Las Vegas ranks relatively low among major U.S. metropolitan areas in the number of foreign students coming to pursue college degrees. But it has one of the nation's highest rates of retaining those students once they graduate, the Brookings Institution reported Thursday night.
The think tank, based in Washington, D.C., found that from 2008 to 2012 that 67 percent of foreign students who pursued at least a bachelor's degree in Las Vegas found employment under a student visa program. That was the fifth highest percentage among 118 metro areas that each had at least 1,500 foreign students during the four-year period.
