CEHD Doctoral Student Nicole Sealey Quoted in The Chronicle of Higher Education article Colleges Adapt to New Kinds of Students From Abroad. The foreign students on American college campuses today are not those of generations past.
They are younger, as undergraduate numbers surge. They are from more countries than ever and yet likelier to be from a single country, China. Many have the means to pay for an American college degree—more than 60 percent say their family foots the tuition bill—but a growing share are studying on scholarships sponsored by foreign governments. They are the product of a burgeoning middle class in places like Shanghai and Seoul, Delhi and Taipei, as studying abroad becomes less the exclusive privilege of well-traveled, well-heeled elites.
