In this Thursday, July 10, 2014 photo, Lisa Li, a high school student at the U.S. prep school Lawrence Academy in Groton, Mass., poses for a photo outside the Stephen Robert Campus Center on the Brown University Campus in Providence, RI. High schoolers want to escape the rat race in China, where students often study late into the night with little opportunity for extracurricular activities. They also believe studying in the U.S. will help them snag coveted spots at more prestigious American colleges. Li said she felt like a failure if she didn’t get the top test score in her class in Beijing. Her academic work in the U.S. is also rigorous, but she says she doesn’t feel the same kind of pressure, and is now encouraged to explore other interests - like music composition.
