i heard they cost the US taxpayer literally twice as much, possibly 3x as much as a taiwanese graduate student. it's incredible, sometimes they cost as much as a million dollars per year which gets funneled straight to the CCP.
- onlypositive 3y agoYou guys subsidize foreigners? Uni here costs literally 10-20x (depending on year) what it costs for locals.
- lukas099 3y agoIt is much more expensive for foreign students in the US, too.

- dotnet00 3y agoUni for international students in the US is extremely expensive unless you're pursuing a PhD, in which case you're usually fully covered by your PI. Although I don't really see how that's costing the taxpayer much unless that number is somehow accounting for the lost value of what someone who stays in the US after finishing their PhD would contribute to the economy. Universities take most of the money from the student's funding source such that the student is only left enough to take care of their basic necessities, so it definitely isn't costing much in terms of stipends,

- mycall 3y agoIt is documented CCP forces this to happen for real fear of blackmail of their family back in China.
- inconceivable 3y agonot just china. the ccp has operatives in every country. they can blackmail anyone at any time. they have stolen trillions of dollars this way. possibly quadrillions, but we have no way of knowing. the scale of the theft is mind blowing. in the future it may go even higher.

- cool_dude85 3y agoBlink twice if there's a Chinese secret agent forcing you to post this garbage.
- inconceivable 3y agosounds like you're the secret agent if you doubt the scale of their theft.
- ackbar03 3y agoIt's true. My family was blackmailed when I went on exchange in the US. Six flags was pretty fun though

- paulryanrogers 3y agoHow can one tell? Is there a dog whistle I'm not noticing? Are the stats actually the opposite?

- HarryHirsch 3y agoThe tell is that a PhD position in the sciences that's worth anything is fully funded - the PI has grants that he will use to pay his graduate students. This isn't about undergrad education, it's about graduate level studies.
