What are the reasons for studying abroad?

The phenomenon of studying abroad reveals

One of the phenomena of getting together: getting together with overseas hot countries

Statistics released by the Ministry of Education at the beginning of the year show that the total number of students studying abroad in China in 201/kloc-0 was 339,700, and most of them were concentrated in the United States, Britain, Australia and Canada. Among them, the total number of students studying in the United States accounted for half (46.22%) of the total number of students studying abroad, and the total number of students studying in Britain, Australia and Canada accounted for more than 80% of the total number of students studying abroad.

According to the report on the opening of doors at the end of 20 1 1 released by the American Institute of International Education in cooperation with the the State Council Bureau of Education and Cultural Heritage, the total number of China students studying in the United States in the 20 1 1 academic year reached157,000, an increase of 23% over the previous academic year, accounting for 22% of the total number of international students.

About half (46%) of international students in the United States are international students. The report also shows that the number of students from China is still increasing significantly.

The second phenomenon of getting together: getting together with popular overseas famous schools

In addition to getting together to study abroad, the situation of getting together to apply for popular prestigious schools is also very serious. University rankings published by various institutions emerge one after another every year, which also encourages international students to apply for prestigious schools. The top eight Ivy League schools in the United States, the top 30 schools, and the Eight Schools Alliance in Australia are attracting the attention of China students. The cluster application is unprecedentedly fierce, and the application difficulty and tuition increase have hit record highs, which is basically the case in the United States, Australia, Britain, Canada and other countries. There are more and more China students in famous overseas schools, especially some overseas schools favored by China students, and even the phenomenon of "China class" appears.

The third phenomenon of getting together: getting together with overseas hot majors

A more serious phenomenon than the study abroad countries and institutions cluster is the study abroad professional cluster. Generally speaking, when domestic students choose their majors abroad, they mainly gather in the fields of business administration, engineering, computer science and so on. Of course, there will be some differences in different countries and different time periods, especially Australia, a big immigrant country. The so-called occupation list of Australian general skilled immigrants has almost become the only vane for domestic students to choose their major. In the field of business administration, which has the most interest and choices, all accounting majors in Australian universities are basically crowded with China students because only accounting majors can immigrate for many years. In addition to the uneven distribution of teaching resources, the intensity of employment competition for international students after graduation can be imagined.

The fourth phenomenon of clustering: overseas big cities are crowded together.

The phenomenon that China students cluster together in overseas big cities is also extremely obvious. In the United States, more than 22% of international students are in 65,438+00 cities including new york, LA, Seattle, Philadelphia, Chicago and Washington. In Australia, nearly 80% of China students are concentrated in Sydney and Melbourne. Students studying in Britain are also mainly concentrated in cities such as central England.

Reasons for studying abroad.

Language factor is the most direct primary reason. When foreign students who have just gone abroad are not satisfied with their own language, they have no choice but to seek help from China students whose mother tongue is the same, so it is natural to get together.

Emotional and cultural needs are another main reason. We all come from China, grew up in the same language and cultural environment, have the same life background and emotional experience, and can communicate better together.

Blindness and mistakes in studying abroad planning are the important reasons for the cluster phenomenon. Blindly follow the crowd and choose popular countries to study abroad; Blind application for popular schools according to university rankings; In order to have better employment and development, get together to apply for popular majors; After going abroad, China students get together in the same circle because of visiting relatives and friends choosing big cities.
