I can sympathize with the foreign students
that attend our colleges or universities in Sudbury, and other
parts of Canada, (Northern Life, Feb. 22).
My point in this matter is these students are
not met with racism, intimidated or discriminated. My feeling
is our Canadian students are angry and upset with the costs of
attending our school system. When foreign students come to
Canada to further their education, one question probably comes
to mind.
How could they afford to come to another
country and attend our colleges and universities? With tuition
fees constantly on the rise, living arrangements costly it is
putting a strain on our students. The big picture is who is
paying for foreign students education plus living expenses. I
think to get to the bottom of this is to have a second article
printed about student exchange programs, making people
understand who, what and how these students can afford our
education system.
