I'll give y'all the same advice one of my buddies in the JWC (Japanese Wives Club) gave me: Never date a fresh off the boat Chinese gal for more than 2 weeks. China's one child policy has given FOB Chinese gals, especially those whose families can afford to pay rack rates for a US education, a princess complex that makes the [certain religion that runs Israel] American Princesses seem tame by comparison.
The reason the schools want those kids is because they pay rack rates, out of state tuition with no discounts. Many of them cheat like hell on the standardized tests and TOEIC tests to gain admission. When they get to college, they rarely interact with the natives. The schools have let so many of them in that they can easily go 4 years without speaking a word of English outside of the classroom. Ma was an exchange student and I lived in Japan, so I totes understand the difficulties of learning a new language, but the Chinese kids I see around NU only roll in big packs, are loud as hell and have such a poor command of the English language that I have no idea how they get into American schools. Hell, we wanted to "give back" and we hosted a few at the beginning of the school year and their English was completely incomprehensible.
Oh, by the way, the 2014 incoming freshman class at Illinois was 10% Chinese nationals - 600 out of 6000. Talk about selling out for a few dollars.
