Commentary: Time for Universities to Put Americans First
Universities are growing more competitive as the number of both American and foreign students applying for enrollment increases. Many American students are often unable to attend their preferred universities because of this competitiveness. With an increasing number of fields requiring higher education, our colleges should prioritize Americans first for enrollment.
The Institute of International Education (IIE) announced in November that there are more than 1.1 million foreign students in American colleges on visas. They now account for 6% of student enrollment in higher education. India had the highest number of students in American schools at approximately 332,000 students. China was in second place with 277,000.

But his brother and father were both very much in the business. His father played guitar, sang, and even had his own radio show when he was 13, so the music business is all Dean's ever known.
"It was either make it or wear a hairnet and say, 'Do you want fries with that?'" he joked.
