Study finds decrease in international students
By LILLIAN GOLDENTHAL | November 16Enrollment of international students at the nation's universities declined by 2.4 percent during the last academic year, according to a new report. The "Open Doors 2004" study, released Wednesday by the Institute of International Education, also states that undergraduate enrollment by foreigners decreased by close to 5 percent. The decrease might mark the beginning of a new trend of lower enrollment, since most foreign students come to the United States to study for multiple years.
