Info About Americans Going to Africa
-according to Open Doors (a part of Institute for International Education, of which Juniata
College is a member) 2006 Report ( http://opendoors.iienetwork.org/?p=89213 ), 3.5% of
American students who studied abroad in 2004-2005 studied in Africa (a total number of about
7200 students); more info on site, but need a password and username as a member
-according to the National Association of International Educators (with NAFSA), in 2003-2004,
3.0% of students who went abroad went to Africa
( http://www.nafsa.org/public_policy.sec/study_abroad_2/demographics_of_study )
-from scanning other articles that don’t give specific facts, it seems study abroad is increasing, while study in Western Europe is decreasing and other areas (including Africa) are becoming more popular
