Students vie for the opportunity to broaden their horizons and study abroad. However, an increase in tuition has caused some international students to expect the unexpected.
Popular universities have a dilemma that international students have to adjust to. Tuition hikes have caused major controversy for the students living in the U.S. For students taking under six units at S.F. State it costs $1,227 and for the students taking six units or more it's $2,115; International students are feeling the woes of tuition increase.
“It sucks, in Australia the government will pay for it [tuition], when you finish and you get a job that’s when you start paying back the government,” said International Student Mel Cooper from Melbourne, Australia.
When asked which American universities are the best, Shohei Yoshimori from Tokyo said, “Yale, Columbia, Harvard and M.I.T. but it’s so expensive and impossible to pay."
The hike in tuition doesn't seem to deter these international students.
The Institute of International Students stated last year there were 671,616 students that came to the U.S.
“I heard the states were really fun…S.F. has a different feel, it’s very relaxed,” said Cooper.
