over 96,700 students from India studying in the U.S., constituting approximately 11.8
percent of the total foreign student population and making India the second leading
country behind China for international students in the U.S.

United States has followed a dramatic upward trend. In 2013, more than 90,000 Indian
students took the Graduate Record Examination for admittance to U.S. graduate schools –
marking an incredible 70 percent surge from the previous year.

Perhaps not surprisingly, New York City ranks as the number one metropolitan
destination for foreign students, having experienced a six percent increase from the 2011-
2012 academic years.
There are myriad reasons for this attraction to New York City, often dubbed ‘The Capital
of the World.’ In addition to its cultural diversity and vibrant social life, the city harbors
endless opportunities for personal and professional growth, which are driven by its
world-class facilities and a strong entrepreneurial spirit – indeed, New York City hosts
more Fortune 500 companies than any other metropolitan area. Equally significant t is its
wide range of educational institutions, which include community colleges, public
universities, and private schools located in and around the metropolitan area.
