According to official data, the international student growth rate was 8.1% in the United States last year, while in Australia, the rate was 12.3%. Many people believe that the United States has the world’s best educational resources and elite schools, however, what is the reason behind the fact that the annual international student growth rate of Australia is higher than the United States?

移民（Immigration）
近些年，美国的移民要求越来越严格，而澳洲移民要求则在逐年放宽，移民美国的成功率远远不及移民澳洲的一半。目前，出生在海外的美国人大约占美国总人口的12%，而澳洲这一数字则高达27%，从这个意义上说，与美国相比，“移民国家”的称号对于澳洲来说才更名副其实。
In recent years, United States immigration requirements have become more stringent, but Australia still has less restrictions on immigration. The success rate of US immigration is less than half of the rate in Australia. Currently, Americans who are born abroad account for about 12% of the total US population, and this figure of Australia is up to 27%. Compared with the United States, Australia deserves the title of “immigration country”.

尤其需要特别强调的是澳大利亚的移民政策。
2015/16移民份额达到18.6万，
其中技术移民占近13万，
包括独立技术移民约4.4万的份额。
而独立技术移民就是我们通常所说的
澳大利亚留学移民直通车，
而美国通过留学移民的方式却是非常困难的，
这也造就了越来越多的留学生
选择澳大利亚作为他们的留学之地。
Australian immigration policy:
2015/16 immigrant reaches 186,000,
Skilled migrants reach nearly 130,000,
Including approximately 44,000 independent skilled migrants,
Australia is the best place for immigration.
It is very difficult for foreign students to immigrate to US,
Thus, more foreign students choose to study in Australia.
教育（Education）
澳大利亚总共只有41所大学，不过平均水平远远高于美国大学。美国有4000+的大学，但质量良莠不齐，存在金字塔似的大学分级，一不小心就会掉进“野鸡大学”坑里。由于澳大利亚基本上所有的大学均由政府建立，所以政府会干预更多，质量均等。澳大利亚通过严格立法、质量保证体系和海外学生教育服务来保障海外留学生权益，更重要的是，澳大利亚名校入读机会远大于美国。
There are 41 universities in Australia, and, in general, the Australian university education level is higher than the United States. There are more than 4000 universities in the United States, but the quality varies greatly. As almost all Australian universities have been established by the government, the government pays more attention to the university education, overall, the Australian universities have higher education quality. Australia has strict legislation, and has a strict quality assurance structure and a legal code(ESOS) to protect the rights and interests of foreign students. More importantly, there are more opportunities to study in elite schools in Australia.
从费用考虑，澳大利亚名校每年学费生活费总开销30万人民币足矣，最近澳币汇率大跌，正是留学换汇的好时机。但美国名校没有40万人民币是下不来的。
From cost considerations, the annual tuition fee and living cost of study in Australian elite school is approximately CNY 300, 000. But the cost is over CNY400, 000 for study in elite schools each year in America.
