Well since the UK is so close and economically/politically connected with other large developed countries you would expect their rate of international students to be greater than the US all things being equal.
- justincormack 14y agoI think the majority of the uk's international students are from less developed countries. Historically they were from the countries in the Empire, although recently there are more from Europe as our universities are better than many other countries.
- ucee054 14y agoour universities are better Do we really compare better? Recommend any references?
- justincormack 14y agoNot better than all other countries in Europe, but a substantial number. Italy's awful University system is well documented eg http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/family-fiefdoms-blamed-for-tainting-italian-universities-2089120.html http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/family-fiefdo... Look at these rankings for example, the UK is right up at the top, followed by Switzerland, the Netherlands, Germany and France, but many other countries are right down the list. http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/world-university-rankings/2011-2012/europe.html http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/world-university-ranki...
