The number of new international college students in the United States has plunged by double digits, a new report by the Institute of International Education reveals — even as domestic student numbers continue to rise.
Enrollment has fallen by 17 percent this fall after a shift that could cost the US an estimated $1.1 billion and eliminate 23,000 jobs nationwide, according to the analysis.
The sharp decline in foreign students follows a series of Trump administration moves to tighten immigration rules, including reduced access to student visas.
Schools were urged to limit the number of foreign students they admit, while a 19–country travel ban that has been in effect for about 6–months, paused student visa interviews, and created outright cancellations of some visas that have made it substantially harder for students overseas to enter American campuses.
Russian anthropology student Polina Igumnova, who arrived at Hamilton College in New York in summer 2023, reports that foreign students are now avoiding the US for college, instead choosing universities in Europe and the Middle East.
'They don't feel welcome or safe necessarily coming here based on what we have seen lately,' she explained.
She says she hasn't seen her family since she came to the states. The risk of having to reapply for a visa is too great.
'I haven't been able to leave the country since Trump came into office because of my visa... It takes some people up to half a year to get visa interviews in some cases,' Igumnova said. 'I obviously won't be going home for the holidays.'

Article sounds like winning to me.
Addition by Subtraction
Winning!!
They should turn over all student debt back to the Universities and demand repayment.
Cost the US?
Colleges don’t think about shrinking their visa dependent, government funding-dependent out of control costs, salaries, personnel bloat, tuitions
They will have to do so
“The number of new international college students in the United States has plunged by double digits”
Sooo, 10 students didn’t show up?
“Russian anthropology student Polina Igumnova, who arrived at Hamilton College in New York in summer 2023, .....”
Why is’t’ she studying RUSSIAN ANTHROPOLOGY in her own country???? Why take up the space an American student can be occupying???
So, is her visa expired? Sure sounds like it - DEPORT.
“She says she hasn’t seen her family since she came to the states. The risk of having to reapply for a visa is too great.
‘I haven’t been able to leave the country since Trump came into office because of my visa... It takes some people up to half a year to get visa interviews in some cases,’ Igumnova said. ‘I obviously won’t be going home for the holidays.’”

Regardless of the other entry conditions, you may not be refused access to training or education in another EU country on grounds of your nationality.
Aw the poor "professors", cry me a river.
That’s one way to make tuition cheaper
“They don’t feel welcome or safe “
Funny, that’s how American Jewish students feel when foreign students act up
BUH-BYE - to the legions of imported s**tholians AND our overbuilt, exploitative and corrupt College Industrial Complex.
Time to raise tuition, no problem!
I love “feel good” stories like this.
Unless these universities have a 100% acceptance rate, they have an option, accept American students. Or make the case that American students are just too stupid for their institution.
A US official from the State Department defended the stricter process, saying, ‘A US visa is a privilege, not a right… As President Trump has said, we want to have great students here. The United States remains the global leader in higher education as the number one destination for international students... while ensuring only the top talent enter our nation’
It will take time to transition our educational system. This is a reboot to the basics of education. In the longterm we will be sitting well. MAGA
In today's dollars, that is somewhere between chump change and lunch money. Get back to me when it reduces tuition by 10% or more.
Guess they’ll have to start tapping into those billion-dollar endowment funds.
My nephew’s application to the University of Mich. Med School was a delayed a year due to the class filled with foreign nationals.
