Thank you for attending our Kickin鈥 it Oldschool Class Room Series. I鈥檓 Bryanna Davis at Internationalstudent.com and today we鈥檙e going to cover some of the 鈥渉ottest鈥 states that international students are choosing to study at in the US- and we don鈥檛 mean temperature hot! If you want to get an idea of the number of international students that were in these top three states I鈥檝e listed them out- but it鈥檚. 听If you already know that you want to study in the US but are having a hard time deciding which state to study in- you might want to take these three states into consideration. Now keep in mind that these are only 3 of the 50 states in the US- so you won鈥檛 want to stop your exploration here, but it鈥檚 a good place to start. Each state is unique and exciting for their own reason, but we are only going to cover the California, New York and Texas, the three most chosen states in the US by international students.
听First, we have California. Located on the West coast of the US, California is known for its nice weather- it鈥檚 fairly tempid year round and has miles of beaches for students to enjoy, plus, it has celebrities! California is home to the beloved Hollywood, an area that has become a central hub for movie stars, musicians and people hoping to see them. Looking beyond the social aspect California has a reputation for providing students with a great education since it includes schools like Stanford University, National University, and the many campuses of the University of California. So it offers a good balance of work and pleasure- which is why it鈥檚 a top hot spot for international students.
The second top 鈥渉ot spot鈥 state is New York- New York is home to the famous New York City, and it鈥檚 a city too great not to mention! 听New York City is known for its high energy (thus it being the called the city that never sleeps) and having arts and culture bursting from every seam. New York City is a melting pot so it essentially has something for everyone. Looking outside of the City there is still so much that the state has to offer- especially for an outdoor enthusiast. If you love change, you鈥檒l love that in New York you鈥檒l get to experience all four seasons. Looking at the academia side of New York, it鈥檚 also host to a number of excellent schools like the New School, NYU, SUNY, Cornell and Columbia. Also, since New York City is such a large hub for businesses- it鈥檚 a great place to be if you choose to participate in CPT or OPT.
Third on our list is Texas! Located in the South, Texas is a state that has the reputation of cowboys riding around on horses- but sadly this is no longer the case unless it鈥檚 on a ranch. 听Texas is just as modern as any other state in the US and has a lot of great schools to offer visiting international students including Texas A&M, Texas State, University of Houston and University of North Texas. Texas is a huge state that offers prairies, grasslands, forests, deserts and coastal regions- enough variety for even the most picky of travelers to choose from. If you prefer city life, there are also 4 for you to choose from: Houston, Austin, Dallas and San Antonio.
If you want more information on each of these states you can visit our school state guide for more. Keep in mind that these three states are where the majority of other international students chose to study- it doesn鈥檛 mean that one of these is right for you. On our state guide page you will also find the other states so make sure you check those out as well. Class dismissed.
