What universities charge more for international students than for random, unaffiliated students from other US states?
Some state systems "discount" fees for state residents, but that's based on the premise that those families have been paying into the system.
- sotojuan 9y agoIt's not that they charge more (though I don't have evidence they don't), it's just that international students almost always pay full price. American students may receive financial aid either from the government, or the university itself (scholarship or other aid). International students on the other hand usually don't. They pay full price. They make universities, particularly private ones, a lot of money. I went to a good but not top private college on scholarship. Some undergrad majors such as business and the graduate business school were overwhelmingly international students. The law school is approaching 50% international students.

The additional surcharge is based on additional staff for the additional paperwork and programs (e.g. ESL) used by students from abroad. https://iss.wisc.edu/international-student-fee-increase/ https://iss.wisc.edu/international-student-fee-increase/
