Global Engagement is essential for universities to thrive 
in today's interconnected world. Welcoming international students to U.S. campuses is a key pillar in a Global Engagement strategy, as it enriches the educational experience for all students and prepares the next generation of global citizens and leaders.

To support universities in this critical mission, Terra Dotta is pleased to present the results of our 2024 International Student Survey.

The research findings underscore both the enduring appeal of U.S. universities for international students and the opportunities for continued improvement in meeting their needs.

While students are drawn by the reputation, programs, and professional prospects offered in the U.S., they also encounter challenges in integrating socially and academically.

This survey provides insights for enhancing the international student journey and realizing the full potential of global engagement.

We invite universities to reflect on these findings, share best practices, and foster more welcoming and empowering opportunities for international students.
