US International Students

Why would this deter international students from studying in the US?

Sure, it's in the United States' interest to retain the best foreign students (and in many students' interest to study in a country which will permit them to live and work there after their study). That doesn't mean the current administration is necessarily inclined to act this wayInternational student enrolment is down 17% this year, because the administration chose to take a broadly similar approach to student visas as they did to immigration, with a "pause" on

Just guessing, but the place most foreign students come from is China.There have been multiple claims that China is using oversees students to steal knowledge or that University have become to dependent on the money from Chinese students and cooperations. Be aware that I'm just saying such claims did happen not that they are true.The fact that many countries also doesn't want to open border to the US again for now might also play a role.

Most students returned to China because they are not allowed to work in the US. The chance of getting a work visa dropped significantly since 2010s.Foreign students aren’t getting American education for free; they pay much higher tuition. They are effectively subsiding the tuition cost of domestic students.

No. But that‘s the point. International students have no good reason to come to the US anymore when they can be kicked out at any second, won‘t get a visa for finding a job after an education that doubles in cost every couple of years.Btw you‘d be surprised how countries way way way smaller than the US have sizeable international student populations.https:/

Foreign students nearly always pay full tuition at US universities and help keep them afloat. Making the US undesirable for immigrants is going to make it harder for US colleges and universities to offer a great education.

American universities attract the best students from all over the world. For example - at Tandon School of Engineering about 80 percent of graduate students hail from foreign countries - https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/03/education/edlife/american...

The supply of foreign students does depends on their career prospects in the US(which is getting worse at least in tech) and also the current administration is weighing policies that would cap intake of foreign students.https://thebusinessfrontier.com/trump-tells-universities-to-...

Unlikely. "Staple a Green Card to their diploma" is what Trump had to say about students from other countries that graduate from US universities. Since out of country students pay the highest tuition rates, universities love them and give them preferential admissions. Though not as bad as elementary and high schools, universities suffer from grade inflation and are reluctant to kick out paying customers, especially those paying the highest tuition. As a consequence, academic standards

Universities accept international students, and hire faculty educated outside the USMore relevant would be K-12
