Abstract
The increase of student mobility has gradually attracted the attention of scholars world-widely in recent years. This paper conducts a quantitative study on the national economy and the willingness of students to take U.S. as a destination for study abroad through the data of 187 countries in the GRE test which officially released by the U.S.. educational testing service, as well as, the per capita GDP of countries and national population published by the World Bank from 2017 to 2021. In addition, this paper divides the samples into developed countries, developing countries and underdeveloped countries for comparison. Push-pull theory is applied to analyze the relevance which the data display.
