Several highlights from the group’s 2023 State of Student Recruitment Report conducted from January-April 2023 include:



A growing number of students are researching study abroad options less than six months before applying.
Three-quarters of students are worried about the safety of studying abroad, particularly when it comes to racial discrimination.
Among respondents, 52% were African students and 18% were Asian students.
