The number of students attending schools in the United States has increased by 3.2 percent since the terrorist attacks, September 11, 2001. Of the 582,984 international students who studied in the United States during the 2006-2007, Sangiment is one of them. She is a 24 year old graduate student from Thailand. She attends the University of Central Arkansas in Conway, and her major is history. She wants to be able to speak English fluently, and help devlop her country when she returns home. She believes that the United States has a higher quality of education verses her home country. The percentage of graduate students studying in the United States are higher to undergraduate students. Most of the parents of the undergraduate students do not believe that they are ready to live alone in the United States.
I think that it is good that most international students are studying in the United States. But I am in question about the students returning to their homeland. Life in the United States is good, maybe too good. Once these students see how life is here what are the odds of them wanting to go back? The jobs here are better, and it's easy for international students to work in the United States.
