Summary
A new NAFSA and JB International report forecasts a 9.5% drop in international enrollment at U.S. colleges this fall, equal to about 111,000 fewer students.
The projected decline is tied to the Trump administration’s crackdown on international visas, which the report says will leave campuses nationwide with far fewer foreign students.
The estimate points to a broad national hit for colleges and universities heading into the fall term, extending the effects of tighter visa policy beyond consulates and border processing.
