The number of international students coming to the United States has dropped in recent years. Experts noted three reasons for the decrease: concerns about U.S. policies toward foreigners, efforts from Canada, Australia and Britain to gain international students, and the COVID-19 pandemic. But the latest Open Doors report showed that international students are coming back to the U.S. The yearly study looks at the number of international students in the U.S. It also looks at how many American students are going away for school. China remains the country that sends the most students to the U.S., but India is closing the gap according to the 2022 report. The number of students from India increased by 19 percent while those from China dropped by nine percent in the most recent school year.
