	Parents send you to the Netherlands to study? BEST. PARENTS. EVER.

	I wonder how these answers compare with those on the "Most beer per capita" quiz...

	I'm surprised to see Costa Rica so high on the list; but then again, lower tuition rates in a very nice temperate climate does sound pretty inviting.

	No Canada? I was surprised with Italy being so high on the list.

	I'm kind of surprised Italy beats out both Spain and France, since as far as I'm aware Italian isn't offered in most high schools. On the other hand, I did all right when I spent two weeks there during my study abroad in Paris.

	I'm going to second MasterNachosII; Canada is way higher on my list than most of these places, and I know a few other students itching to go as well. I think it'd probably be on the list if it was offered as a real 'study abroad' option.

	When students want to experience another culture, Canada probably isn't the first country that jumps to mind. Especially for northern states.

	Happy to have two of those 17,161 American students in France living with me. :)

	@avelokiteshvara: Canada is cold. (That's the perception, anyway.)

	Don't know why I thought that Canada would be number one lol. Not exotic enough.

	Amazing that I knew most of them without cheating. Canada surprised me, as well as Mexico.

	As mentioned, Canada isn't really "foreign" enough to need a special international exchange program. If you want to go to a Canadian school, you can just apply normally. And there certainly are a lot...it seems like half the people I went to university with were American.

	As a few people have mentioned, there is no way more US students are going to Peru, Denmark and Ecuador than Canada. For whatever reason, Canada must not be considered a 'foreign' country for the purposes of this list.

	I've been to Italy on an exchange for my high school, but I never realized it was the second most popular place!

	I understand that the source doesn't list Canada, but if they're going to include Mexico as "abroad", then Canada should also be considered.

	WyattsTorch:	Jan 18th, 2012 at 11:52 GMT		7 points
	Yeah, I have to add to the chorus about Canada not being on there. There are a lot of top notch Canadian universities, and tuition is typically cheaper. Very odd list.

	I know a lot of countries are on this list because the parents or grandparents came from those countries. But I'm still surprised Poland, Switzerland, Norway and Sweden are not on this list, as they all have really good universities. I guess a lot of those students where picking the destination themselves.

	There's a difference between studying in a foreign country (in your own capacity) and being part of a study abroad program at your domestic university. For the latter, the quality of the foreign university doesn't really matter, just the reputation of the weather and culture, since it's credits at your home school that you're getting.

	The statistics need some time element. Are they are for a one-year period? Which period? Or a ten-year average or something else?
