International Students 
 
(A)  All around the world, there are international students at institution of higher learning. The
definition of international student is “a postsecondary student from another country”. The
meaning of postsecondary is “after high school.” Another phrase for international
students is “foreign students.” The word foreign means “of a different country or culture.”
Even so, some people don’t like the word foreign, so they use the phrase “international
students.” For institutions of higher learning, they usually say “university,” “college,” or
“school.” 
(B)  International students leave their home countries and go to school abroad. One meaning
of the word abroad is “in a foreign place.” By far, the country with the most students from
abroad is the United States, Canada, Great Britain, some European countries also have a
lot of students from other countries. But more and more students from around the world
attend colleges and universities in the developing nations of Latin America, Asia, and
Africa.  Developing nations don’t yet have a high level of industrialization or technology. 
(C)  Why do high school and college graduates go to colleges and universities far from their
homes? Undergraduates are postsecondary students without college degrees. Often,
undergraduates want the experience of life in new cultures. Maybe they want to learn
another language well, in school and in a real life. Many older students want degrees in
business, engineering, or technology. These subjects are not always available in their
home countries. Some governments and companies send their best graduate students and
workers to other countries for new knowledge and skills. And some students from
expensive private schools at home save money through study abroad, especially in
developing nations. 
(D)   Why do institutions of higher learning want international students? Of course, students
from other countries and cultures bring internationalism to the classroom or campus.
They bring different languages, customs, ideas, and opinions from many places around the
world. Usually, they study hard. Also, educational institutions need money. Tuition is the
fee or charge for instruction, and private schools everywhere charge high tuition. One
 definition of citizens and immigrants is legal members of a nation or country.
“International students are not citizens or immigrants, so they pay full tuition and fees to
state or government schools. And all students away from home spend money for housing,
food, recreation, and other things. For these reasons, many schools and groups of schools
want students from other countries. 
(E)  For various reasons, many high school and college graduates want or need to study
abroad. For other reasons, many nations want or need students from other countries and
cultures on their college and universities campuses.
