The Technical University of Munich* \u2013 American Universities from a German Perspective \u2013 8<\/p>\n
For the USA, the stronghold of capitalism, foreign students and young researchers mean big business. These young academics made a net contribution of almost 14.5 billion dollars (9.8 billion euros) to the US economy in the 2006-07 academic year, according to Washington\u2019s Institute of International Education. Allan E. Goodman told The New York Times, \u201cInternational education is the fifth largest service sector export; it ranks higher even than medical services.\u201d Half the money goes back to the universities in the form of tuition, which can be as high as 40,000 dollars a year. The rest is accounted for by student living expenses.<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Ostwald, Gisela, \u201eAmerikanische Hochschulen: Kaderschmiede fuer die Elite\u201c, Sueddeutsche Zeitung, 16.10.2008.<\/p>\n *The Technical University of Munich, officially recognized by the German government as an \u201celite university,\u201d is ranked 67 among the world\u2019s universities.
