The grassy views of the upper Midwest were different from China's overcrowded cityscapes. He had free time to fill, unlike his strictly controlled high-school days, when he was awakened before dawn and required study sessions lasted late into the night. And American food -- it wasn't so tasty, he thought. But one thing was the same: All around him were Chinese students. Mengshi's dorm, McDonel Hall, sometimes seemed as if it belonged back in China. At meals, chatter in Mandarin Chinese mixed with the clink of forks and dishes. Waiting for the campus bus were always groups of Chinese students; it was easy to fall into conversation. Nearly 1,000 incoming freshmen at Michigan State last fall -- roughly one in eight new students -- were from China. That proportion (比例) was made yet more surprising by this fact: Just six years earlier, fewer than 100 Chinese undergraduates, total, were enrolled here. In 2012, by contrast, more students starting their freshman year called China home than those who came from Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin combined. It's a significant shift at a university that has been called "a big Michigan high school." Michigan State isn't the only college, of course, with a fast growing Chinese population. In the fall of 2011, nearly 200,000 Chinese families sent their children off to study in the United States, almost double the number of any other country and twice as many as five years earlier. Most will return home with what they came for -- an American degree. But will they get an American education? Are these two things really different, after all? The Chinese students who come to Michigan State and universities like it are unquestionably book smart. But a college education is meant to be more than a credential (文凭), most educators would agree, one that is measured not so much in grades as in learning, exploring, testing new waters. Will Chinese students take away its full value if they graduate with a 4.0 but few American friends? If limited English holds them back during class discussions? If the pressure to study keeps them from socializing? Students like Mengshi have come so very far for an American education. But some wonder if it's far enough. 28. What do we learn about the growing of Chinese student population at Michigan State?
