According to the Institute of International Education’s Open Doors report, which was released in November of 2015, the number of international students in American colleges and universities reached a record high in 2014/2015 of almost one million. The increase over the previous school year was up ten percent, which is the highest rate of growth in 35 years and 44 states shared in this growth. The United States is the largest host to international students globally and hosts about twice as many students as the second-largest host, Britain.
