<p>I wouldn't have asked this question if I hadn't already searched all over CC and couldn't find a thread on this. But, which undergrad schools in the U.S. are the most international? I know Tufts is known for being intl, but which other schools have high amts of intl kids? Thanks.</p>

<p>I was just reading this statistic: Florida Institute of Technology's student body is 18% international, representing over 100 countries.</p>

<p>45 Percenter - I question that list because on Tufts' website they say their class of 2011 is 15% intl., not 8%.</p>

11

<p>^ slecman, the Tufts web site says that 15% of the class is "Foreign Citizens, Permanent Residents & U.S. Citizens Living Overseas." The list to which I linked was generated by CC poster collegehelp from the IPEDS web site, which is maintained by the U.S. Dept. of Education to report official data reported to it by the schools. I haven't researched it myself, but I would suspect that the official IPEDS classification of "international" students does not include U.S. citizens living overseas, or perhaps even permanent alien (i.e., noncitizen) residents of the U.S. That probably explains the discrepancy between the percentage on collegehelp's list and the percentage reported on the Tufts web site.</p>

<p>International students in IPEDS excludes Permanent Residents, US citizens living abroad, and refugees.</p>

<p>There was one error in that table I posted (with link in post #8). USC is actually 7-9% international.</p>
