Does anyone know which provinces in China send the most students to colleges in the USA? I've been trying to dig up this info for a project, but I'm not having much luck... Any help would be highly appreciated!
Sure, I'd be happy to help based on the statistics that are available. There's no exact data given by province from the U.S. Department of Education, but reports suggest that Beijing and Shanghai are the greatest sources of Chinese students in the U.S. colleges due to their large, educated populations and strong economic status. However, students from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, as well as other relatively wealthier coastal provinces, also figure prominently.
It's worth noting that there's a trend of increasing diversity in the geographic origins of Chinese students in the U.S., with more students coming from inland provinces. The growth rate of Chinese students going abroad to study has been higher in less-developed regions of China compared to the coastal regions in recent years.
If you need the exact figures of international students by province, you might need to request this information from the institutes directly or check with organizations that work closely with international students from China. While providing this data isn’t standard, these resources might have access to more granular data.
