     According to the Institute of International Education's annual report, US universities are hosting a growing number of students from China, making China, for the first time, the top country of origin for international students。
    Chinese citizens comprise about 19 percent of the international students in the US, the highest percentage of any country. India and South Korea are next, accounting for 15 percent and 10 percent, respectively。
    "The number of students from China is booming, because of that booming Chinese economy," said Peggy Blumenthal, executive vice president of the institute. "I think one factor is the great number of Chinese families with disposable income, two working parents and only one child, and a determination to invest their money to make sure that child receives the best education possible."
    David B. Austell, director of the Office for International Students and Scholars at New York University, said the Chinese undergraduates came primarily from the large urban areas on China's coast. Because they are not eligible for the same financial aid as Americans and usually pay full tuition, he said, their growing presence is an indicator of just how many Chinese families are financially strong。
    Most foreign students study business and management, followed by engineering, physical and life sciences, and math and computer science. Overall, they contribute nearly $20 billion to the US economy through tuition, room and board, and other expenses, according to the US Department of Commerce。
