Chinese students in US go for ‘2+2’
Many Chinese students studying in the United States are attending two-year community colleges to save money and then transferring to four-year universities to get their bachelor’s degrees. According to the American Association of Community Colleges, 13 percent of all international students enrolled in two-year community colleges in 2012 were from China, making it No 2 among all countries sending students to US community colleges (South Korea is No 1). In addition to lower tuition, another reason Chinese students attend community colleges is to develop their English-language skills in preparation for university study.
