Student numbers up


Kagan says there are 7,834 Malaysian students attending college or university in the US.

THE ringgit may have taken a battering against the US dollar since last year but this has not deterred Malaysian students from heading to the United States to pursue their tertiary studies.

On the contrary, the number has increased by 8.3 percent for the 2015/2016 academic year compared to the previous year, says US embassy charge d’affaires Edgard Kagan.
