> Your source on that? All the schools I’m in contact with are still as international as ever in their CS PhD departments. I’m not sure what the trends are outside of CS, but I can’t imagine they would be very different. I think you are just pulling this number out of thin air.

So you're asking for a source when your own view is based on anecdotes? Great.

Yes, the number of international graduate students is at an all time in 2016, and I’m sure for 2017 also. It isn’t rocket science:

Growth has been falling, but that wasn’t the claim that was made, which was actually ridiculous.
