China to USA - undergrad

<p>I have a few questions if Chinese undergrads can help me out. I am doing a study and could use some help.</p>

<p>I found some information stating there are a little over 60,000 Chinese of 600k or so international students, however 82% of those are graduate students. (2003-2004)</p>

<p>Why is that?</p>

<p>Is it because students are more sheltered or do not have time to look outside China due to prep for the gaokao?</p>

<p>I was wondering if someone could help me answer these questions:</p>

<p>Are there professionals or secondary school administrators that help students come to China?
Do a lot of Chinese look into community colleges?
Is it difficult to come to this country (cultural and/or government challenges)?
Do American universities give presentations in China?
Are Secondary school students even interested in coming to China? (is it dependent on what Chinese school they get into)</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>Mostly it has to do with finances…US universities (undergrad) don’t offer much aid to international students.
Graduate students are supplemented with departmental grants, research fellowships, TAs.</p>
