I just got an offer at an American university to teach in their preparatory program. I am their dream candidate mainly because 75% of the students are Saudi. So much for the Chinese invading American universities. I had to turn it down because it was only part-time.

The university happens to be my alma mater and let me tell you, -40C is not uncommon in winter. How in the hell do those Saudi boys hack it?

A lot of them don't. And universities in the South are much more popular. Florida especially !

A lot of them are there for the aviation program as my university is the top flying university in the U.S. However, I was told that a lot of Saudis are simply sent there because. God only knows why they would send them to a place that can only be described as "colder than a witch's tit in a brass bra."
