Based on the Open Doors 2012 report, the Institute of International Education in a blog signals the trend of American students seeking international experience in short-term jobs, internships, and volunteer work overseas. IIE doesn´t claim that this trend might weaken the flow of Study Abroad students from the US. But the same Open Doors data show a slackening of the growth in Study Abroad, which may also be attributable to the economic crisis.
