Chinese students into a beauty school teacher big customers: drag-medium quality | students _ news
About United States campus, a few years ago United States public opinion one of the topics is "Asian" focus now becomes "the Chinese". According to the United States the data of the Institute of international education, students from China to the United States in recent years by double-digit percentage growth in a row, to 2015, more than 300,000, United States one-third almost the total number of international students in colleges and universities.
So "powerful" proportion of Chinese students into a group that cannot be ignored, they affect the United States economic, cultural atmosphere, and even teaching mode in college campus. The face of these changes, United States people laugh worries. So for Chinese students? College town into a "Chinatown", they did is absolutely the beneficiaries?
Chinese students as "big customer"
A year for the United States economy $ 26.8 billion
Government schools face lit up with pleasure: "come to Bowl fast"
"In 2012, I came to school here, students will meet probably had more than 200 people. And now our orientation has reached four hundred or five hundred people, both years also encountered the problem of not to rent the right venue, we had to put chairs in the classroom. ”
Turning to the yearly increase in the number of Chinese students in recent years, senior student at Iowa State University, says Sun Fengze.
In addition, the campus more "popular" Chinese Professor, individual additional Chinese courses, car insurance companies issuing leaflets in Chinese in University City ... ... Sun Fengze, Chinese students have "occupied" United States College campus trend.
Faced with this tide of students, happy first of all State and public institutions. This is because State Governments give financial support to the State's public universities and State University enrollment students became rich, not only money to the State University and State Government to save a lot of money.
At Oregon State University, for example. According to the Wall Street Journal reported, face State budget cuts, Oregon State University 10 years ago, decided to enroll more international students in order to increase revenue. After the implementation of this policy, State Governments within the last 5 years on average to each students funding drop by 45%. For more efficient recruiting international students, Oregon State University, 2009, combined with a United Kingdom company set up preparatory classes, the effect is obvious. From 2008 to 2015, the number of international students in this school grew from 988 to 3300 people and recruits a lot of tenured professors, the total number of students increased from 19,000 to 29,000 people.
United States NBC has said in a report, in the United States, education is a "business", while Chinese students are "big customer". 2013-2014 academic year, Chinese students for the United States economy has contributed $ 26.8 billion.
How to contribute? Answer is, of course, consumption, and higher fees is one piece of it. According to Sun Fengze introduces, in the United States, students are required to pay at their own expense two to three times higher than in-State students tuition, she attended Iowa State University, according to the different professional popularity, the State Student tuition fee of us $ 3000 to 4000 per year, while foreign students annual tuition of up to $ 12,000 to 14,000.
Compared with United States students, international students are not only expensive, but small proportion of scholarships. According to Sun Fengze observation, she 60% the United States students enjoyed a full or partial scholarship and Chinese students, undergraduate students almost exclusively at their own expense, graduate students earn tuition by working for mentors will get full scholarship is usually doctoral students.
At great cost "buy" education
If the tailor
Teachers to ridicule: Chinese students in "drag" teaching quality
More and more Chinese students, by the United States State Governments and schools welcome, were met with university teachers "ridicule".
United States university instructors, some Chinese students to integrate into the class, also failed to keep up with the curriculum. This is not suitable for Chinese students in the United States for higher education, that teachers have to adjust the course content and the teaching goals for them.
Libeika·Kaer outspoken University Professor of Chinese history in New York said that Chinese students are taught her a "burden", she had to make changes for the lectures they can understand. In her view, many Chinese students don't qualify. "They hardly know what approaches to analyzing a passage meant, to meet the basic requirements for rational thinking and writing is difficult. ”
Is shared by Professor of luojie·gelahamu at Oregon State University. He said that in the accounting postgraduates in colleges and universities, Chinese students now exceeds United States students. "I should stick to the original teaching goals? Or make some adjustments to accommodate the level of Chinese students "?
According to Yu Shaochen observation of student in Iowa, several United States universities after enrollment, while at the same time employed teacher, but the teacher-student ratio is still down, newly recruited teachers tend to be arranged for the freshman and sophomore classes. In General, teaching quality will be affected.
But she believes most United States to international students is still very enthusiastic and patient teacher. "Some international students classes teachers encourage us to ask questions after class, they understand our language barriers exist and are willing to communicate with us. ”
In addition, public opinion, taking into account the share of Chinese students in class number, United States teacher's teaching content and methods are reasonable. At least from the perspective of Chinese students, they spent big money to United States "bought" education, somehow, be "tailor-made" education is also reasonable.
After spanning half the globe
Still feeling like at home school
New trend of international students choosing: escape from the State University of
Influx of Chinese students in United States schools, college town into a "Chinatown", is a shock for the Chinese students. Faced with this trend, Chinese students themselves are also some joy some worries.
"Chinese people already love ' hold together ' that many, many people think that we can eat well, got dressed, and playing well, drinking well now," said Yu Shaochen. "But for those who want to get out of Chinese circles, to better understand the United States society of students, their initial objective will be driven this trend dilutes. ”
A student surnamed fan told the Wall Street Journal reporter, in 2013 to the United States since he made only two United States friends and a former roommate, awareness to another via a network of local staff. "The United States zhiqian, I want to make a lot of United States friends, but here they found, differences in culture and language is a problem. ”
Yu Shaochen 2007 when deciding to study in the United States, after much cogitation, chose the smaller private schools, Drake University, is one of the reasons do not want to get heaps of Chinese students at the State University. "I like small schools, though Drake in enrollment, but there is always a ' small but fine ' educational philosophy in succession. ”
At this stage, Chinese students studying in State universities in the some people consider changing school. They say, don't want to cross halfway around the world continues to feel like at home after school. Escape from big cities and a well-known public University seems to be a new trend for Chinese-American students ' choices.

中国留学生成美校大客户 美教师:拖累授课质量|中国留学生_新闻资讯
谈起美国校园，几年前美国舆论的一大话题是“亚裔化”，如今讨论焦点变为“中国化”。据美国国际教育学会的数据，中国赴美留学生近年来连续以两位数百分比增长，至2015年超过30万，占美国高校国际学生总人数将近三分之一。
如此“强悍”的比例，使中国留学生成为一个不容忽视的群体，他们深刻影响着美国大学校园经济、人文氛围甚至教学模式。面对这些变化，美国有人欢喜有人忧。那么对中国学生呢？当大学城变成“中国城”时，他们是绝对受益者吗？
中国留学生成“大客户”
一年为美国经济贡献268亿美元
政府学校喜笑颜开：“快到碗里来”
“2012年，我刚来这儿读书时，新生见面会大概有两百多人。而现在我们迎新活动的规模已达四五百人，这两年还遇到了租不到合适场地的问题，我们只好在教室里加椅子。”
谈到近年来中国留学生人数逐年增加，艾奥瓦州立大学大四学生孙凤泽如是说。
此外，校园里越来越“流行”汉语、个别教授增设中文课程、大学城里的汽车保险公司发放中文传单……在孙凤泽看来，中国留学生有“占领”美国大学校园之势。
面对这股留学生大潮，喜笑颜开的首先是州政府和公立高校。这是因为，州政府对本州公立大学给予财政支持，而扩招留学生让州立大学富了起来，不但州立大学有钱扩建，还给州政府省下一大笔开支。
以 俄勒冈州立大学为例。据《华尔街日报》报道，面临州财政预算削减，俄勒冈州立大学10年前决定招收更多国际学生以增加收入。这一政策执行后，州政府过去5 年内平均给每名在校大学生的拨款下降了45%。为更高效地招收国际学生，俄勒冈州立大学2009年联合一家英国公司办起了预科班，效果显而易见。2008 年至2015年，这所学校的国际学生人数从988人增长到3300人，同时新聘了许多终身教授，学生总人数也从1.9万人增加到2.9万人。
美国全国广播公司曾在一篇报道中说，在美国，教育是一门“生意”，而中国留学生是“大客户”。2013-2014学年，中国留学生为美国经济贡献了268亿美元。
如 何贡献？答案当然是消费，而高额学费是其中一大块。据孙凤泽介绍，在美国，自费留学生需要缴纳比州内生源高两到三倍的学费，在她就读的艾奥瓦州立大学，根 据专业热门程度不同，本州生源每年学费为3000至4000美元，而留学生每年学费高达1.2万至1.4万美元。
相比美国学生，国际学生不但学费贵，而且享受奖学金的比例小。据孙凤泽观察，她周围60%的美国同学享受着全额或半额奖学金；而在中国留学生中，本科生几乎清一色全是自费，研究生一般靠给导师打工挣点学费，能拿到全奖的一般都是博士生。
花大价钱“买”的教育
是否该量身定做
教师吐槽：中国留学生“拖累”授课质量
中国留学生越来越多，受到美国州政府和校方欢迎，却遭遇大学教师们“吐槽”。
一些美国大学教师反映，部分中国留学生难以融入班级，也跟不上课程进度。这些中国留学生并不适合在美国接受高等教育，以至于教师不得不为他们而调整授课内容和教学目标。
在纽约大学教授中国历史的丽贝卡·卡尔直言不讳地说，中国留学生是她授课的一大“负担”，她不得不为他们能听懂讲课而作出改变。在她看来，很多中国学生水平完全不够格。“他们几乎不懂如何理性分析一段文章是什么意思，要达到理性思考或写作的基本要求十分困难。”
俄勒冈州立大学的罗杰·格拉哈姆教授也有同感。他说，在这所高校的会计学研究生中，中国留学生人数已超过美国学生。“我还应坚持原先的教学目标吗？还是做些调整来适应中国学生的水平呢”？
据曾在艾奥瓦州求学的俞少尘观察，一些美国大学在扩招后，虽然同时增聘了教师，但师生比例仍有下降，新聘老师往往被安排给大一、大二学生上课。总的来说，授课质量会受一定影响。
但她认为，大多数美国教师对国际学生还是很热情和耐心。“一些国际学生多的大课老师鼓励我们课后提问，他们理解我们在语言上存在障碍，愿意与我们沟通。”
此外，有舆论认为，考虑到中国留学生占全班人数的比例，美国教师调整教学内容和方式合乎情理。至少从中国留学生的角度看，他们花了大价钱来美国“买”教育，某种程度上，得到“量身订做”的教育也是情理之中。
跨越半个地球后
仍感觉像在国内上学
留学生择校新趋势：逃离州立大学
大批中国留学生涌入美国校园，大学城变成了“中国城”，对于中国留学生来说也是一种冲击。面对这一趋势，中国留学生自身也是有人欢喜有人忧。
“中国人本来就爱‘抱团’，人多了，不少人更觉得可以一块吃好、穿好、玩好、喝好了，”俞少尘说。“而对于那些想走出中国人圈子、更好地了解美国社会的学生，他们最初的动力客观上也会被这股潮流给冲淡。”
一名姓范的留学生告诉《华尔街日报》记者，2013年到美国以来，他只交了两个美国朋友，一个是前室友，另一个是通过网络认识的当地酒吧员工。“来美国之前，我想结交很多美国朋友，不过到了这里以后才发现，语言和文化差异的确是个问题。”
俞少尘2007年决定来美留学时，经过再三考虑，选择了规模较小的私立学校德雷克大学，原因之一就是不希望扎到州立大学的中国学生堆里。“我很喜欢小规模的学校，虽然德雷克也在扩招，但始终有一种‘小而精’的办学理念在传承。”
现阶段，在州立大学读书的中国学生中也有一些人在考虑转校。他们表示，不想在跨越了半个地球后仍然感觉像是在国内上学。逃离大城市和知名公立大学，似乎成了留美中国学生择校的一个新趋势。
