“We are pleased to remain as top-rated in the U.S. for our percentage of undergraduates who participate in study abroad,” says Michelle Rembolt, assistant director of the Office of International Education.

The United Kingdom, Spain and Australia continue to be the top destinations for �������ֳ� students. The University of Glasgow (Scotland), University of Otago (New Zealand) and Nebrija University (Spain) are the institutions with the largest number of �������ֳ� students.
