During that time, I noticed a striking trend among Korean students studying abroad: their numbers have dropped sharply. There used to be at least a couple of Korean students in almost every class I attended, and many U.S. college campuses boasted lively Korean student associations. These days, I need to look carefully to spot a Korean student on campus. Multiple factors seem to be contributing to this decline in Korean students studying abroad. In an interesting reversal, the decrease in Korean students going abroad is mirrored by a growing influx of foreign students into Korean universities.
