International students are students, usually in early adulthood, who study in foreign schools. While most universities have official student exchange programs, some well-funded high schools have them too. Although some travel abroad solely to improve their language, others travel to advance their specialized studies. In addition, in many parts of the world, a foreign degree, especially if earned from certain countries, is considered much more prestigious than a local one.
While some international students already possess an excellent command of the local language upon arrival, some find their language ability, considered excellent domestically, inadequate for the purpose of conveying oneself fluently in rapid conversations. Because of this linguistic barrier, they are sometimes or frequently ridiculed or even harassed.
Many countries force international students to pay higher tuition than citizens of the country. This discrimination is usually justified by the argument that the students' parents do not pay the taxes of the country. The fact that a large number of international students decide to settle in the country in which they are studying and become productive citizens is, however, ignored in such cases. ]
