St. Louis Sees Jump in Chinese Freshman Enrollment
St. Louis University has twice as many freshman Chinese students this fall as it did last year, reports the school's student paper, the University News. This year also saw almost 1,000 applications, up from 450 applications last year.
The University of Kansas has seen a similar influx of Chinese freshmen, as well as more international students as a whole. And Boston University has a record 444 foreign freshmen, a 39 percent increase from last year. Most of Boston's international students are from South Korea, followed by India and China. The increase in foreign students has been attributed to both greater recruiting efforts and the weak U.S. dollar.

Is 2008 the year of China?
The Beijing 2008 Olympics has just successfully done. With 34 new world records, and 143 new olympic records. However, does it mean it is the "hot" season for Chinese?
As someone who is an international student from hong kong, I am part of chinese, and I think however successful China is during the olympics does Chinese have really a financial surge.
