重温一下来美中国学生的数字

越来越多的中国国际学生来美，是双方供需调节的结果，没有无缘无故的“爱”，那些录取中国学生的学校都不是傻瓜，双方受益何乐不为？在美的华裔会面对更激烈的竞争，但他们的录取过程，和国际学生还是有区别的，总体所占的比例还是大的多。

看一看快速增长的中国国际学生数字吧：

“The number of foreign students in US grew by eight per cent to touch an all time record level of 671,616 in 2008-2009, the sharpest growth since 1980-81, with students from India making up the majority of entrants at 103,260, according to the Open Doors 2009 figures released yesterday.

But, China is fast catching up with more than 98,510 students heading for US, showing an increase of almost 21 per cent. This foreign student influx is proving an economic boon to the US.”

WASHINGTON: Indians remained the biggest group of foreign students in the United States in the last academic year, but Chinese scholars are
showing growing interest in American varsities and are fast levelling up.

The number of foreign students in US grew by eight per cent to touch an all time record level of 671,616 in 2008-2009, the sharpest growth since 1980-81, with students from India making up the majority of entrants at 103,260, according to the Open Doors 2009 figures released yesterday.

But, China is fast catching up with more than 98,510 students heading for US, showing an increase of almost 21 per cent. This foreign student influx is proving an economic boon to the US.

"China was the largest sending country for many years until India surpassed it. China may again surpass India," Peggy Blumenthal, executive vice president and COO of the Institute of International Education, said.

The study showed that American varsities because of their reputation, flexibility and enrolment drive attract more foreign students than any other country and this was generating a revenue of more than $ 18 billion and an engine to kickstart the troubled US economy again.

While, two thirds of the Indian students start at the graduation level, a fair number also are in professional courses, the study said.

In 2007-08 and 2008-09, students from India made up slightly more than 15 per cent of the total foreign student population in the US.
