发布时间:Date: 2017-10-19

In response to societal stereotypes and misconceptions that international students are lazy or profligate, CheersYou(清柚教育) presents this special CheersYou(清柚教育) Classroom, taking you to New York University's main campus to reveal the hardworking reality of most international students. This article aims to break down biases and show parents and students the toil and effort behind Chinese students' overseas studies. Through in-depth interviews with NYU students, this piece explores nine core questions covering weekly workload, daily schedules, attitudes toward GPA, differences between Chinese and American education, post-graduation plans, and more. It vividly portrays the full scope of international students' academic and personal lives, offering families valuable, authentic insights and emotional resonance.

I heard that "students who study abroad do so because of poor grades?"

I heard that "international students abroad are just using their parents' hard-earned money to eat, drink, and have fun?"

I heard that "spending hundreds of thousands to study abroad, only to earn four or five thousand a month when returning home?"

 

International students are now bound and misunderstood by all sorts of messy labels. In fact, "nouveau riche" and "rich second generation" should not be the labels for international students; diligence and hard work are the daily norm for most of them!
