    Thats pretty cool. I wonder if this implies that overseas universities are much better or if students just want to see the rest of the world.

      A lot of it stems from the fact that Chinese education system is brutally competitive, and rich parents can’t buy their kids way into university. So, instead, they often just send their kids to prestigious western universities.
