Should Chinese Students Study Abroad?

They have to face new experience and new challenges in their life when they come to abroad. The first year of their college abroad is a litmus test for them, if they have a positive experience they will stay but if they have negative experience they have to leave. I had observed the issues faced by the international students over here as they make their entry to new culture and a new educational system. They have to begin a new life in an environment that is very different. For example simple tasks such as going to grocery store where the language is different and the products are unfamiliar. The education system in India and Canada is different as in India, more focus is on memorization and there is no practical work but over here, more focus is on problem-solving skills and self-guided research. Majority of the students live without their family which is very hard for them to live without parents in abroad. Their parents sent them over here with a hope of their family

The reason I came the United States is for study. Same as millions international students, I choose American as a place where I attend college, there are two reasons make me made this decision. The first reason is that America has one of the best higher level education in the world. United States not only has best universities of the world, but also the whole nation’s universities have a better academic performance than rest of the world. So that I came to America for study in order to enhance myself. The second reason of I came to America is the competition in my country – China is intense. In the past year, there are 765 million students graduated from college, since the population of college students is super large, find an idea job in China

Adapting to a new environment is challenging for most people who first go abroad to study, so a person must be resourceful and resilient. When encountering numerous challenges, you should find some solutions to overcome it rather than give up. There is nothing quite like being on your own in a foreign country. You might find that studying abroad really brings out your independent nature. Students who study abroad become explorers of their new nation and really discover the curiosity and excitement that they harbor. A benefit to studying abroad is the opportunity to discover yourself while gaining an understanding of a different culture. Being in a new place by yourself can be overwhelming at times, and it tests your ability to adapt to diverse situations while being able to solve the problems. I believe studying abroad bring me a lot. It not only makes me improve my English but also make me how to solve the problems when I

He laments the fact that, while Western citizens have easy access to knowledge on mathematics, mechanics, and natural sciences, Chinese citizens would be quite lucky to ever learn about them. He recognizes the first obstacle to getting this knowledge into the hands of the common man is translation, as books on these subjects simply were not readily available in Chinese. To that end, he proposes the creation of “official translation bureaus” in Guangzhou and Shanghai, the two cities where trade with the British was allowed. In these bureaus, people under 15 would be chosen to study how to read and write in Western languages, as well as math, from Western teachers, while Chinese scholars would also teach them traditional Chinese subjects like history and classic literature. While the document still regards Western nations as “barbarians,” Feng Guifen still acknowledges that China must observe and learn from their fellow nations, and that their integrity can be preserved if Confucian teachings are kept at the core of everything they do. Further, Feng also points out that the Chinese’ lack of understanding of Western language and culture is shameful, compared to how knowledgeable Westerners were of Chinese culture. These translation bureaus would eliminate the need for translators to help them understand what was going on, and be the first step

Students that go on tertiary studies find more comfortable in foreign environments this means that they can adapt to work in different places and situations, another thing is that prospective employers in almost every field and company look on experiences gained while living overseas and knowledge obtained of other culture and language, a successful program competition represents an excellent measure of flexibility and ability to reach compromises and that is what employers look

With China being such a massive competitor in this world, one would think that they would give their children who hope to further their education the ability to have a smooth transition and promising future. This is not the case according to Taylor Clark’s “Plight of the Little Emperors”. In this article Clark puts a magnifying glass to the shocking truth that the youth of China is forced to face. He clarifies to the rest of the world the intensity of the stress filled hardship it takes to go to a university and have a decent living. He states that China does not have enough jobs for college grads, causing students to deal with tremendous pressure, severe mental illness, and trying to escape from this harsh reality.

Though I’ve spent nearly half of my life growing up in China and soon immigrated to Canada, my travels outside of the two countries have been limited, mostly due to financial drawbacks. The opportunity to pay Western tuition while abroad has been a major reason for my decision to embark on a global exchange experience. Spending my pre-teen years and on in Canada, I saw how valuable my early experiences from China were, even at a young age; my unique standpoint resulted from both cultural influences allowed me to shape my identity in an empathetic and accepting way, otherwise impossible without firsthand experience. Hence, though I recognize my privileges, my lack of endeavors outside the country feel dissatisfying and limiting, and my viewpoints seem to rest under a

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.

I feel studying abroad will enhance my energy for academic goals and will strengthen my interest in learning. Also, my lifelong goal has been to start my own trading firm and globalization is a huge part of trading. I need to know the ins and outs of the foreign markets and studying abroad will increase my knowledge of how foreign countries do things. These days business is all about globalization and I wont be successful in globalization if I don’t get to see the world through with my own eyes.

The history of Chinese students studying in American universities dates back to the mid-1850s, when the first student, Yung Wing, graduated from Yale University in 1854 (Bartlett and Fischer Para. 8). After that. Qin Dynasty starts sending Chinese students to learned new sciences and technologies and we called “Westernization Movement”. The educational missions to the US were organized in the 1870s to train specialists who would create “better engines and iron hulls” for Chinese ships (Bartlett and Fischer Para. 8). The 1870s mission involved about 120 students, who were sponsored to study at the United States’ top universities. Since the 1870s, the number of Chinese students in American colleges has grown exponentially to become the largest population of foreign students in the US (Institute of International Education [IIE] 7). After the Qing court’s resistance to reform and by China’s weakness, Sun Yat-Sen led a revolutionary military uprising. During the regime changing time, people really didn’t know what democracy is. Therefore, more and more students chose to study abroad to learn about the western political system. Chinese students travel to the US to pursue a degree in Western colleges, which they consider to be among the best learning institutions in the world.

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.

“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

The differences between the Chinese education and the American education are more obvious in people’s mind, not only to the international students, but also to the native students and some people who study on this. As more and more Chinese students come to America to have better education, we should think about why the American education system is better and how could we change our system to have a new education system in China. These differences have some deeply reason, like the American is the nation which loves freedom. It took long time to make such a big difference between the two education systems, and we need longer time to change it. An undeniable

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
