Math below may be faulty as its been a while but I'll try my best.
UBC's operating budget shows government funding at $631 million and tuition at $667 million. About 25% of enrollment is international. International students pay about 6x more for tuition.
Assuming government funding increases with domestic enrollment (which is unlikely) this means that 75% of enrollment=631 million+(3/9)(667)=$853 million. International students therefore account for $445 million in funding.
853/3=$284.33 million.
445/284.33=156.5%
So each international student benefits UBC at least 56.5% more than a domestic student. This assumes the government would increase funding if more domestic students joined and doesn't include the revenue they also make from dormitories.
