International enrollment at U.S. universities and colleges grew six percent last year, with nearly a quarter of that came from China. The University Of Michigan is part of a trend that shows Chinese students being admitted to large, public land-grant universities in the Midwest.
Excerpt:
"Of the 25 campuses with the most international students, a dozen have increased international enrollment more than 40 percent in just five years, according to data collected by the Institute of International Education. All but one are public, and a striking number come from the Big Ten: Indiana, Purdue, Michigan State, Ohio State and the Universities of Minnesota and Illinois. Indiana's international enrollment now surpasses 6,000, or about 15 percent of the student body, and in Illinois, the flagship Urbana-Champaign campus has nearly 9,000 - second nationally only to the University of Southern California."
