Your feelings towards internationals. (3 Viewers)

[BackCountrySnow]

There seems to be a lot of hate towards internationals, especially asians.
I'm interested to see why this is so. I mean, if we wanted to study abroad we would expect to be able to do so. Wouldn't we?

What are your views?

 

[soopacow]

I think its just the minority that's shaped the 'stereotype' of the international students... I mean there's plenty of stereotypes based on a small group of people...

Foreigners bring diseases to our country. I think we should have separate campuses out in the desert for international students.

 

[jessi90]

apparently they cannot speak proper english and are fucking lazy when it comes to group work. i'm just fitting them into the stereotype haha

They are kind of similar to some of the DFEE people I know. They dress in Gucci's and carry around Louis Vuitton bags around the campus and think they are fully awesome because their parents are rich enough to get them into a 75 uai course with 70 uai. I think the standards for internationals to get into Australian unis are too low. I think they should scrape ESL english and instead of giving internationals 5 uai off they should give them 5% off- because 95 to 90 is not much but 75 to 70 is a bit too much.

i dont understand why internationals are given places in uni over locals..just another consequence of globalisation i guess

Don't they have to pay more?

Not all of them, but a large enough proportion of them that it would make sense to remove the lot from our society.

Korean girl I'm living with says she's paying about $8000 per semester in course fees.

International students fill up the universities' coffers.

Are internationals cool? Like are they easily led on?

They hardly know English. Australian universities get extra money, and the foreigners don't understand their education. Win-win situation.

Oh God, I'm going to have a lot of fun at University. I'm just going to sit there and take the piss out of all of them. (And maybe also try and pick up some hot asian foreigners)

Nothing special, business or some rubbish iirc.

 

[katie tully]

The only thing worse than an international student, is an international lecturer with English as like, not even a second language, more like a 5th

Fucking hate it

edit: fucking lol @ your sig graney
