'It's not just a university problem': The drop in international students being felt across Sydney's suburbs

.

The report, which uses census and Department of Home Affairs data to estimate the numbers, also calculated students' financial contribution by suburb, with international students living in Waterloo spending about $422 million on tuition, accommodation and living expenses last year, and those in Kingsford spending $335 million.Across the country, international students spent about $5.5 billion - or one-third of their living expenses - on property, and a similar amount on hospitality.

In 2019, overseas students paid $3.7 billion in course fees, and were NSW universities' main source of income, worth 32 per cent of combined $11.4 billion revenue. But they also support jobs in the wider economy, making international education the state's highest service export industry. "There's more than 100,000 international students who aren't in Australia at the moment because of the coronavirus, that's a huge number," Mr Hurley said.

We welcome international students if they respect Australian values. Not for those Communist China members.

And it's great! Less people undercutting wages with cash work, less people raising rental prices. Less congestion. Let's hope China boycotts us. Because our politicians won't do the right thing by us. Their donors and GDP figure obsession don't allow them to.

How many of these students were actively engaged in studies and not here working illegally? Maybe Australians can afford to live in these suburbs again and possibly engage in employment opportunities in the area now vacated by the so called students.

Yet The Government figures show an increase of 6% in March 2020 to March 2019. I believe the tourist numbers are down, and that’s affecting the accommodation, not the students.

And that is why the property market will be shizenhaus for some time

They'll come back. smh auspol

So rents will come down for the poorer classes that can't buy right? Sounds like a good thing to me

Message from the one who predicted coronavirus. Dr. Anthony R. Fehr, Assistant Professor of Infectious Disease at the University of Kansas. He was one of about a hundred people in the country studying the coronavirus full-time.
