There are more than a quarter of a million students from China in colleges in the United States - a third of all international students in the country - and almost a fivefold increase since 2000. Why do so many now come to study in the US?

在美国高校，中国留学生的人数超过了25万，占到了美国留学生人数的1/3,自2000年以来，这个数字每年还在以5倍的速率增长。中国留学生何缘如此青睐美国高校?

More choice

更多的选择机会

Jayden chose the UIUC without ever having been to the US.He turned down an offer at a Chinese university in Shanghai because a Western education offered him the freedom to choose his focus of study.

杰登在选择美国伊利诺伊大学香槟分校之前从未来过美国。他没有选择中国上海的一所高校，因为西式的教育给他更自由的选择机会，让他能够选择自己学习的重心。

That is representative of a number of Chinese students. They want to get out of a schooling system that uses test scores to determine the subjects students will take, which makes it difficult to change once these have been assigned.

杰登的选择代表了许多中国学子的想法。他们想要逃脱中国的应试教育体制，这种教育体制用考试成绩来决定一个学生应该学习的科目，而一旦科目确定了，就很难再更改。
