Boston ranks third among metro areas for its number of foreign students, behind only New York and Los Angeles, reports The Boston Globe.
Boston has 47,895 foreign students, which is 4,094 more than last year.

Joey Hsu from Taiwan, also a Northeastern student, told the Globe he finds Boston “energetic, young, and friendly.’’
