Synopsis

Where are today's international students going and how are they selecting their destinations? In this book, the fifth in a series of Global Education Research Reports published by the Institute of International Education and the AIFS Foundation, Caroline Macready and Clive Tucker describe and analyze current information on how and why students choose their study abroad destinations, and the ways in which national policies in a variety of host and sending countries impact students decisions. This report also provides a thorough analysis of the Exchange Visitor Program in the United States, using statistics provided to the authors by the U.S. Department of State. Overall, Who Goes Where and Why? offers a comprehensive overview of the complexity of student mobility worldwide.
