Nevertheless on January 2014, this quarter statistical summery data just informed that : "China contributes the 29% of the non immigrant students in the states" and about 740,520 student come from all over Asia".
The summery also shows that " CA, NY, TX, MA, FL, IL and PA host 54% of all active non immigrants students". Numbers reveled that Business related degrees continue to be the most popular, followed by Engineering".
