<p>Well I just read the TIME magazine and the Newsweek, it seems that colleges all around the globe are finally realizing that they really have to get international students in their colleges.... well this is extending the Who needs harvard concept a bit further? say colleges with US level education in Germany, Scandinavian countries, UK, New Zealand, Australia... and more recently China.... hmmmm.... now the problem is that we, international students aren't bounded by scores or ambitions but more in terms of more mundane monetary affairs.... any ideas on scholarships elsewhere well including US too.....</p>
<p>Students seem to prefer American Colleges and Universities not so much because they're better, but because the American University System is more flexible and offers a wider variety of majors, topics, and specializations than anywhere else. Also, many students (though certainly not all) who study in the US intend to stay.</p>
<p>exactly, there are no colleges like American Colleges! I'd prefer Northwestern over oxford any time ...</p>
<p>Universities in the UK actually have a fairly large number of international students. Latin Americans and students from francophone countries on the other hand frequently go to France (especially for grad school). For Asian students though, language is a major barrier to studying in any non-English-speaking country (very few Asians can speak German or French for example). As for Australian or Canadian universities, I guess the reason why they attract fewer international students is simply that they are ranked lower internationally than most top 20 U.S. universities or any of the top U.K. universities (like Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial College, and LSE).</p>
<p>oh yes, I's also thinking of the same. I think intels should look beyond US colleges, as other colleges are also gaining more recognition. But the main concern of the international students like me is funding. With good educational background I also need colleges that can support my financial needs. And I'm not aware of those colleges that can support us financially as done by any us colleges except some. and that might be the reason intels choose us colleges over other top colleges in other parts.</p>
<p>I picked Warwick University (UK) over many schools in the US ( Cornell, UMICH, NYU, UCLA, UCB) because of the international experience. Yes money is an issue, but having an international experience is (what i think) priceless. You can not price a value on good education. Just like how many people are coming to the US i decided to leave and see the world.</p>
<p>Are you going to post the same thing in every thread?</p>
<p>Also far more ppl around the world learn English than learn French, German, Chinese, or Spanish. I don't think Chinese universities will catch on as a popular choice for internationals who aren't of Chinese or East Asian descent because Chinese is difficult to learn and not really related to any other major world languages, while English is Indo-European, and related to languages spoken by more than half the ppl in the world (French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Greek, Russian, Farsi, Hindi, etc.) and is therefore much easier for most ppl to learn than Chinese.</p>
