Why More Students Are Leaving the U.S. for College - Sarah Grant, Bloomberg

More American students are choosing to study abroad. In the 2013-2014 school year, the number of U.S. students studying abroad was 72 percent higher than it had been in 2000-2001, according to a report from the Institute of International Education. Many students are choosing to go further than a one-semester break and attend all four years of college in a foreign city. The number of students enrolled in college outside their countries rose 463 percent from 1975 to 2012, said a report last month by Moody's Investors Service. International students in the U.S. have grown by 70 percent since 2005, according to the report. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-03-22/why-more-students-are-leaving-the-u-s-for-college
