On any United States university campus, the person paying the highest tuition fees is an international student. For BIPOC international students — who are often subjected to racism and xenophobia in a foreign country thousands of miles away from home — the cost is even higher. University of Wisconsin junior and psychology major Brian Li is an international student from China. Li said he chose UW for its psychology department, which ranks in the top 20 in the country, according to U.S. News. During the fall 2020 and spring 2021 semesters, international students paid $19,814.90 in tuition fees, which is the highest amount of tuition any student pays on the UW campus — almost four times the tuition for Wisconsin residents and $500.04 higher than the nonresident rate.
