Research Blog #9 - Argument & Counterargument

 My argument talks about why students come to the United States for education and is it worth it financially during the pandemic. I talked about how prices of universities here are rising every year, and with the situation of the pandemic and economic instability all around the world, and even the risk of people traveling. I also talk about the travel bans around the world and how it affects colleges in the United States that usually have a large number of international students.

My counterargument would talk about how many universities offer various ways to cope during this time, like online classes from anywhere around the world, and if you go in person there are many clubs or organizations that are built to help new students who just came into the US to settle down. I also talked about how vaccines are being deployed all over the world now and every day the situation around COVID-19 is getting better.

How COVID affected International Students

    One of the topics I was thinking about choosing was about how international students were affected during the pandemic and if it was still worth it for them to come abroad to study.  If the price of college these days is still payable through the situation we are in now considering how many people lost their jobs. If they are staying back in the country they are from, does the timings of classes and test make it difficult for them to have a normal life. And if the students come over do they have any stress or anxiety something might happen to them or their family while they are separated.

Research Blog #6: Visual

  This visual shows the number of Internation Students in the US from around 1950 to 2016. It shows a constant increase in the number of students that come from other countries every year. I chose this visual because it really helps explain my topic, on how the number of international students was on a constant rise, but it helps me talk about the impact of COVID-19 and how for one of the first times, rates have gone down for international graduate and undergraduate students.
