Factors Influencing The International Students

In the article, “Colleges Adapt to New Kinds of Students from Abroad,” Karin Fischer (2011) explains the increase of foreign students in U.S. universities leads to make more problems in campus and how universities are trying to overcome those problems and help foreign students to adapt to campus. Fischer explains the increase of the foreign undergraduate students due to the support from foreign governments. Fischer quotes Wesley Young, the director of services for international students and scholars at the University of California at Davis, to discuss that the increase of foreign undergraduate students especially requires more care and help than graduate students. While older students know what they need to do and what to do in U.S. university,

Do you want to continue your education abroad? Probably you have already considered American Universities, but still not sure what is excellence? In “Advantages of Studying at US Universities”, an article published in Gulf News on July 14, 2013, Peter Davos claims that US universities are the best decision for future students from all countries due to their unique features such as versatile curriculum, large facilities, and multinationalism. According to Gulf News, Peter Davos is “the Founder and Managing Director of Carian College Advisors, a Dubai-based educational consultancy.” He supports his thesis by description the large variety of universities programs, and possibilities to change the major direction in student’s education. Also, the author points out to the great diversity of students in US universities; he calls it “a rich cultural tapestry”. As a result, students can get an amazing experience of student’s life at American Universities because they will have friendly and comfortable environment, and will be able to find an interesting social circle. Finally, Davos speaks that talented students could get a lot of scholarships because US universities have a very powerful financial support through donations. Consequently, US universities are the best choice for international students to continue their education.

The second reason why most people immigrate to the United States is the quest for higher educational opportunities offered by most universities in the country (Nuñez n.p). Most of the adventurous students seek out scholarships to come and study in the United States since they feel that the United States has better educational and employment opportunities for the bright minds. According to Henderson (5), the American Universities and Colleges comprise 15 out of the top 20 according to the college rankings. Taking the example of two prominent rankings, the first one, carried out by the Times Higher Education Ranking of World Universities, the United States takes up 13 out of the 20 top universities in ranking. The second ranking, which was the Academic Ranking of World Universities, lists 17 American universities among the 20 top ranking bringing the average to about 15 universities out of the top 20. This appeals to most students from Asia or Africa to seek out scholarships and move abroad to further their education (Henderson 5).

The United States has always been a main attraction for international students to gain intellectual knowledge, technical skills, cross-cultural experience, and better opportunities for professional development (Han, Han, Luo, Jacobs, & Jean-Baptiste, 2013; Zhang & Goodson, 2010). According to the Institute of International Education (2017), in the academic year of 2015/2016, there was an increase of 7% in the number of international student pursuing higher education in the United States over the previous year with total international students of 1,043,839 and 5.2% representing the total of U.S College enrollment. International students make higher education one of the largest service sector exports in the United States (Rice, Choi, Zhang, Morero, & Anderson, 2012; Zhang & Goodson, 2010). They are regarded as a vital financial commodity for countries

The United States of America in the eyes of the world is a place full of dreams, full of hope and a place where civil liberties are being uphold. People of all different background, different social and financial status flock to America for various reason. Some people come to America to escape religious and political persecutions; some come to escape the horrors of war; some come to find a better life for their family; and many more will come for a better education. From the depictions of Hollywood, pop-cultural and the tiny sections that are shown on the media, the world sees the American educational system as the best in the world. With diverse student population, friendly faculty and staff, the latest technology, and the most resources available to its student, America is the place to study. International students with full excitement pack their suitcases and say goodbye to their families; however what lies ahead of them is not the glamor that the media portrays, but rather harsh discrimination that comes from negative stereotypes await them.

Education is a never-ending learning process that has always been a piece of our life. As education is a building block in our lives, we are eager to put profoundly into our education. Good education will lead us to the bright future. With the fast advancement of public opinion, we have entered an era of information explosion which the necessity of studying abroad has turned into a developing pattern among youth. Most of the students feel that studying abroad is better than studying in local universities. As the saying goes, “the grass always looks greener on the other side of fence.” In this way, I believe that considering abroad have extraordinary points of benefits.

There are at least three reasons why international students are unmotivated to study in the USA that can bring about many objectionable effects. In fact, students do not want to study in the USA due to different causes which could be related. These causes can be categorized into intrinsic and extrinsic. First, students’ expectations have a role in their motivation. In particularly, since an education system of American universities is different from many other systems, sometimes students could not see their progress straightway. For example, some IEI students study hard, do all assignments on time, so they have good grades; however, they still do not feel that they improve their English skills highly. As a result, they are unmotivated to continue

Firstly, International students should go to the student center of school if they want to be a successful student in American

First, focus is one of the most important factors to success. There are some ways to be successful as an international student anywhere in the world. Students need to keep in mind where they'll be studying. First of all, before applying to colleges, students should figure out what colleges they want to go to and what they’re looking for in a college. For example, there are many colleges in the United States which means that students really don't have to compromise an awful lot to find what they’re looking for. There are so many more factors that add up to the American college experience

In the section of Murray State University ranking of individual's course, location and campus community were major factors. ‘Education system in my country is not very advanced and diverse, getting a foreign degree, 70% increase the chances of better opportunities' a respondent said. 80% students believe it is very different and rewarding experience to graduate from an aboard university. Factors influence a student to receive a degree from abroad are learning about the new culture, better education system, personality development,

For a Chinese student first came to study in America, the most common question asked by my classmates and teachers is “why would you come to U.S.?” or “what motivates you to study in a foreign country?” My answer was brief, “because American Education is the best in the world.” I know that my response is somewhat naive and lack of evidence. But now, after diligently struggling for three years in high school, I have a more persuasive explanation to certify that my decision of studying aboard was brilliant.

The presence of international students can affect graduate school completion rates through different channels. First of all, the completion rate is higher among international students as they are better motivated to finish their studies in order to apply for jobs in the host country. In addition, those who plan to return to their countries of origin are typically under immense pressure to complete their studies on time by their sponsoring companies, and to become better competitors in the market. Other than their self-motivation to graduate, they may also cause indirect effects towards their fellow international and native students. The indirect channel may work through peer effect, reducing resource constraint, and displacement and wage

In conclusion, Indian students are a strong presence in USA. American higher education has been a light for international students around the world. However, global competition for international students is growing. The U.S. government should work to support colleges and universities as they continue to increase their international enrollment. International students are either most comfortable among others students from their cultural/regional background, or among other international students. That may be influencing the selection of location is fear and misperception. Many students featured in study identified the downtown location as

“In 2006 to 2007, according to the data compiled by the Institute of International Education, 582,984 students from all over the world were enrolled in American colleges and universities in a wide range of fields” (Carter, Paragraph 2, 2008). The United States has the highest number of students who are coming to study abroad than any other countries. Each year, the number of international students coming to the United States to obtain degrees is increasing by thousands, and home countries of these students are primarily India, China and Korea, all located in the whole different continent. But what are the motives of students who are crossing the sea to study? Their goal of studying abroad is to experience diversity and to adapt attitudes

Looking at the trend recently, most of the students feel that studying abroad is better than studying in local universities. As a saying goes, the grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence. However, the students have their own choices either studying in universities abroad or in local universities. They have own reason to stud locally or abroad. Both of universities, abroad or local have their own uniqueness. So, we cannot ignore the fact that studying abroad is better than studying in local universities but to study in local also has advantages. In
