Being a Top 10 State for International Students

According to the Institute of International Education’s annual Open Doors Report, Michigan has been among the top 10 destination states for international students for over 25 years, with over 31,000 students from around the world studying at Michigan universities and colleges in 2019-20.

Location

Michigan’s location is a selling point in itself: it is situated in Midwest America, on the border with Canada and four out of five Great Lakes. This means it has long, uninterrupted freshwater coastline, along with over 11,000 smaller inland lakes and vast forests. Detroit, East Lansing and Ann Arbor are the state’s key cities, and the locations of the best universities in Michigan.

Low cost of living

Michigan has below-average living costs for the US, and is the cheapest Midwestern state to live in. That means you get an American college education for less.
