A recent report forecasts a significant drop in international student enrollment at U.S. colleges and universities. The expected decline is attributed to recent policies on international visas enforced under the Trump administration.
The report predicts a 9.5% reduction in international students this fall, equating to approximately 111,000 fewer students. These figures are based on data provided by NAFSA: Association of International Educators in collaboration with research firm JB International.
This change could impact the diverse landscape of U.S. campuses, potentially affecting cultural exchange programs and financial incomes that many institutions rely upon from international tuition fees.
