The United States has reached record highs in international student enrollment, with over 1.1 million foreign students currently studying in American universities. Notably, Indian students have surpassed Chinese students, becoming the largest group of international students for the first time in 15 years. This trend is attributed to a growing interest in STEM opportunities and stronger ties between the U.S. and India. Additionally, there has been significant growth in the number of Ghanaian and Nigerian students enrolling in U.S. institutions. Despite challenges such as work authorization issues, the influx of international students is making a substantial economic contribution to the U.S. economy. With students from countries including Taiwan and Spain also increasing their enrollment, the landscape of U.S. higher education continues to evolve dramatically.
