Re: Students in American Universities should temper their views - Split from China thread
^ actually post 9/11 most foreign students are turning away from the US, UK is becomin the top destination.
and yes they do need foreign students to attend, there was an outcry recently in the UK when the gov. merely increased the visa renewal fee for foriegn students. Uni’s were afraid they’d have to close down departments, they even agreed to pay the extra fee so students dunn turn away from them, that is how dependant they are, my friend. and to think its beneficial in one way is pretty arrogant. Its like customers are always right, and like it or not, students are the customers here whilst unis are merely providing the service.
bottom line, Unis need these guys financially to survive. read these articles an u’ll get an idea of how badly.
