THREE DECADES OF CHINESE STUDENTS IN AMERICA
On February 15, 2023, USCET completed its survey of Chinese students who earned a degree at US universities and colleges between 1991 and 2021. The survey questions focus on the campus experience, including students’ social experiences, their level of involvement and integration at school, and their overall satisfaction level. The survey also explores students’ motivation for attending school in the US, and how their feelings about the US and China may have changed after their study in America.
