it is surprising that rich USA (50 times more capita income than India's
atleast) sends only 200,000 students to study abroad , while India sends
100,000 to USA alone. who will gain?

The number of U.S. students studying abroad has doubled in less than a decade
and tripled over the past 15 years. A
record 160,920 students took classes overseas for academic credit in 20012002.
Yet, despite these impressive gains, the
reality is that only a minuscule fraction of college students ever winds up in
a classroom outside the United States.
Much to the chagrin of many educators, these low participation rates occur
despite surveys indicating year after year
that 20 percent or more of a quarter-million incoming freshmen surveyed
intended to study abroad during their
academic career.

I wonder why Indian govt hasn't thought of that. I always though US would be
doing that all along -surprising they were sleeping till 2006.

College recently about it.
