraw all their students from Harvard. The President
of Harvard said.
"Then all the education goes to this student".
There was an old saying on the University of California campuses;
"When you walk into a class and see a lot of Asians students, the
grades will be high. Change to another class."
My son graduated from UCLA. He learned to use chopsticks and speak
some Chiinese from other Chinese students.

Why, Rusty Old Fool? Because it's politically incorrect? Many truths
are politically incorrect, and a class of Blacks having a low standard
is one of them! Just ask RAK.

Obviously you are not even qualified to go to a third class U, or you

Don't even need to ask RAK at all. Truth is truth. U walk into a
class, u see blacks, u know u are not going to learn anything there.
Blacks are disruptive. It's in their blood. Even in Master Degree
classes, they are disruptive.
U would think that those blacks who have the capacity to study in
master degree program would be different, right? Answer is sadly NO!
They are as disruptive as those black kids on the street.
We go to classes wanting to learn something. They go to class trying
their best to make everyone suffer.
Don't even know why the hell those blacks going to U for. Not only
waste their own time, they are wasting the time of other students as
well.
Of course, that Rusty Old Fool doesn't know anything. He's just like
the blackies ... wasting his life and wasting other people's lives.
