​​​​At a city university just a 30-minute train ride from central London, I noticed a strange phenomenon. The school hosted a large number of Vietnamese students, but their attendance in class was strikingly low. Except for mandatory sessions with attendance checks or exams, they were rarely seen on campus. When I asked why, the answer was always the same: they were working “after hours.”
