I need your help to tell me a good US university for international students?

Question

I am looking to do my bachelor degree in the US and looking for a US university where there are a lot of international students. Any university(s) in mind?

Answer 1

Just because a university in the US has a lot of international students, that does not mean that it's a strong university, or the best fit for you. You also have to think about your major, and the reputation of the university.

In general, though, the US universities with the largest populations of international students are:

- The New School, in NY

- Florida Institute of Technology

- University of Bridgeport, in CT

- University of Houston

But consider that most reputable US universities have fairly sizeable international student populations on campus. So it may, in fact, be better to first look at which universities are right for you, and are strong in your major; and then to look at how many international students are on campus.

For example, if you wanted to come here to study engineering, I know that a lot of international students may be at U Bridgeport, but I certainly wouldn't put that school on my list of recommendations to you.

And know that if you are to focus on universities in the larger, appealing US cities (NYC, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, etc.), and to look at the more popular universities there (for example, in Boston: MIT, Harvard, Boston University, Northeastern) you will find sizable international populations on campus.

Note also that you may want to look at universities which are known to have extremely diverse student populations. These aren't necessarily all international students, but still, it may help to make the campus comfortable for you. So you could look at:

- Wesleyan College

- Temple U

- U Maryland College Park

- SUNY Stony Brook

- DePaul U

- U of San Francisco

- New Jersey Institute of Tech

- George Mason U

- U of Miami

- CUNY Hunter College

- Stanford

- Manhattanville College

Answer 2

most us universities have a high international percentage.  i would suggest you look into state schools, as they are usually smaller and are more supportive.  private schools can be a bit ore expensive but are usually supportive and small.  I would try and find a school that is accredited in your program.    I'm from the mid-west (indiana, specifically) and the people here are nice and friendly.  I always get smiles on campus.  University of Southern Indiana, where I go, is a good school.  small, about 10,000 students and NO STUDENT TEACHERS.  There is something you might want to look out for.  A lot of bigger schools do not have professors actually teaching the lessons.  If you are interested in coming to a school in Indiana let me know if you have any further questions, because I know someone at most of the schools around here.  Good Luck.

I would try and find a university in a city that is similar to where you live now, or in a city around the size you would like to live in.
