Koreans Form One-Eighth of Foreign Students in U.S.
One in eight foreign students studying in the United States is a Korean. The U.S. edition of the Hankook Ilbo, citing statistics released by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, reported Thursday that Korean students made up 12.5 percent of all foreign students there as of Dec. 31, 2004. Of 585,739 foreign students from 234 nations, Korean students totaled 73,272, overtaking the 2003 No. 1 India (72,457). The two were followed by China (56,786), Japan (51,646) and Taiwan (30,945). Koreans also made up the most accompanying family members with 19,274.
