Lebanon Iran Thailand Bangladesh Venezuela Mexico Nigeria Viet Nam International Scene Thirty international students from eight foreign countries at- tended BCCC this year account- ing for more than 400 credit hours. Most of these students found Butler through friends or rela- tives who had previously attend- ed the school according to Bill Trent, adviser to foreign students on the campus. Countries represented by the foreign students include Leba- non, Iran, Thailand, Bangladesh, Venezuela, Mexico, Nigeria, and Viet Nam. The primary area of study that foreign students pursue are sci- ence, engineering, agriculture, and business Trent said. Most of the students move on to four year schools after leaving Butler. International students pay out of state tuition which is over $40 per credit hour. The foreign stu- dents are here on F-l students visas and are not allowed to work. Each student must sign an affidavit for the state depart- ment stating that the student has funds to pay for four years of schooling in the United States without entering this country ' s work market. Trent stated that all of the stu- dents come from families who value education and they are overall good students who are well-behaved and hard working. 24
