Hard as it may be to believe sometimes, foreigners still consider American universities to be among the best in the world. The number of foreign students in the U.S., at just over 1 million, has essentially recovered from its decline during the pandemic, the Washington Post reports. But the composition of the foreign student body is different.
With the exception of a handful of universities in the U.K., foreigners with the means to do so almost always want to send their children to American universities. This includes people who live in China, despite the country’s adversarial relationship with the United States. China is the largest sender of foreign students to the U.S., as it has been for years, with 290,000 Chinese students enrolled at American universities in the 2022–23 school year.
