Year, State wise Number of International Students studying in USA

These include primarily holders of F (student) visas and J (exchange visitor) visas. For the purposes of Open Doors, students at institutions other than accredited colleges and universities are not counted, such as secondary schools or vocational schools. Individuals who have permanent residency are not counted.
