COLLEGES RECRUIT ATHENS
(NYT3) ATHENS, Ohio -- May 10, 2008 -- COLLEGES-RECRUIT -- Fei Peng, right, 19, who came to Ohio University through a recruiting agent, in the dining hall with her roommate, Andrea Chen, 19, in Athens, Ohio, Friday April 11, 2008. Chen was not brought to the university by an agent. British and Australian universities have for years paid commissions to overseas recruiting agents, and as a result have attracted a growing share of international students. Now the practice is spreading in the United States, especially at community colleges and public universities eager to enroll more full-paying international students, who may pay several times the in-state tuition.
