Top 25 Higher Education Institutions In The United States With The Most International Students: 2013-14 Ranking
As it turns out, New York University (NYU) is the most welcoming institutions in the United States in terms of its international student population, according to a survey of U.S. colleges conducted by New York nonprofit Institute of International Education, in partnership with the U.S. State Department.
New York University was ranked No. 1 on the list of the top 25 higher education institutions in the United States with the most international students: 2013-14 Ranking, While for the first time in 13 years, University of Southern California was No. 2 with 10,932 foreign-born students.
“Both institutions remain hugely attractive to international students, with some preferring the West Coast and the strengths of USC, and others finding NYC and NYU more appealing,” said Peggy Blumenthal, the senior counselor to the president for the group.
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, IL was just below USC with 10,843 international students.
Columbia University is now the country’s 4th leading educator of foreign students, beating out its old rival, Purdue University .
In total, New York University (NYU) had 11,164 students from abroad in 2013-14, compared to 9,362 in the previous period – the size of NYU’s international student body grew by 19.2 percent in 2013-14.
However, most of these rich foreign students in the U.S, are the children of China and India’s elite. China sent the largest group, with about 274,000 students, more than double the number of students from India, the second biggest group.
More colleges and universities nationwide have come to depend on Chinese and indian students, according to the Institute of International Education survey. The number of Indian students in the United States increased by 6 percent to 102,673 in 2013-14, reversing a three-year trend of declining numbers of Indian students at US campuses.
