Honest question, why are they so many Chinese students at universities? At my university they make up 60% of the internationals students.

Not that I have anything against Chinese people, but I’m curious to know why universities are not accepting more international students from other countries?

You do realize that China has over 2 billion people right? Other countries simply have less students overall.

it's mostly in STEM and they're mostly grad students. i bet if each department sent a couple emails to graduating seniors encouraging them to apply for grad school, we'd have a more diverse makeup. yes, more diverse. because 40% chink, 40% poo, 10% other and 10% white is not "diverse", it's little asia.

the problem is that domestic student receive little if any encouragement to do so, and on the other hand, international students have a large incentive to obtain a higher degree or a terminal degree.

i don't blame them for wanting to work here or get a masters/phd, i blame the colleges for passively letting american students fall by the wayside.

according to other anons, they're more likely to be allowed to stay here if they have a higher degree. so the difference between a job with a bachelors in their home country an a job with a phd in america is much larger.

I'm currently a graduate student in a physiology department. It's not as bad as other fields in my school like material sciences or molecular biology, but I can see where you're getting at. The international students speak moderately good English, however they interact with each other in their native languages (if possible). Typically the PhD students aren't as bas the Masters students. The PhD students I've worked with know enough English that you can communicate protocols and sciences fairly easy. Masters students are horrible communicators but manageable lmao
The days of graduate programs being filled with a majority of Americans is over, so thats a situation you just need to accept.
I was actually invited to apply to my program, but I did present research at a conference which is used for recruiting students. From my perspective, if you need an invitation to apply, you probably don't have the drive necessary to finish it. PhD programs are looking for self motived and driven individuals.

A lot of foreign students are often self-funded or have sponsorship from their own governments. Naturally, fees will be higher for them, hence the university makes more money.

Honestly, I don't even care if they are willing to pay 10 times more, then its their money and their problem.

But the fact is universities are tax exempt and if they are deliberately implementing a covert policy of rigging the number of foreign students they accept over domestic ones, then thats pretty fucked up.

Nobody bats an eye when 2.9 whiteboi or hipster girl goes to European schools to study for 4 years.

My university education comes after my parents lived here for 30+ years. It came after 18 years of my life, being raised as an American as many before me have. Who the fuck gives a fuck about the 2.9 whiteboi; I gave a shit when I was young, I am an American, and I did well all my life through hardship in the US. You want to talk about privilege? I earned it because I did way better than whiteboi, actively cared more than whiteboi, and now pay the full price (I didn't even take loans) as whiteboi does. My parents work in educated jobs and give to the country in ways they can. I'm not gonna feel bad because I took easy mode away from whiteboi to get into a good uni with a 2.9

Sure, whiteboi's forefathers helped build the nation when it was closer to infancy, but that shouldn't trivialize the lives and contributions of my family.

Went to state college, so many Chinese nationals. Always walked slowly and loudly in groups.
It might be in vogue for Chinese upper class kids to get an American education, since the majority of these Chinese nationals were absurdly rich. I don't know anything about streetwear, but my buddy pointed out >$1000 shoes on Chinese students constantly.
The wealth tapers out with grad students, though. Most seem primarily committed to their fields. I assume a lot of them are escaping "paper mill" conditions in research in China/SE Asia right now, where eighty people do no work on a dogshit paper just to be published.

I don’t understand what you guys have about pluralism. I know you’re talking about visa holders, but you’re also responding to a guy who was talking about naturalization. The people who get naturalized can speak English, they know about the US, and they’re upstanding, law abiding citizens. Assimilating isn’t the act of renouncing cultural roots; I hear my friend speak German on the train to his parents either on the phone or on the train when we’re traveling. I see subgroups of people who don’t speak English with each other all the time even though they have the ability to do so. There isn’t anything wrong with that. They’re not ambassadors to their country. They’re just people who speak another language

>subjugation
There’s no subjugation. None of these people are telling you to lick their boots. Naturalized citizens are citizens who worked. Visa holders worked too. You’re acting entitled to a good education despite making the case for not trying nearly as hard (aka 2.9 whiteboi)

Also, one minute you guys are screechin about IQ tests, and the other time you’re saying that silly test scores shouldn’t decide anything. More than anything, test scores you get in school measure competence, which is a function both of your talent and how much of a shit you give.

You keep making a case for the undereducated 2.9 whiteboi, but I’m not convinced that such a guy would be enriched by an education, much less go into stem. If they wanted to, they should go to community college and build themselves up.

Your forefathers’ work is not yours to claim as your own.

Consider that you renounce your citizenship to the mother country after naturalization. These people are here to stay, and even though they have subcommunities, there are multiple pieces of media about how assimilation starts with the cultural tear the children feel with being American to their bones but having a distinctly different experience, such as “The Namesake.” I have both nonwhite and white first gen friends who choked up a bit because it spoke to them. These people are loyal Americans.

My gpa was a 2.3 for a while, but then I cut down posting on 4Chan for a year and brought it up to a 3.4, and then ended with a 3.7.

it's essentially theft. no matter how well i can swim, i cannot take claim my neighbors swimming pool. public property is the property of the american public, and should serve the interests of the american public. it doesn't matter how good or bad the students are, that's beside the point.

that's why too many asians in asia work themselves to death competing for too few positions. don't bring your third-world rat-race here. leave that attitude at the door. this is why china has a low HDI despite supposedly having a higher average iq and higher population, you have no sense of social obligation.

The conceit of this argument is some sort of entitlement to higher study here. It’s not taking up resources for one’s pleasure or so one and so forth. The comparison to the swimming pool makes sense if and only if schools from X country have an obligation to X country alone. This is not the case since most big research is looking for international notoriety, and most labs and schools have big collaborations. Giving out a bachelor’s degree helps get funding for the big bucks research; it’s tertiary effect is that the country gets more educated, but academia has always *really* been about higher study. Government funds (like NSF) exist because the work at a given institution can be utilized by public and private sector, but ultimately the university is operating at an international scope, so it looks to international talent.

It is in the university’s best interest to take the most qualified because it gets the best shot at funding, and the government funds because it’s interested in having cultural reach and research at hand (that’s usually further explored in a national lab anyway).

tl;dr a citizen in X country already has advantages (recommendations, networking, domestic publications, merit) for applying for grad school in X country, but is not entitled to that spot because the grad school’s interest and priority is to facilitate and claim good research for its own institution and not for the larger country it resides in. To this end, they don’t bar international students who end up being competitive candidates
