NEW YORK, May 5 There 5s
a record-breaking foreign student
population in U. S. colleges and
universities, according to a re
port issued today by the Institute
of International Education.
The current census conducted
jointly by the Institute and the
Committee on Friendly Relations
Among Foreign Students, shows
that well over 30,000 students
from other lands are being trained
, this year in the United States.
Top countries, with the largest
number of their young citizens
studying here, are Canada, China,
and Germany. The biggest jump
in numbers over past years, how
ever, is in the increase in stu
dents coming from Asia, the Near
East and Africa. There is only
one European country (Germany)
now among , the top 10 as com
pared with four from Asia and
two from the Near East.
Nearly 3,000 of the Chinese
students tabulated have been , in
the U. S. twa or three vears. and
are unable -to return to - China i
today. Another sign of the timss j
is that nearly one-third of: the j
20,000 students are women. -
The institute estimates that
these students represent a finan
cial investment of $75,060,000,
working on the basis that total
cost of travel, tuition, room and
board for the average student is
$2,500. Almost half of them - are
fcholarlhip students, receiving
their training on funds provided
by their governments, our gov
ernment, private agencies or by
the colleges and universities
themselves. .

A shrewd student called "the
Washington State College radio
station recently, identified him
self as an Air Force officer, and
cancelled 7 a. m. drills from
some 500 AF ROTC students.
Air Force instructors hastily
pointed out the call was a
phony. They suggested that it
probably came from a reluctant
parader who took advantage of
cloudy skies to get more sleep;

In distribution, the foreign stu
dent population of the U. S. this
year roughly corresponds to the
total population. With heavy con
centrations in New, York and
California, foreign students can
be found in every state in the
union. For sheer numbers, the
most popular American schools
among foreign students are the
University of California, Columbia
University, and New York Uni
versity each having over 1,000
foreign students in their student
body.
Engineering remains the chief
field of study for visiting students.
However, while our engineering
schools are the main drawing
cards for South Asians . and Near
Easterners, most European stu
dents are now coming for study
in social sciences and the liberal
rts. An interesting development
this year is the fact, that religion
is among the top 10 fields of study
for the first time. .
According to the institute, stu
dents from abroad today report
as never before a desire " to get to
know the United States." How,
important this "seeing America
close-up" is, from the students'
viewpoint, is shown by this com
ment by an Austrian boy, quoted
in the report:
