The number of international students in Turkish universities was increased in recent years. Despite the increasing number of international students in Turkey, it is still below from the other Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries. To understand the reasons of this situation, it is crucial to examine the selection criteria of international students. The main objective of this study was to examine the most important factors that affect students' choice to study abroad. The study was designed as quantitative research. A correspondence analysis was conducted to identify the information from international students who chose Turkey for higher education. As a multivariate analysis technique, correspondence analysis graphically portrays the choice criteria of international students and their country of residence in a single joint space. A survey was developed by the researchers and distributed to the international students at two public universities in Turkey and the data were collected from 281 international students. The results revealed that the two-dimensional solution was accepted with a significant chi-square value and variances accounted for 99% of the total variance explained. Specifically, the selection criteria for an institution in Turkey and Eskisehir differ with international students' home country.
