Chinese student enrollment climbs at Michigan universities

From The Detroit Free Press: The number of Chinese students enrolling at Michigan State University has soared by more than 400 percent during the last four years, mirroring a national trend that experts say is attributed to increasing personal wealth and limited higher education opportunities in China. Chinese student enrollment at MSU has increased from 653 in 2007 to 3,374 in 2011. The biggest growth came between 2010 and 2011, when the number of Chinese students coming to campus increased by 69 percent. At the University of Michigan, Chinese student enrollment grew 19 percent from 2010 to 2011.
