Seriously you guys, the internet is the best. It has everything: cute cats, bootleg movies, and direct access to the people at universities who deal with admissions and recruitment. It's that third thing that I'm excited about tonight.
In a Twitter chat about international recruitment, university professionals got to talking about what countries they target for recruiting international students, and to discussing how they view Chinese students in particular.
Of course, the views of these individuals are the views of these individuals, and don't represent what's going on at every school in America, but it's interesting nonetheless to hear their perspectives.
Also, if you scroll to the bottom, they discussed financial aid a little bit as well, and shared a few useful websites for finding private scholarships and funding.

@ChasingAcademe We were necessarily expecting it either, but Chinese students have been coming out of the woodwork! #EMchat
