Australia remains one of the top places for Chinese students to study abroad, with Chinese students applying to Australian universities in record numbers. Chinese students make up 22 percent of Australia's international students, followed by Indian students as the second-largest group at 17 percent. Most Chinese students tend to gravitate toward the so-called Group of Eight, or Go8, elite Australian universities — the University of Melbourne, Australian National University, University of Sydney, University of Queensland, University of Western Australia, University of Adelaide, Monash University, and the University of New South Wales. Foreign students contribute around a fifth of all university funding and make up Australia's fourth-largest "export", after iron ore, coal and natural gas.
