International students pay hyper-inflated tuition + housing + food and most will receive some kind of discretionary funds from their parents to go out and be college kids.

Take the maximum domestic tuition, multiply it by 1.5x at least, then add in a year of student housing, a year of a meal plan + other educational expenses.

These kids are usually paying between 70k - 100k a year when you add up all the expenses. Then factor in that most come from countries poorer than the US, so to afford that they're usually first class rich and not large suburban house and a mid-level BMW rich.

For those people, the "cost" of throwing away $10k worth of household goods every year is equivalent to the cost of you throwing away an old phone. They don't care about being frugal because it's not their money, and their families are so rich they don't care about a $10k loss on the balance sheet.

Seriously, I'm know a Saudi guy who's entire family was eligible for the ARAMCO scholarships ; the government would pay his entire tuition, his entire housing + food costs and he'd get an allowance of around $2500 a month, 12 months a year.
