Foreign Student Enrollment Drops by 17% in U.S.

Foreign student enrollment at U.S. colleges saw a slight decrease this fall, but the real concern is a sharp drop in new, first-time international students. This decline has caused financial turbulence for universities, with many reporting budget cuts due to decreased tuition revenue. Despite efforts to advocate for these students, nearly sixty percent of colleges reported a decrease in new foreign students. This trend has led to spending cuts at several institutions, with smaller and regional colleges particularly affected. Meanwhile, colleges in other countries are actively recruiting international students, offering friendlier policies and a more welcoming message. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
