We are “Brown Money Bags”: Thoughts of Education and Learning among Indian International Students

This study focuses on international Indian students attending a college in Vancouver, Canada. Through this research, I will examine the experiential accounts of the students living abroad while situating their academic decision-making in a western Canadian context. My intention is for this article to contribute to the understanding of student learning for this population. It provides useful knowledge for educators about their rapidly changing student demographic, and reasons to adapt modes of teaching to better serve both instructors and students. It will also assist post-secondary institutions to deploy their resources more effectively to enhance student experience and facilitate academic success.
