The United States continues to the destination for foreign students. In fact, the number of foreign students coming to the US is surging. According to the US Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and the Institute of International Education (IIE), the number of foreign students rose 7.1% from last year with 1, 043, 839 total students. International students now make up 5.2% of all higher education students in the US. We at Stoodnt believe these numbers will continue to grow and that India will be a big driver behind the continuing surge.
