There are certainly colleges in the United States that are particularly friendly to international students. Here are a few that have a higher percentage of international students in their overall student body:

- New York University (NYU): NYU, located in New York City, has long been known for its commitment to internationalism. It typically has one of the largest international student communities in the United States.

- University of Southern California (USC): USC, in Los Angeles, is another school with a very high number of international students.

- Illinois Institute of Technology: This university in Chicago has a significant percentage of students from abroad, particularly in its acclaimed engineering and architecture programs.

- University of Illinois–Urbana-Champaign: This large public university has a significant number of international students, particularly in its engineering and business schools.

- Northeastern University: Located in Boston, Northeastern has well-regarded engineering and computer science programs and attracts a significant number of international students.

- Columbia University: A member of the Ivy League located in New York City, Columbia has a high percentage of international students and offers need-blind admission to international applicants, which is rare among U.S. institutions.

Keep in mind that these universities have extensive resources to support international students, such as specialized orientation programs and ongoing support services. It's also worth noting that many other universities, large and small, are eager to attract a diverse student body that includes students from around the world. It's advisable to reach out to admission offices at universities you're interested in to learn more about their specific policies and support structures for international students.
