U.S. College Enrollment Drops for Foreign Students

Foreign student enrollment at U.S. colleges saw a slight decrease this fall, but the real story is a significant seventeen percent drop in new, first-time international students. This decline is causing turbulence for universities, with nearly sixty percent of colleges reporting a decrease in new foreign students. The Trump administrations push for a reduction in foreign student enrollment, along with stricter visa application processes, is believed to be a factor. Some institutions are facing budget cuts due to the decrease in international graduate students, while other countries are actively trying to attract these students. DNN | The Daily News Now!
