American universities continue to attract international students in record numbers every year. With India becoming the top source of immigrant students in the US, there are many major factors that the youth consider before making this leap.
According to the latest report, 45% of international students are drawn by the quality of higher education in the US, while 42% cited the global reputation of American universities as the key factor. The majority of these students are from India as the number has gone up 35% from the previous year.

Another important reason for migrating students is scholarships, especially in STEM fields. Organizations like the National Science Foundation are funding programs, so students can focus on completing their degrees and further enter the competitive job market.
