I work with international students at Caledonian. So many of our students, especially those from Nigeria and Ghana, can barely afford accommodation. They are recruited here with hooes of working as nurses and potentially doctors for the nhs. Oftentimes whole communities raise money to help fund their studies. I've had to refer them for help with funding technology to get them through their course. Help with childcare, etc. Many of them are desperately looking for temp work while they study to help with bills.
They are not all wealthy Chinese students here for a Western experience.
I totally realize that some are wealthy, but this whole thought that every foreign student here is rolling in cash is so wrong.
