Oregon universities expect a record number of international students this fall.
As classes begin today, Oregon’s seven universities expect the largest number of international students ever, even as total enrollment will hit a record, probably topping 100,000. While overall enrollment in Oregon universities climbed 20 percent in the four years ending last fall, international student enrollment surged 45 percent to 5,695 students.
That’s about twice the rate international enrollment climbed among colleges and universities nationwide during the same period. The U.S. total for students from abroad hit 691,000 last fall.
Both in Oregon and nationally, universities are attracting large numbers of students from China, India and South Korea. Oregon also draws a big share of students from Saudi Arabia and Japan.
