Americans Shy Away From Study in Asia.

The article discusses foreign study by U.S. students in Asia, noting that most students who choose foreign study go to Europe, except for those of Asian heritage who may be familiar with an Asian culture and language. It notes that faculty members are a key factor in students' decisions, often guiding students towards institutions where they have research relationships. It also notes that many Asian universities, particularly those in China, are focused inward on building their departments and serving the native population. Thus simple factors such as posting syllabi online are not priorities. Therefore, it states, increasing foreign study in Asia requires efforts by both U.S. and Asian schools.
