Foreign students contributed $24 billion to the U.S. economy during the 2012-2013 school year, 12% more than the previous year, according to trade group NAFSA, the Association of International Educators.

Proximity to Hollywood and the California sunshine certainly don't hurt. USC, where 72% of its foreign population is graduate students (most in the engineering school), has led this list for 12 straight years. As a state, California attracts more international students than any other.

More about I-20s, Visas, Internships, Co-ops, CPT, OPT, STEM OPT Extensions and H-1Bs.
What is an I-20?
A Form I-20 (or just an "I-20") is an official document that is issued by your university and attached to multiple entities, namely, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), United States Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). This document contains supporting information that is relative to all these entities so that you can obtain something called a VISA and so that they can track your duration of stay and make sure you are eligible to be in the United States.
The most important pieces of information on your I-20 are: your SEVIS number (which is reported to SEVIS and USCIS when the university generates your I-20), your university, the university number, the degree granting program, and the duration of the program along with the projected costs of the program for a year.
The United States consulate/embassy in your home country uses this document to make a decision on whether you can be granted entry into the United States, on the basis of your academic credentials and your financial status as outlined in the I-20, and which are justified and proven by the financial documents you furnish at the in-person Visa Interview.
Why is the duration mentioned on the I-20 so important? This is because your degree granting program is generally governed by something called a Statute of Limitations, which specifies a time frame in which you are supposed to complete your program and obtain your degree. For most masters I-20s that I have seen, it is thirty-six (36) months or three (3) years, and for most PhD programs or doctoral I-20s, it is seven (7) years. If you are not able to finish your program in this time-frame, your graduate program director needs to request an extension to the Statute of Limitations justifying the extension and why you need more time. One this is done, the graduate dean signs off on this and USCIS and the other agencies are notified by the issuing of a renewed I-20 through the SEVIS.

UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN
For 144
Years, a Leader in Higher
Education
The University of Nebraska–Lincoln, chartered in 1869, is an
educational institution of international stature. UNL is listed by the Carnegie
Foundation within the "Research Universities (very high research
activity)" category. UNL is a land-grant university and a member of the
Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU). The university is
accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association
of Colleges and Schools. UNL celebrated the 144th anniversary of its founding on Feb. 15,
2013.
A
Strong Foundation
Always a place of high
ambition, this was one of the first institutions west of the Mississippi River
to award doctoral degrees — the first was granted, in physics, in 1896. The
University of Nebraska established the world's first undergraduate psychology
laboratory. The discipline of ecology was born here, and the campuses reflect
that tradition, being recognized as botanical gardens and arboreta. An early
institutional interest in literature and the arts provided the foundations for
today's Prairie Schooner literary magazine, for the University of Nebraska
Press, and for the Sheldon Museum of Art, which houses one of the world's most
significant collections of 20th century American art.
Today, the University
of Nebraska–Lincoln is one of the nation's leading teaching institutions, and a
research leader with a wide array of grant-funded projects aimed at broadening
knowledge in the sciences and humanities.
