You have to be careful. These student-to-resident visa programs end up being used by "students" who really just want a visa. And then the "educators" turn into toll collectors who are accepting "tuition" in exchange for visa access.
Not sure this distinction matters in practice. Either way you're creating an economic incentive to go through the motions of "studying" at a university.
