Asian Indians continues to top the list of foreign student in American universities. During the academic year 2007-2008, there are 94,563 Indian students enrolled in American campuses which constitute 15 percent of total foreign enrollement. This is highest we have ever seen in a year!

I have cited more data and information on this in the Coconut Book. Also get latest research report called Open Doors from the Institute of International Education. See also American going to India for higher education. Here is a news report in Times of India.

Interest in American education and everything else that comes with that remains unabated. Recent attacks and killing of Indian students has not decrease the allure of the American degrees. Presence of American companies in India, strength of rupee and global mindset of young Indians could have contributed to this exodus of brain power.

Some of the brightest and smartest end up in American shores. Intellectual climate, lifestyle, opportunities, free society etc continue to be driving force behind getting an american education. American dream is still alive! Unlike in the past, some of these student after graduation will return to India to tap into unprecented opportunities that exist in India today.

Your post is so excellent. But the weakness is your blog is lack of some vitality. It would be greater if some chart or figure is added.

True Religion Outlet

said this on 20 May 2012 12:33:35 AM MDT

The Band of True Religion Jeans was found in the December of 2002, headquartered in Los Angles.The marketing location of True Religion Outlet is to be the top class jeans in American domestic. The True Religion Jeans are warmly welcomed because of the pursuit of excellent detail designs.
How dare the True Religion charge such a lot of green bucks? That must be the tailoring cost most of it. The fitment and the modeling function is the sell point of True Religion. It will make your leg seems much thinner than it actually be and lift your butt, in a word, make you more flirty. The crotches of True Religion are mostly less than 7 inches, match with high-heels, you are definitely a Barby doll. Easy to going with is another reason of True Religion's rise.The butt part with stitching patterns and stylish buckled cover pocket designs allow the shrink and warp visual effects to your hips. True Religion indeed could provide you the same treatment and feeling of being a super model.
