When you start enrolling more foreign students, is it a surprise when more of your graduates are foreign students?
During the recession colleges and universities focused on non-resident student enrollment as a way to sustain budgets.

- forgetsusername 11y ago>s it a surprise when more of your graduates are foreign students? This isn't a case of merely an increase in foreign student PhD's. It's that the degrees are primarily foreign students, even though as your link shows, they are a minority of students on campus. Side note, I love that they decided to show the distance scale on the map.
- sackofmugs 11y agoYou're talking about undergrads. PhD foreign students are paid by the university, not payers into budgets. So it's actually the opposite effect.
- drzaiusapelord 11y agoThe recession was 6+ years ago, perfect timing for those undergrads to become grad/phd students. I think his point still stands.
- justincormack 11y agoI don't think that is true. Some are but most foreign PhD students are paying their own way or being paid externally.
- aet 11y agoYes, it is opposite in grad school. Recessions bring U.S. students. In a booming economy, qualified students take high-paying jobs. In a recession, they ride it out in grad school. (I only have anecdotal evidence for this claim.)
