The academic year 1971-72 marked the first time in 6 years that there was no significant change in the number of foreign students reported enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities compared to the total for the year before. The number of U.S. students reported abroad, on the other hand, was slightly higher than the total reported in 1970-71 and the highest figure ever reported. This document presents statistics concerning foreign students in the U.S. and U.S. students studying abroad by such variables as sex, home country or state, financial support, academic level, and field of study. In addition, information is also given for foreign scholars and faculty members in the U.S. and U.S. scholars studying abroad. (HS)
