U-M ranked 8th in nation for international students
My, oh my. The world gets smaller every year. Not only is the University of Michigan ranked No. 8 in terms of international student enrollment (6,382 in 2011-12), it also ranks No. 16 in the study abroad category for the second year in a row. Excerpt: "The rankings were in the Open Doors report by the Institute of International Education. The New York-based nonprofit group said enrollment of international students in 2011-12 grew to a record-breaking 764,495 nationwide — a 5.7 percent increase from the year before. The annual report released this week has consistently ranked U-M as one of the most sought-after destinations for international students who want to study at a leading American university."
