My university very much caters to the international student, however I have noticed a shift from Asian students to American students over the past two years (I don't know if this is due to complaint, or the fact that it appears this way because I no longer take classes in the Economics faculty.)

I do feel you pain, as it can effect your marks directly, particularly if you have to take part in group projects and the like.

I'm an Arts student and know that there is little regard for my degree, but I have enjoyed it and that's what's important to me.

Good luck!
