Limited slots at Chinese universities and the prestige of U.S. higher education are contributing to an influx of Chinese nationals to American colleges and universities, according to USA Today. An Institute of International Education report found that, compared with last year, enrollment by Chinese nationals has increased 21% to 98,510 undergraduate and graduate students, slightly behind India, which sends 103,260 students.
The statistics reveal a strengthening exchange between China and the U.S. Last month, President Obama announced plans to expand the number of U.S. students studying in China to 100,000 over the next four years.
