A report from the Institute of International Education showed that foreign student enrollment in U.S. universities dropped by 1% compared to 2018, and the two years prior had drops of 7% and 3%. The drop in the number of students from China has been particularly sharp. Some schools pointed out the president’s rhetoric as one reason for the downturn. The Trump administration instead theorized that the drop was due to high tuition costs and not immigration policies.
The number of foreign students in the U.S. has decreased for the 3rd year in a row.
