American universities with the most Chinese students

In the 1970s, they came from Iran, riding the wave of the oil boom. Then in the first decade of the second millennium, they came from India, filling up graduate programs in business and science. Now, it's Chinese students who comprise the largest group of international pupils in the United States, buoyed by a growing Chinese middle class that's willing to pay top dollar for their children's educations. 

20世纪70年代，他们来自伊朗，借着石油繁荣的东风。在第二个千禧年的前十年，他们来自印度，填满商业和理科类的研究生项目。现在，中国学生成为美国国际学生当中最大的群体。

According to an annual report by the Institute of International Education (IIE), in the 2014-2015 academic year more than 304,000 Chinese students were enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities, an almost five-fold increase from just a decade earlier. This means Chinese students have become a far more visible presence on U.S. campuses. B

根据国际教育学会的一项年度报告，在2014至2015学年有超过30.4万名中国学生进入美国的大学，比10年前几乎增长四倍。这意味着中国学生在美国大学校园里已经成为一种极其突出的存在。

But which ones, exactly? It's a simple question that is surprisingly difficult to answer — there is no complete, publicly available data set that documents the origins of international student populations by school, at every college and university in the United States. Via the Freedom of Information Act, Foreign Policy requested information from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which collects statistics on F-1 visas, the most commonly issued student visa, including the students' countries of origin and which institutions they attend. FP received a complete set of data on the F-1 visas issued in all of 2014 and until late March 2015, which indicated the schools for which each was issued. (FP did not receive this data from DHS until late October.) Those numbers are a strong proxy for the most Chinese campuses in America, and provide an apples-to-apples method to compare them.
