"美國基督教大學到中國找學生"

學校負責人發現，許多中國家長贊同他們較嚴格的管教。

美國衰頹的經濟現狀代表著學生註冊人數下滑，因此有些美國較小型的大學逐漸前往中國尋找新學生。對這些學校而言，到東方國家招攬學生的好處很明顯，正如國際教育協會的布魯門海爾解釋：「由於美國經濟下滑，學校更渴望能有國際學生加入大學部，成為繳全額學費的學生。」

常春藤名校總是對國際學生相當有吸引力，不過基督教大學在中國也傳出佳績。它們不只常常收下進不了頂尖學校的學生，也發現許多中國家長欣賞學校在酒精和性愛等議題上有較嚴格的立場。

伊莉莎白負責管理瑪莉．哈汀－貝勒基督教大學的國際招生，她解釋：「我們（跟家長）說，校園裡沒有酒精……。人們都試著待人和善些，想要怎麼被對待就該怎麼對待別人。」評論到許多基督教學校必修的聖經課時，她補充說，許多人都將這視為美國文化有趣的一部分。

(Education) US Christian Colleges Look to China for Students

Directors have found that many Chinese parents approve of their stricter rules.

With a struggling US economy meaning that student enrollment figures are down, some of the countrys smaller universities are increasingly looking to China for new students. For the schools, the advantages of looking to the east are obvious, as the Institute of International Educations Peggy Blumenthal explained: With the economic downturn in the U.S., schools are more eager to have international students at the undergrad level who are full fee-paying students.

Ivy League schools will always be attractive to international students, but Christian colleges are also doing well in China. Not only will they often accept students who arent quite good enough for the top schools, but they have also found that many Chinese parents appreciate the schools tougher stance on things like alcohol and sex.

Elizabeth Tanaka, who manages international recruitment for the Christian University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, explained that We tell parents we dont have alcohol on our campusK. People try to be a little bit nicer, treat people the way they would want to be treated. Commenting on the compulsory Bible classes many Christian universities have, she added that many people regard as an interesting part of US culture.
