Hundreds of thousands of students immigrate to the United States each year to advance their education. In another sign of life returning to some post-pandemic normalcy, the number of international students in the US is close to the 2019 level. Here’s a look at student immigrants over time and where they come from.
Last year, 701,945 students came from other countries to study in the US. That’s up from the lows in the 200,000–400,000 range in the wake of the pandemic and comparable to 2019, when 728,739 students arrived. The peak over the last decade was 989,795 in 2015.
More than half of the students studying here are from Asia, totaling 367,654 people in 2022. Of all students who immigrated to the US last year, 18% were from India, 10% were from China, and 25% were from other Asian countries.
