SUMMARY AND RESPONSE ESSAY
Summary
Justin Pope writes ranks of Foreign students on US campuses
published by community college Week in 2012. In the article,
Pope discusses that there is a significant and rapid rise in the
number of foreign students. There are a series of benefits and
problems associated with this rise. The remarkable increase in
the number of international students in the US universities is
something that cannot be easily avoided and it is bound to
continue with time (Pope, 2012). However, it is clear that this
brings more benefits than problems. Initially, Pope talked about
the rate at which international students in the US has risen over
the last five years. This rise is prominently phenomenal,
especially for Chinese students.
International enrollment at United States colleges and
universities has grown nearly 6% in the last year. These
numbers reflect the transformation of the nation’s public
learning institutions in an era where there is notably diminished
state support. A look at 25 campuses holding most international
students reveals that a dozen of them have increased enrolment
for international students by 40 percent in five years (Pope,
2012). This is according to data that has been collected by the
institute of international education. Of all these campuses, only
one is public where a significant number comes from the largest
ten states including Indiana, Purdue, Ohio state and Michigan
state as well as the Universities of Minnesota and Illinois.

2. Ambitious universities are highly appreciative of the global
vibe as well as perspectives brought to their Midwestern
campuses by international students. Tuition fees offered by
international students make it possible for public universities to
continue offering scholarships as well as financial assistance to
domestic students (Pope, 2012). On a national scale, US
campuses held 765,000 international students where China had
158,000 with the top score followed closely by India, South
Korea and then Saudi Arabia. The presence of international
students has a significant economic appeal, and this promotes
their acceptance in a bid way.
Out of state recruitment, whether international or domestic is
quite sensitive especially for public universities, this fuels
charges that students of the in-state taxpayers are being denied
available slots (Pope, 2012). The article argues that it 's hard to
prepare students for a global economy when they are not
exposed to students from abroad.
International students bring revenue. However, there are also
associated costs. Universities are obliged to expand
international advising, English instruction as well as targeted
mental health services. Expanding these numbers does not help
a great deal but makes to easier to find a bubble (Pope, 2012).
Wang, a Chinese student, observes that his experience in the
Michigan University has been excellent, agreeing that the rising
numbers solve no isolation problem.
Response
The author presents compelling sentiments regarding
international students and the impact that they have on the
educational systems and processes in the US. The article
presents both advantages and problems that come with
international students. However, as noted, the benefits surpass
the problems by far. This clearly indicates the author has a
thorough understanding of the educational system and matters in
the United States and the sentiments presented can be relied
upon when making decisions regarding international students in
the US. The article poses that international students add to the

3. revenue of the nation (Pope, 2012). Essentially, the institutions
are an investment and as such, public and private universities
can be used in generating revenue for the nation from willing
international students who will benefit from the quality
education offered by globally reputable institutions of higher
learning.
To elaborate on the matters of the presence of international
students, the article is keen to give the observations made by
international students regarding the relationships that they have
with domestic and other foreign students in the US universities
and their experiences in this foreign nation (Pope, 2012). The
discussion is presented coherently and clearly to enable readers
to have a clear understanding of the increasing demand for
education from the US universities by international students.
Observably, the institutions have undergone a significant
transformation in which case they have altered their stance on
international students, becoming culturally accommodative and
offering educational products and services that reflect the needs
of a global economy (Pope, 2012). Accordingly, the article is
thorough in communicating the reasons as to why there is a
steady rise of the international students in the US universities.
This addresses the topic given by author plainly and explicitly
to handle the expectations of the reader as appropriate.
According to the author, international interaction among
students has significant benefits for the global economy. As
such, students from different walks of life need exposure in this
regard (Pope, 2012). This is a suitable observation that helps
understand the significance of offering learning opportunities to
international students as hey significantly contribute to cultural
social and economic interactions which are of paramount
importance to a nation. Essentially, the article is thorough in
presenting reliable observations and information that addresses
the question of why there is a rise in the number of international
students in the US universities.
