>Open Doors 2008 reports increases in foreign student enrollments from eight of the ten leading places of origin, and 16 of the top 20, with double-digit increases from the top three countries. India remains the leading sending place of origin for the seventh consecutive year, increasing by 13% to 94,563, following an increase of 10% the previous year. China was again the second leading sender, showing an increase of 20% for a total of 81,127 students in the United States. Students from third place South Korea increased 11% to 69,124. There was a continued drop in numbers of students from Japan, the fourth leading sender, down by 4% to 33,974, declining for the third consecutive year. Canada, the only non-Asian country in the top five, saw a 3% increase to 29,051 students in the United States. Taiwan dropped from #5 to #6, with a very slight decrease (less than 1%) in the total number of students, to 29,001. The number of students from Mexico, the seventh leading sender, increased by 7% this year, to 14,837. 

Consistent with continued investment in scholarships by the Saudi Arabian government through a program launched in 2005, Saudi Arabian student enrollments in the United States jumped 25% to 9,873, bringing Saudi Arabia back into the top 10 (at #9) for the first time since 1982/83. Vietnamese students on U.S. campuses also showed a huge percentage increase this past year, moving from #20 to #13, with an increase of 45% to 8,769 students, on top of a 31% increase the previous year. Also noteworthy is a 15% increase in enrollments from Nepal (#11, with 8,936 students), following a 28% increase the previous year. Students from Indonesia (#16) increased by 5% to 7,692, after declining from a peak of more than 13,000 a decade ago. Nigeria (#20, up 5% to 6,222) replaced Kenya as the only African country in the top 20 leading places of origin, while enrollments from Kenya dropped 8% to 5,838 in 2007/08. 

Accounting for 61% of total international student population, Asia remains the region sending the most students to the United States, with a 10% increase this year. The total number of students from Southeast Asia increased by 11.5%, led by Vietnam’s dramatic growth and additional increases from the Philippines (12%) and Singapore (7%). The number of students from East Asia increased by 9.5%, with a 7% increase from Hong Kong and a 13% increase from Mongolia, supplementing the record highs from China and South Korea. Driven by the large increase in students coming from India, the total number of students from South & Central Asia increased by 12%, despite small declines in the number of students from Pakistan (down 1%) and Bangladesh (down 4%). The number of students from Oceania increased 16%, due to strong increases from both Australia (10%) and New Zealand (17%). <
