Trump’s reshaping of higher education tests America’s appeal for international students

The Trump administration has implemented policies since early 2021 that challenge the traditional appeal of U.S. Higher education for international students.
These policies include increased visa scrutiny and deportations related to activism, causing concern among students and prompting some to consider alternative countries like Canada and the UK.
Despite these challenges, U.S. Universities, such as William Paterson University with about 250 international students, remain attractive for research and career opportunities in a diverse economy.
Last year, approximately 1.1 million international students were enrolled in the U.S., with experts like Mike Henniger highlighting that the country was exceptionally well-placed to emerge as the top preferred choice for students from abroad.
Nevertheless, the administration's policies have created an impression that international students are unwelcome, generating uncertainty that may weaken the U.S.'s position as a leader in global higher education.
