College is boring. No interesting people, no exciting people, beside some of the international students that attends the college. I love their accents especially, I find it very charming. I also like interacting with them and asking them about their country. But I feel bad for them since they are paying about 4x times more for tuition. I usually go to the gym after my classes are over and this one time a Chinese girl approached me asking where the student store was. Oh, by the way she had really nice eyes, she was also really pretty. But anyways back to the story! So I showed her the way to the student store and I ended up helping her find her classes books. At first glance I already had a feeling that she was a new international student due to her accent and her English was that well but our commutation was actually pretty good. She showed me her class schedule which consisted of the books she needed for those classes, and the tuition cost for the classes. One ESL class costed about 1,000 US dollars and she was taking 4 classes. I felt really bad because I’m only paying 400-500 US dollars for 5 credits which is like a class. This is also a Community college was tuition is a little less than University. I asked her if she plans on attending a University and she stated that she wanted to go to Seattle University where she will major in some of science program. It usually takes two years to actually transfer to a university If you take 15 credits per quarter which is about 3 class. She will probably have to pay about 12,000 USA for 4 quarters for two year which is about 24,000 US dollars at A community college. It is sad for them to pay that much compared to US citizen but i could see why. My friend once told me that international students “are either rich or poor”. She told me her name but It was really hard to remember and pronounce and I’m bad with names so I can’t even remember her name as I’m writing this. But then I just left to go work out. I see her now and then at the school, a wave there and chitchat there. But Kind of feel sorry for her paying so much for school.
