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

Foreign student enrollment at U.S. colleges saw a slight dip this fall, but the real story is a significant seventeen percent drop in new international students, the sharpest decline since the COVID-19 pandemic. This decrease has caused turbulence for universities, with some reporting substantial holes in tuition revenue. However, colleges like DePauw University in Chicago saw their international graduate student numbers fall by almost sixty-two percent, leading to spending cuts. The Trump administrations push to reduce Americas reliance on foreign students and stricter visa screening may also be contributing to this trend. Meanwhile, universities are offering flexibility to students who couldnt make it to campus, and colleges in other countries are actively recruiting these students. The Daily News Now! - Every city.
