Around 0.9 million international students studying in the USA

A total of 886,052 international students are studying in the USA. During the academic year 2013-14, there is an 8% increase in the number of international students studying in US.

 

The Institute of International Education (IIE) has released their annual Open Doors data, which is the comprehensive data of the international students studying in US and US students studying abroad.

As per the IIE, New York University is number 1 varsity for both international students and study abroad; students from India increase after three years decline.

The United States hosts more of the world's 4.5 million globally mobile college and university students than any other country in the world, with almost double the number hosted by the United Kingdom, the second leading host country.

The Open Doors report is published annually by the Institute of International Education in partnership with the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
