| Thanks for playing, guys! @ArtFever: apparently Sweden has started getting a lot of Pakistani students after 9-11 because it visas for the US/UK, etc have become harder to get. @deco: the UK is on the top ten for several, it just never makes the top 5! |

| Strange, I was expecting Germany to be in France's top 5 - I study in France and I swear there are more German students than there are French.. |

| Interesting stuff, but it's unclear what exactly the numbers mean. Thousands of students? I can't figure it out. |

| @jonnyr12: Yes, it's in thousands (see game note). Thanks for playing! |

| Very interesting. I guess this list goes by nationality rather than country of birth, which would explain why minorities feature quite prominently. |

| India was the hardest! Afghanistan? Ethiopia?? Never thought of them! And Lesotho and Swaziland were so obvious I forgot them... Really interesting quiz, i would have expected China everywhere! |

| @osasunaitor: Yes, a lot of Afghans and Ethiopians who cannot afford education in developed countries come to India for a higher quality education than their home countries at a cheaper price than in the US or UK. Also, it's difficult for Afghans to get visas in the West post-9/11. |

| Anyone know why so many French students are heading to Mexico? That struck me as quite odd. |

| @ari18: Thanks so much! I just found the figures interesting so read up a bit on some of the odd ones. @pator: That one beats me, I can't really find anything on it online in English. Mexico does have a few very highly ranked universities so maybe it's just a lot of French students with specialist interests-? |

| Saudi Arabia has that many students in Canada? Huh. I've never met one... Maybe they're all hiding in the engineering faculties. |
| indianwolf1992: | Sep 26th, 2012 at 01:44 GMT | | 2 points |
| @mdalloway: Surprised me too, since the Saudi population is so small (relatively) to begin with! Apparently most of them are doing intensive English studies. And of course there are engineers too. |

| I taught last year at a university in Vancouver and half the class was Saudi. Its apparently becoming quite the trend in Saudi to send your kids to Canada to study. |

| Just FYI, I think it somehow gave me credit for the USA in Mexico and the UK but not in Canada or China. Not sure how that happened. |

| A small error in this quiz: the "United States" entries in Mexico and the United Kingdom are coded to accept "US," but the ones in Canada and China are not. |
 | nanners: | Oct 4th, 2012 at 15:14 GMT | | 2 points |
| Ah, nice catch. It's now been fixed to accept US across the board. Thanks guys and have fun playing! |

| I have a feeling New Zealand should be on Australia's list, but they aren't always recorded as international students because they pay home student fees... |
 | Statto2: | Oct 5th, 2012 at 17:32 GMT | | 3 points |
| @Meltha - I don't think that many people from the UK study abroad. The most obvious example to me of those that do are those that go to the US on sports scholarships but that obviously can't be enough to get them into the top 5 here. I tried Ireland because I thought they might feature amongst the top 5 in the UK. Generally, Ireland's quite small population reduces its chances of making these lists. |
| indianwolf1992: | Oct 5th, 2012 at 20:48 GMT | | 2 points |
| Also, the UK was in the top ten for many of these but not top five, so it was just short of a few. And yes, New Zealand and Ireland just don't have enough sheer population to outdo the Chinese or Indians when it comes to studying abroad. |
