Europe is a very popular destination for the increasing number of U.S. students who study abroad. Of the 304,467 U.S. students who went overseas for academic credit in 2013-2104, more than half of them – 53 percent – touched down in Europe, according to the 2015 Open Doors Report on International Educational Exchange. The report is published annually by the Institute of International Education in partnership with the U.S. Department of State.
Though Europe is solidly the No. 1 host region for globetrotting U.S. students, several of the overall top 10 destination countries are located in other regions.
