Chinese students take challenges at foreign colleges

OTTAWA - Canada's universities are opening their arms wider to international students, especially those from China, who are taking multiple challenges as well as enjoying the novelty of their overseas school life.

In the capital city of Ottawa, postsecondary institutions are receiving ever larger numbers of foreign students in order to boost international enrollment to offset a projected drop in Canadian students.

Chinese students flock in, which is a reflection that affluent parents spend more on their children's education and expect them to grow up in a more cosmopolitan environment.
