Abstract
This research focuses on the factors influencing international students’ decision to pursue education in China. Data were generated from a survey involving 109 first-year students who were studying in Shaanxi, China. The findings showed important family influences on the participants’ choice of Chinese education. The concerns over limited opportunities for further education in their home countries also pushed them to study in China. Results of factor analysis revealed that “information sources”, “quality of Chinese education”, “opportunities to gain admission”, “opportunities for intercultural communication”, and “possibilities of living in China upon graduation” were major factors attracting these students to China. The research helped to understand international students’ motivation for studying in China. It had implications for China to evaluate and further improve its international education.
