Findings include: (1) Students' nationality: students from Asia and Africa are the most while students from Oceania are the least; (2) Student category: more than 1/3 of overseas students are Chinese language students, but overseas students in Jiangsu province have a higher level of matriculate quality and educational pursuit, for those pursuing a higher education degree at the bachelor's, the master's and the doctoral level have reached an accumulative 60% of all; (3) The overall student satisfaction is above average, with a significant difference between different colleges and universities within Jiangsu province. Satisfaction with surrounding environment gets the highest score, but dissatisfaction of a certain degree occurs with library, website construction, hostel accommodation, other school facilities and services, and urban civility and environment. As is revealed by the investigation, 70.45% of students respond that their college or university does not have a canteen exclusive for overseas students; (4) There is a significant difference in overall satisfaction and satisfaction with each of the 5 assessment dimensions between different categories of students; and (5) A multiple linear regression model shows that the overall accountability is 98.8% on the 11 assessment parameters in the dimensions of school learning and school life (curriculum, teacher, school system, teaching facilities, library, website construction, hostel accommodation, canteen catering, entertainment & sports activities, student affairs and services, and other school facilities and services).
