1. Changes in the political environment in the United States affect the choice of China students to study abroad.
Especially during the Trump administration, measures such as visa restrictions, visa review and investigation for China students affected the study abroad plans of China students.
In addition, the hostile attitude of the US government towards China's technological progress and economic rise has also caused anxiety among some China students. These political factors make China students think that the risk of studying in the United States is increasing, so they give up the choice of studying in the United States.
2. Be more cautious and conservative.
Compared with last year, the travel restrictions caused by the epidemic also made China students more cautious and conservative in choosing their study places, and gradually turned their eyes to other East Asian countries such as Japan, South Korea and Singapore. In 20 19, about 36% of China students studied in the United States, and in 2020, this proportion will drop to about 22%.
3. The language and methods used in the publicity of American university enrollment may also lead to the decrease of China students' interest in studying in the United States.
For example, when some American universities publicize enrollment, the Chinese propaganda documents used are not authentic enough, and there are semantic and phonetic errors. Moreover, many of these manuscripts are literally translated into Chinese, without giving full consideration to the differences in China's cultural and educational background, which is one of the reasons why some China students feel alienated from American universities.
In recent years, there are more and more high-quality local universities, which gives China students more choices when choosing to study abroad.
Nowadays, universities in China pay more and more attention to offering international courses, recruiting high-level foreign teachers and establishing international cooperation, which not only ensures the quality of learning, but also provides more favorable fees than overseas universities.
To sum up, the fall out of favor of China students in American universities is related to many factors, such as political environment, epidemic situation and the development of domestic universities.
Therefore, American universities should pay more attention to the needs and concerns of China students, and provide them with more personalized and professional services in future enrollment promotion and student service management. At the same time, the uncertainty of policies and systems should be reduced as much as possible to provide a safe and stable learning environment for China students.
