The
University of Dayton will
welcome more than 1,000 international
students for the start of fall classes this week – a school record.
About
10,000 graduate and
undergraduate students are enrolled at the university, and about one in
10 hail
from another country, said Sundar Kumarasamy, vice president of UD
enrollment
management.
Most
international students — about 50
percent — come from China.
The
university set another attendance
record last year with its largest incoming class since the Vietnam War
era with
1,050 students. About the same number of first-year students are
expected this
school year, according to the university.
First-year
students moved into residence
halls this past weekend and classes for all students begin Wednesday.
