Correction: Universities don't 'need' more money - they want more money. They've become businesses, and in doing so - and turning a blind eye to language requirements has reduced the prestige their degree certificates. This is going to have a lasting negative impact for everyone involved.

[@sinoroman]

some fellow college students: they don't even know english, or can't speak it correctly, so it makes no sense

[@beautanner8409]

@EastWindBreaks Yes, every institution "needs money" - I think this is a case of them wanting money hand-over-fist, at the cost of watering down the quality of the educational experience they provide, and the graduates they generate.

[@beautanner8409]

@EastWindBreaks I can't speak for the U.S., but from the Canadian perspective, unfortunately they are not necessarily having a net-positive impact. The wealthy students' money tends to displace locals needing a place to live. We're in a housing crisis like we've never seen before (not solely due to students, but it's part of it). Local people cannot compete. The money they spend on cars and brand name clothing tends to be concentrated in the luxury goods markets, strengthening that sector, but doing little for more fundamental sectors in the region. And, as I've learned recently, even though they pay our medical insurance fees, as we all do, it turns out we're still subsidizing them with our taxes. This trickle down effect from university students isn't so great, if it exists at all. I'm not saying we should end all international programs, just be much much more selective - profits be damned. Finally, I was just speaking with a Chinese colleague who was telling me - most of the wealthy students don't need jobs anyway... they just end up running their parents' company, or if they're too incompetent, own real estate that serves as a cash cow. Not a good situation all round.

There are two types of Chinese students who go over seas. 1) Not good enough academically to get into uni in China. So they get sent overseas to get a degree at some easy-to-get-into-uni. 2) Academically excellent student who want the best education, and most of the top unis are in the US. Neither group are necessarily rich. Though the rich ones, are what you hear about. For others, sometimes families would get together, and borrow money from uncles and aunts just to send a student oversea. That's how much the Chinese value education.

European countries with govt subsidies like Germany is fairly cheap. 15000 Eur is more than enough for a student at public school/uni a year. 8-9000 is just enough if you live frugally. Its not that cheap, but not astronomical like English-speaking countries either. German Embassy mandates that a minimum of 10.236 EUR is necessary to apply for studium visa from 1st Sep.

In China, you have to work extremely hard to get a good education, or you may be doomed to menial work for the rest of your life.

In my university, when I communicate with them, I realize communication in English for some mainland Chinese students is still a huge struggle.

I just graduated architecture school in LA. Even my school has Chinese international students more than half. They speak in their native language in the school and gathered together all the time.

We need to mention the increasing privatization of the public schools, high schools and universities. There is a lot less opportunity and support for the local (and not local) students from the low social classes, because of the dropping rate of the government-sponsored scholarship and the increasing tuition fee. Not the mention the increasing rent and real estate prices and the gentrification.

This is common to human nature. Human beings do it. Westerners live exactly the same way in Africa (gated compounds, exclusive social gatherings) - they don't interact with the locals. The only ones that do are missionaries, researchers/graduate students and eccentrics. (Think about the "Green Zone" in Iraq and the fortress like embassies US diplomats tend to hide inside of in much of the developing world). I had the same experience as a student in the UK, it was a lot better and a lot less complicated to interact with fellow Africans (The British tend to like to keep to themselves). Can anything be done to change this? I'm not sure - you can't pay the humongous amounts these students pay for tuition and be "compelled to change your behavior".

"There was a color pattern in the huge crowds. Once I happened to notice this, I closely observed it thereafter. Being from America made me intensely sensitive to matters of color. I saw that people who looked alike drew together and most of the time stayed together. This was entirely voluntary; there being no other reason for it. But Africans were with Africans. Pakistanis were with Pakistanis. And so on. I tucked it into my mind that when I returned home I would tell Americans this observation; that where true brotherhood existed among all colors, where no one felt segregated, where there was no “superiority” complex, no “inferiority” complex-then voluntarily, naturally, people of the same kind felt drawn together by that which they had in common." -an interesting passage from Malcolm X autobiography

Photo ops create the impression that there's a whole lot of interaction, but those of us who live in Africa know that it is not true. For example, when I went to visit the DFID office in Enugu, Nigeria, I had to pass through as much security checks as probably the "Green Zone" in Baghdad. DFID workers don't interact that much with ordinary Nigerians in the course of working - and they probably have zero interaction with ordinary Nigerians in their social life.

As a Chinese international alumni from this university, I want to point out a few things: 1. The major reasons preventing Chinese students interacting with domestic students include: difficulty of Chinese students in communicating in English, especially informal English and English speaking, the lack of tendency to interact with less familiar people or to explore novel things in Eastern Asian culture, and the subtle racism from some domestic students. 2. I was one of the co-founder of the first student organization for international students in the physics department of the university, and I am the only Chinese international student who actively engaged in student organizations in the department (at the time I was in the university). Most Chinese students either only talked to me in Chinese or did not talk at all in those events held by student organizations. And there were definitely some subtle racism. Come on, it is a public university in the Midwest. Also, there were some weird people with weird behavior. But there were also an equal number of, if not more, amazingly good people. 3. I suggest international students spending more time getting to know every part of the university and interacting with domestic students as much as possible when studying abroad. I used to have a walk around the quad at the center of the campus every day. Watching this video just reminds me so much pleasant memories.

[@daisuke910]

I think it applies to every international student. They tend to be in their own similar background group due to sense familiarity. Something in common to break the ice in a foreign land. It requires time for them to adapt and break out of their cocoon. Plus it can be intimidated to most to converse in non-native language, adults don't like to be judge and first impression is everything. Also, different culture. People in the UK like to go to pub for socialising and drinking a lot! Asian people prefer socialising over food lol.

[@mr.coconut2310]

Thanks for your perspective! I think the ost relevant bit is this part "difficulty of Chinese students in communicating in English" the frustrating thing bout uni's is that they're more than happy to take in the international students, but they have no checks to ensure that they can even survive/assimilate in an English speaking culture. These uni's should atleast prep these students to be able to have a decent convo. But they look at these foreign students as cash cows

[@dfodfo2666]

@@KB-jz1nq Example 1: pretending to accidentally hit a stranger who is an international student without saying sorry or any explanation. The "accident" is quite obviously intentional, even if it is not, the person should at least say sorry. Example 2: On an event, locals are happily focusing on talking about topics and using slangs only locals can understand. The international students are clearly confused, silent and left out, but nobody cares as if the international students just do not exist in the room. And, the purported topic of the event is quite formal and has little to do with local customs, such as a discussion about how to do research as an undergraduate. I think it is very cool that you are interested in communicating with international students. As long as one has a good intention and uses language that is easy for them to understand, there is not much to worry about.

Universities and immigration departments demand a certain level of language to be considered for entry (and in Europe, it's quite high).

I am going to college right now. It is absolutely a business. My professors have talked about the next recession and the school has a plan in place. In the future, new students will be FORCED to go learn abroad because it is more profitable this way. I firmly believe that the best thing we can do for higher education is to cut funding and restrict how schools generate money. Our universities should be for Americans and do what needs to be done: to teach. I suggest you look at universities in your area and see how much is spent on activities that enrich a student's school culture experience. A lot of money goes into places where they try to make the college experience a fun one so when that student graduates they are more likely to donate annually. The last recession completely changed the college landscape. The next one will do the same. My school is making freshman and sophomore students live in campus. If you are a freshman then you cannot have a parking pass. I hear many stories around the nation and will only get worse.

Imagine you are a German or Australian student who studies in Japan, and maybe you will do the same as the video demonstrates. In fact, most Chinese universities have a lot of Uygur or Tibetan students cuz the state's policy requires, and as far as I can tell they are also much more likely to hang out with fellas who come from the same ethnic group, even though they are Chinese citizens and they can speak Chinese pretty well.

Just remember (UK uni students) that ‘student loans’ are NOT LOANS- they’re a ‘graduate tax’. This means, if you earn over £26k then you pay a ‘tax’ which goes towards paying off your ‘loans’. Only the income you earn over £26k gets used to pay the ‘tax’. It’s basically like the uni saying “Hey! We see you’re earning over the average UK wage there- I think we contributed to that fact so we’re just asking for a little bit of money in return, since we helped you earn that much!”

Just want to point out this is happening in some non-western countries too, albeit for reasons different to the US/UK/AU. I live in Japan which is undergoing a dramatic decline in youth population. As a result the universities have become increasingly dependent on Chinese students. I suspect the situation is similar in Germany.

[@christopherjared1277]

This shows the story from a Chinese perspective... not from a western perspective. From a western perspective, whenever a country develops, that country has a shortage both of university seats, and quality. The happened in Hong Kong in the 80s until they expanded and built more seats. At one time Singaporeans travelled to the west for education. And a long time ago Canadians and Americans travelled back to England, spawning the need to found Harvard. Yes, China is large, but they are only the most recently developed middle class. As Chinese universities catch up with their domestic need for seats and quality, fewer Chinese will go to the west for education. But, another country or two will have developed a middle class and the same process will repeat again. This is already occurring with some faculties having more Indians than Chinese....

I agree with the first reply. Most international students (majority of whom are Chinese) in my university cheat, plagiarism or pay people to complete assignments and exams. Now my school does have a strict policy for academic integrity using the MOSS programs to detect copying code and other various methods to tackle this issue. However, this is all up to the lecturer or professor. Now, this also creates a problem because these students are artificially inflating the average grade in the class, typically known as the curve. This encourages other students to do the same in order to keep their grades as high as possible.

But this counts for france students as well ^^ They speak even worse english ^^

[@rh5340]

ok, generally speaking, I believe cultural barrier is probably a much more significant factor. The Chinese society, in general, is very homogenous, isolated and different from other societies. Overseas Chinese really have a difficult time to fit into the local culture, especially at the interpersonal level. remember this, 80 percent of the Chinese were living under absolute poverty 40 years ago, so for every family, and in their everyday life, truly understanding the western society and the values, and interacting with westerners is a very very recent and on-going phenomena. In the classroom, that is totally another issue, the norm of a traditional Chinese classroom is entirely built upon restrictions and hierarchy. Chinese students are used to being silent and passively accepting what the teachers say. Chinese students in general feel very lonely in western countries because of the significant cultural differences. When they have a large Chinese cohort surrounding them, they usually don't have to interact with the people outside the Chinese community.

[@DongsMBM]

as someone who moved from china to the UK when I was 15, I envy and jealous of what your school did, and thankful at the same time. Us chinese never wanted to not join conversations and interact with the locals. I will take myself as an example. As a 15 years old that joined the school in the uk from a completely different culture that values everything differently. I tried very hard to interact with school mates, just to realised we had completely different lives. I dont know what the other kids do everyday, I dont know what they play everyday, I dont understand there jokes, I dont speak in the same style because of different ways of thinking, I dont know what songs they were listening, I dont like football and its never really a big thing in china, but its a shock to the locals that if you dont know much about football at all. I dont know what TVs they are watching, I dont like the local foods, I dont see things from the same view point as the locals, and so much more. We can go on and on about all the different things, it will never end. So, after realising these diferences, I resulted to getting on the internet and tried to learn everything about it, but as you might expected, its a very perverted way to learn everyday lives through the internet, which ends up in me seemingly as a weirdo sometimes, and coupling with the language barrier, the result didnt end in good ways. and the constant bullying in the school because I'm different from them didnt help either. Seeing your school is making such effort really warms me and I appriciate so much that the school even considered to making such moves. Any help could go a long way to help breaking the barrier and could help us all understand each other more. As for the video matter that chinese students in universities dont interact with the locals. The same difficulty still exsists, but instead they are young adults, having there own world view, there own life style and the way of thinking. its really hard to change when you are grown out of teenhood. So when they are seeing what they are facing with, its not hard to understand why they dont bother with the locals most of the times

[@e.deborah7256]

@Step 4head Hold up! I'd like you to clarify what you just stated. Are you saying that because International students don't pay taxes, the colleges are right to charge them more for tuition? If that's what you mean then you really don't know what you're talking about. I'm an international student and I pay taxes every year. In the US there are no VAT returns so I still pay the same price. The next thing I know is that when I get to school at the start of the semester, I end up paying 10 times more for tuition compared to the in state resident. That same resident is also gonna get financial aid to pay for their textbooks as well and even school supplies from the college bookstore. When they get their books, they buy all the recommended and optional books as well. What do you think the total comes to for them? Almost no cost. Me on the other hand? I'm not even going to a four year college and I feel terrible. Okay the tuition I can understand. VAT? Maybe. Because we're in the States not the UK. Books??? I don't even buy all the books and I spend $2000 for 6 books for 5 courses (Half if which I don't end up using but can't return yet because the professor says not to). Not including lab materials and school supplies. Oh and fun fact, I have to take extra classes compared to the regular student so that I keep my Visa valid. The minimum number of credits the international student must take is 12. Compare that to the 9 credit per semester classes that the regular student who doesn't have a major yet can take. And if you think one extra class is nothing, think again. Because on top of all that I still have to make time to get a job to keep up with living expenses 😒. Now the whole purpose of going to college is to get a degree to get a job. To get that degree you need to do well on tests and exams. To do well on tests and exams you've gotta study. To study you need to have time to study. Where's the time? By the way, note that I haven't even gotten to joining an actual program for said desired degree. The above commentary has just been on taking core classes. The $2000 was just for books and I didn't add the $5000 for tuition and the $1000 for mandatory insurance. The combined total comes to approximately $8000 for one semester of core classes at a two year college. So how about a four year college? Multiply the aforementioned total times 5 and you've got a nice fortune going on there. Am I rich? Nope. Family rolling in millions? Nah. I'm middle class at best. So if richer international students are flashing their designer stuff around I won't bloody blame them for it. Because I sure as hell would do the same if I was in their position. Why? They get the privilege to do that if their parent's money isn't going down the drain on their education. These same rich kids are still getting the As and 4.0s and the reward for their hard work is the extra allowance. The 'rents are happy, the child is happy. A win-win in that situation. The average middle-class international student? They don't get that privilege. The 'rents are actually struggling to get that tuition so the student tries to make up the living cost by working part-time legally in the foreign country. Whew.. I gotta end this comment quick. All in all it's still shitty. So much of my aloofness and disdain when associating with other students (both fellow international and regular citizens) is not because I feel better than them or anything like that. It's more like I'm tired and to bothered with other important things to try socializing with you; because at the end of the day you all would want to head to the nearest bar/restaurant and I need to pay my rent and bills. My relationship with my classmates are limited to the college campus - classrooms and libraries and that's it. I don't think I need to explain more. If I misunderstood you then I apologise and we're all good. Still I had to make this comment.

Expat communities all over do this. So, this video is like that.

[@SilvanaDil]

Actually, Chinese students are a rather small portion of students in American universities. Australia, Canada and the UK chase after Chinese money much more than the U.S. does. Besides, almost all American top schools are private, not public/state.

[@zennoix9984]

Ever since the beginning of the US-China trade war, many people are starting to get pissed off because their nation's companies and universities are always loyal to their Chinese market for profit. The situation in HK now only fuels their hatred towards the companies.

[@purpleglamour9089]

Yep. Atm things are not good with china. Especially after covid

[@麒麟-x3q]

most Chinese student have the environment to stay together during school but after school is finish. If they start working then you will meet some of them and will interaction with you. But early in school life they will stay together and finish school first. In most cases they will all have to finish school. If they find job in local them they will eventually be ineraction with people.

Their English proficiency isn’t even past Primary school levels and yet they’re getting the same tertiary level qualification

[@Trgn]

So what if they cant speak well. They are more proficient in basic academic, logical thinking, analysis and written English than the average locals who cant even spell and pass high schools.

[@user-zk5lj5uu1u]

Tr I’ve seen it firsthand and I agree. It’s understandable that they are shy and reluctant to be judged for their conversational English (just look at the prejudice in the comments; I’d be self-conscious myself). But if the quality of their written work is good enough for their subject choice, then I don’t see where the issue lies. Of course, it might pose a problem for certain essay-based subjects which demand extremely high levels of written proficiency (English Lang-Lit comes to mind, as well as history, law, Classics, and to a certain extent philosophy, etc). In the case of other disciplines, they just need to ensure that they double-check their spelling and grammar.

[@lexixia7498]

Just see so many people being jealous here. Yes, we Chinese kids are rich that can pay $50000 tuition per year, buy fancy cars, dine at fine dining, and travel overseas. And yet we are smart, we are good at math, engineering, business, science. Why are you afraid of us "stealing" your jobs if you are very good? Don't you know companies actually prefer locals? You are bad at math doesn't mean there cannot be someone good at it. You are lazy then your hard-working peers take your position.

[@jackyrose304]

UCI here! .... its literally been nicknamed University of Chinese Immigrants lol

[@areebullah]

I remember sitting on disciplinary panels at a university level in britain and saw so many Chinese students going through the panels. Most of the time it was because the university wasn't prepared to teach the Chinese students basic referencing techniques and plagiarism. The university focused purely on just taking Chinese students instead of helping them through their degree to succeed.

[@annarboriter]

They refuse to learn while they are preparing to study abroad because it's not important in a Chinese academic setting so they feel put upon to abide by the conventions elsewhere. They get second chances repeatedly in training centers and Chinese public high schools and believe that overseas university will do the same

[@bl00dhoney]

How are the Chinese students affording the fees? Do they have loans or are their families supporting them?

[@cvrajendra]

See the movie Crazy Rich Asians...... chinese are fkin rich.... exports everything to world

20 yrs ago, most of those have corrupted parents working in the government. Nowadays those parents working in corrupted companies like Huawei.

[@rh5340]

The family is supposed to provide fees for the child's higher education. This is basically the norm in China. Chinese culture values education and family responsibility. so, when you have the money and the competition for Chinese uni admission is too severe, you have a child who's not so stupid and is the hope of the entire family, you would send this kid to the US or the UK to get a better chance.

[@lcs.1094]

I am a chinese student in germany. It does take courage and time to jump out of your friend zone with only chinese, and interact with local students. Nationalism plays a big factor here, but for the long term interest, some of us are still trying to breach the limit... thats why we're here, isn't it

[@PresidentialWinner]

I wouldn't mind having that many Chinese people, they are peaceful. What we have (In Europe) is a plethora of Arabic and African students and their culture and input. Not good. Not peaceful.

[@g43654]

It's true that all Chinese students form a group and never speak English unless required to, so there's a lot that could go wrong. I remember one group when asked if they liked or disliked any teacher, some accused a male teacher of being 'racist' because recently he was explaining a movie phrase: "why are you so yellow?". It was part of a movie analysis, but they got offended anyway.

[@u235u235u235]

translation: letting in more foreign students raises tuition/fee for US citizen students because they're increasing demand for seats.

[@strand-type-name]

The video addresses this. More public funding would decrease the reliance on foreign students for $$$. Go support public funding to make a difference!

I'm studying in a university in Thailand and for our international program more than half of the population is from China. Yet barely any of them interact with people from outside of China and they all only speak Chinese even though they are required to take English and pass the English exam at this university since this is an international university everyone needs to know English. It is quite sad because I would love to learn more about China and other cultures but they all only want to interact with each other no one else.
