The United States of America is the number one study abroad destination of the world. USA is home to world's best universities and attracts students across the globe. It is especially popular among aspiring managers. According to the Council of Graduate Schools, the number of Indian students going to the US for graduate studies has increased by 8% in 2011. There are around 1, 04,897 Indians enrolled in US universities and colleges. This figure is far superior to any other country.

However, what is an interesting question to note is that students are still confused how to choose a particular college.
