Foreign students pay 2-3x as much as Australians do to study in Australia. Allowing rich Chinese children to study abroad contributes a lot to Australia's economy and those high fees subsidise everyone else which allows keeping local tuition low, which is why Australia is so open to them.
- powerapple 2y agonot only students, Australia welcomes every dollar. I don't blame them. It is a beautiful country, and I would go there and live in a mansion if I have enough money. The side effect is the property price will increase, but property owners can make a lot money.
- fakedang 2y agoThis is the same argument pushed by US and UK universities with huge numbers of foreign students, but how is that reflected in the tuition rates for local students? All that does is pay for an even more over bloated yet ever expanding university system.
- gedy 2y ago> those high fees subsidise everyone else Rather, they also elevate tuition costs for everyone and many schools are very lenient on cheating by people paying these high fees.
