Leiton Chinn,

Asia has ten of the top twenty destination cities for international students
with Seoul and Tokyo ranked first and second,
followed by Melbourne (5th), Sydney (6th), Singapore
(11th), Kuala Lumpur (12th), Beijing (13th), Taipei
(14th), Hong Kong (17th), and Kyoto (18th)1 Japan,
South Korea, Taiwan, China and Malaysia are having
increasing international student enrollments.

While most Asian nations are experiencing a steady
and sometimes significant increase of foreign students
enrolling in their higher education institutions,
Australia, which was the 2nd leading receiving
country of international students in 2023, has seen
recent declines of enrollment due to new government
regulations and other factors.
