In Shanghai, China, students Helen Dong and Yvonne Wong have both decided against studying in the U.S., a destination of choice for many decades for Chinese students.
Dong, a 22-year-old senior studying advertising, said it was because of the cost. “It does not work for me when you have to spend 2 million (yuan) (US$278,000) but find no job upon returning,” said Dong, who is heading to Hong Kong this autumn instead.
While costs were not a concern for Wong, 24, who is now studying for a master’s degree in comparative literature and cultures at the University of Bristol in the UK, she said the issue was safety.
