>The number of international students studying in Australia totalled 833,041 for the January-October 2025 period

>The United States hosts the highest number of international students on record, with approximately 1.1 to 1.2 million

The US has 32% more students than Australia and 1121% more people. Imagine if the US took on 13 million foreign college students per year lol

It does help them in the long run, because it ensures they get to reside in australia. after 4 years they get permanent residence rights and benefits, etc
