The Central Bank expects foreign students studying in the Dominican Republic to have spent upwards of US$70 million in the DR last year. This would be up from US$66 million in 2005. A poll carried out by the Bank's research department in 2005 says these numbers almost equal the exports of coffee, cacao and tobacco products. Haitians make up the largest number of students, with 6,000. Haitians, nevertheless, are billed as Dominicans, and do not have to pay the premium charged foreigners. According to the Central Bank, there 29 foreign nationalities represented at Dominican universities. Most foreigners study medicine here, followed by engineering, languages, dentistry, and business.
