Foreign students in America

摘要

Students flock to American universities from all over the world. But according to the OECD, a think-tank, over 40% of the 106,123 foreign students in the country during the 2007-08 academicyear came from just three Asian countries: China, India and South Korea. The 23,779 Chinese students in America far outnumbered those from India and South Korea, which each sentjust under 10,000 students to America. But over the period 1997-2008 the number of Indian students grew the fastest. By contrast, the European presence on American campuses has grown more slowly. But between them, Germany, France and Italy still sent more students to America in 2007-08 than did either India or South Korea.
