A record 338,894 international students studied in U.S. colleges during the 1983-1984 school year, a report financed by the U.S. Information Agency said yesterday.

However, the enrollment of international students, while a record and up 0.6 percent over the previous year, is down less this year, the report said.
At the University of Kansas, 1,442 international students were enrolled in classes as of Aug. 24, said James Stinson, assistant director of the office of foreign student admissions. "We've had lower foreign student enrollments," Stinson said, "but
We've had lower foreign student
theses in the past two years.
These figures are from the first stage
of enrollment and they could increase. It looks pretty strong compared to enrollments in the past."
Exact figures on the number of international students at KU will not be available until after the 20th day of classes, when final enrollment numbers are made, said Clark Coan, director of the office of foreign student services.
Nationwide, the largest contingents of international students come from Taiwan, Iran, Nigeria and Malaysia.
Among Far Eastern nations, 139 students from Taiwan made up the largest group of international students at KU, Stinson He. He said that the Iranian student enrollment, 75%, was lower than the students, was now at only 95 students because of animosity between the United States and Iran.
THE MALAYSIAN STUDENT ENrolment at KU, now 136 students, has increased over the past three years, Stinson said. He attributed the increase to a jump in tuition charged by universities in the United Kingdom, where many Malaysian students have studied in earlier years.
STINSON SAID INTERNATIONAL student enrollments had accounted for an average of 6 percent of the total student enrollments at KU for the past three years.
and Malaysia.
The report, compiled by the Institute of International Education, showed an increase in students from Asia, but a decline in the number of students from other areas.
In U.S. colleges, Asia accounted for greatest number of international students, 132,270, and with the highest increase over previous years, 10.5 percent.
