Are more US students looking at studying in Canada?

Posted on: November 23, 2008 12:31 PM, by Coturnix

This article made me think about this - it showcases two local examples, and it contains this statement:

Mary Gratch, the academic counselor for the junior and senior classes at CHS [Carrboro High School], was a counselor at Chapel Hill High School for 16 years before CHS opened. She said that about two of her students apply to Canadian universities every year.

"It's a small number, but it kind of consistently happens," she said. "In terms of people selecting schools, it's the United States or Canada typically."

But I am wondering if there are any trends occurring - do more (or less) students consider studying in Canada now than, let's say, five or ten years ago?
