International Students and the Right of Working While Studying in USA

For my Follow-on Service Project, I aim to promote the notion that studying abroad is an experience that everyone can have. I will emphasized that this opportunity is not limited to the elite few who have the money to pay for the experience out of their own pocket. I will accomplish this by highlighting the various funding opportunities available to students, especially those opportunities geared specifically toward lower-income students. I will encourage students to look at every possible avenue such as local scholarships available back home, university scholarships, organizational scholarships, departmental scholarships, state-level scholarships, and national scholarships.

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,

Finally, the most difficult challenge students face in college is a financial hardship. Many students come from various walks of life and sometimes determining one’s financial capability to offset college costs during the early stages of can be problematic. Some students come from well to do families who have a tremendous capacity to pay full tuition without external assistance. These particular students do not require financial aid or scholarships, as they can meet the institution’s financial requirement regardless of what level in college they may fall under as the source of wealth is derived from the family or families. Other students, however, come from impoverished families whom solely depend on financial aid and work full time or part time

Financial support has played an important role for college students, especially for university students, whose family could not support their education after they have graduated from high school. Due to this situation, students have to go through a lot of problems with their tuition fees to be able to continue with their education. They always need a large amount of money besides paying for the tuition but also for living, and students have to go through a lot of problems with their tuition fees in order to be able to finish their career on time and earn a better living in the future. Some students will choose to go to work part time while at school, so they can pay for their fees and their own expense, such as gas, foods, and clothing. On the other hand, most of students will choose to take out loans from somewhere else, such as the bank or federal loans. This way, students who choose to take out a loan could focus on their education without worrying about how to pay for their fees. It is very important for students to acknowledges and be aware of the different types of student loans, and all the requirements before students decide to obtain a loan. Because of the raise in tuition leads to the existence of the student loan debt is a burden that is a financial impact on lifestyle changes, such as postpone couples to get married, to have children, to buy a house and to save for retirement.

Education is important and should be available for everyone. Because of that, I strongly disagree that the government prohibit foreign students from attending college. One reason I maintain this position is that a lot of specialists that work in the US for example in technology are from other countries. In the article “International students in the US”, Project Atlas presents convincing data regarding the positive consequence of foreign students. For example, 20% of the college students that study engineering and graduate are foreign. Proponents of prohibiting exchange students tend to [point out that they take away resources that Americans could use. However, current data from US Study abroad actually demonstrate that a lot of US Students are in other countries to study and use their resources too. Another reason why foreign students should continue studying in the US is due the economy. In fact Huma Nisar shows in his article in “Views and News” that exchange students contribute $32 billion to the US economy in the year 15/16. This money is used and needed to improve the own education system. Equally important for those numbers are the relations that are built between countries and nations.

Students can find cheaper rental options off campus but forget the outside utility costs, parking and laundry. "The advantage of living on campus is that when you sign your housing contract, you know how much you're going to spend," says Reuter-Krohn. "When you move off campus, you have to pay rent plus utility costs, security deposits, Internet fees, the cost of furniture you'll need and transportation from your apartment to campus." For those receiving financial aid who choose to live off campus should first make sure it does not affect their aid packages. Most aid packages that cover college housing costs usually cover on campus room and board. However, it does not include the extra costs of

Judging by how many students are unwilling to take school seriously, there will never be a shortage of such laborers. If any defiant workers refuse to offer labor, they will be executed and their place reserved for some other compliant ex-student, there are too many people anyway. The economy will certainly benefit from this mass-production and the US will be recognized as one of the most prestigious and prosperous nations in the world, producing some of the most brilliant, top-notch scholars.

Nowadays, international students need spend at least $12,000 per year on their daily life in Australia. Moreover, in consideration of student’s lifestyle and place of study, this estimate might be even higher. Therefore, government allows students to take a maximum of 20 hours part-time work per week in order to get living subsidies. Some people claim that these working hours is a drop in the bucket for students who faced with economy pressure. However, these people ignored the enormous study pressure on international students. Students must work in a time restriction because, firstly, students need many study time, especially for international students. Furthermore, physical problems will be happened which are of great fundamental to a

The student also has to pay for gas and car insurance which according to the study the smallest amount was $1,200 to $3,000 dollars a year. Or maybe they can choose to ride a bike or walk or take a bus even. Still that’s a lot of money. Some college students may even choose to go to concerts or take a vacation or road trips. Some students may have subscriptions and bills as well.

Most university students feel the necessity of working since they would like to have their own money in order to be independent from their parents. It is not the exception for International students because they also feel the necessity of working to be independent from their parents or whoever is responsible for them. However, for international students to work in the United States it is very difficult because they are only allowed to work on campus. These kinds of jobs are very limited since some of the campuses in which they study are very small. Also for an international student to find a job on campus is difficult because people prefer to employee an American student who is not going to have any problem speaking the language. For example, last semester a friend from Venezuela who is studying at Miami Dade College decided that he wanted to get a job in order to have his own money. He went to

Therefore, it is extremely important for undocumented students to be able to obtain higher education in the hopes of utilizing their educational degrees within primary employment. Which, would then create healthier family systems, improved neighborhoods, and better communities.

It is common sense that the more jobs we give away, the less jobs there will be for newly college graduates to work. Although they were once known as the jobs of the "American Dream", they are now simply not American. Outsourcing used to not worry me, because I thought the jobs that were outsourced were the minimum wage, labor required jobs - but I was wrong. "These are not only call-center operators, customer service and back-office jobs, but also information technology, accounting, architecture.....etc." (Roberts). It used to be that if you spent the time and money to earn a degree, you would almost be guaranteed a job. Now days, even the jobs that require 4+ years of school are being sent overseas, leaving no hope for the new generations entering our work force.

A college degree is very crucial to the development of the national skills to match the market. However, the high cost of attaining the degree is driving many poor students from taking courses in universities. The possibility of an international student accessing equal education is the United States comes with a very high cost. For example, while a California community college student pays $46 per unit, an international student pays $250 per unit, which is very expensive and

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
