Now that the spotlight has shown on Beijing for the Olympics will this generate more interest to study abroad there? With great media coverage usually interest follows. I would not be surprised to see an increase in student interest to study abroad in China.
On the flip side of the obvious I read a story that did seem part of the effect of the Olympics, more Chinese students looking to study outside of China.

Maybe having the world visit China for the Olympics will increase the number of Chinese students studying outside China?

That’s great that the interest for students to study abroad in China and for Chinese students to study elsewhere has increased. China has many amazing aspects- and it’s great that some of them were showcased through the Olympics.
I have actually studied abroad in 2 places (Barcelona and Sydney) where the Olympics have been held, and I know that many of us students were really interested in visiting the Olympic stadiums. I think that it’s a great way to bring together students from around the world, to share a common connection, and to visit a part of all of our history.

I think London is the next summer venue and they will have a lot to do to exceed Beijing. They could start with a no lip syncing rule…
