Nepali students don't send remittence to home. They can't with the money they make without a work permit to work off campus,and high tution costs. If they dont have good funding from school, which is maybe 10% of the total Nepali students , they end of asking more money from home. So these numbers are not happy numbers for Nepalis. as a matter of fact, i see this can be a source of motivation for Nepali parents to sell their property or take bribes to send their children for foreign education. poor country like Nepal is in no position to send their children to America for higher studies when Americans in America cry out loud about higher tution costs. Dhotis are smart they only come in masters , only when they get TA or RA. Nepali students come fo undergrad , go work in OC and estes park in summer and suffer a lot. so that number is not a good performance.
