Dive Brief:
- The United States is expected to be the biggest destination for foreign students in the next decade, a British report finds.
- Economic slowdowns in China or India — two of the biggest U.S. sources of foreign students — could change that finding.
- By 2024, one-third of globally mobile students are expected to be from either India or China.
Dive Insight:

When the Australian dollar rose against the Indian rupee, Australian schools became too expensive for many Indian students and the Indian student population was nearly cut in half in two years.
