Foreign students pay more, so they subsidise others, and justify increased numbers of places then available to domestic students.

auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 hours agoI mean to be fair, don’t Universities usually prioritise foreign students because they pay through the nose?

Foreign students pay out of state tuition, out of state fees, they have to have student insurance.
They have to provide proof of financial ability for the sum of THEIR ENTIRE PROGRAM be it 2 or 4 or 6 years etc. (As in, you don’t need to show bank statements showing that you have enough money for the semester, or the year, no, the ENTIRE program)
They can’t apply for financial aide.
They CAN sign up for a payment plan but the end sum is the same.
Most aren’t allowed to work because the program must require work such as labs etc. un order to get permission, and then off campus work is strictly illegal.
And THEN all of that, every step of the process is dependent on office yahoos who may or may not be diligent enough to get your papers processed in time for deadlines.

Harvard is private, there aren’t out of state fees. They do pay significantly more than American students, which is why universities are fine with ignoring the rampant cheating from foreign students.

As if the American students aren’t cheating equally as much

not true, because foreigners pay alot more in tuition than domestic students, thats why they are willing to ignore cheating, because of how lucrative a single foreigner brings in.

Not nearly to the same degree, and most colleges have no problem kicking out domestic cheaters.

I’m dealing with a lot of this for getting into Swedish university. I had to provide proof of finances which is about $1100usd/no for 2.5 years. I’m basically full throttle on applying and I may not hear back before school starts. I have some leeway but I’m lining everything up as if I’m going to get there on time so we’ll see
