As the number of international students continues to grow at U.S. colleges and universities, some materials and statements by institutional promoters use their presence to justify the claim that the campus is internationalized. Confirming reports of international students many times not even feeling particularly welcome on some campuses, a new report indicates the fallacy of claiming internationalization simply because international students happen to be present in a student body.
No doubt about the impact of international students in the U.S.A. who contribute $27.2 billion to the American economy. With American students studying abroad only contributing $6.5 billion to other economies, the $20.7 billion net is important not only to U.S. higher education but to the general economy. Education Week indicates that, while international student numbers in the U.S. continue to grow (perhaps topping 1 million by 2017-18) there is a lot of competition from other countries that has resulted in a proportional decline of internationals coming to the U.S.A.
