You may have seen this already but I thought I would pass on the link to the just-released 2012 Open Doors Data: http://www.iie.org/en/Research-and-Publications/Open-Doors/Data.
This report is produced each year by the Institute of International Education and provides a look into the comings and goings of students in higher education in the U.S.
Here are a few pieces of info that I found interesting:
*Though China leads the pack in the number of students heading to the U.S. from abroad to study (more than 194K students), Saudi Arabia actually experienced the highest percentage increase (50%) in number of students enrolling this year vs. last year.
*The top five most popular destinations for international students this year are: USC, U of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign, NYU, Purdue, and Columbia.
*Top two fields of study for international students: Business/Management and Engineering.
*The number of international students studying in the U.S. has increased by nearly 200k students in the past 10 years.
